Retro and vintage church graphics
Retro graphics borrow a decade on purpose: warm grain, a limited ink palette, type that feels printed rather than glowing. They work for a camp, a youth weekend, or a series that is actually about that era. They feel like a costume if the event is ordinary Sunday.

Use it when
- The theme names a period, a camp, or a throwback.
- You want print texture, not a neon night.
Pick something else when
- The audience is guests who have never been. Vintage can read as inside-joke. Bold or Editorial is clearer.

Questions
Will the grain hide the date?
It can. Ask for the date in clean type, and keep the texture in the background.
