Two printed invitations to the wedding of Rebbe David Moshe Rosenbaum of Kretshnif, to Rebbetzin Esther Rachel, daughter of his brother-in-law Rebbe Chaim Mordechai Rosenbaum of Nadvorna-Seret. [Bucharest/Seret, 1946]

One invitation is from the groom, while the second is from the father of the bride. Both invitations were printed in the same press, and share similar text.
