Description from source	Overall Dimensions - Closed 105 mm (Width), 145 mm (Height) Invitation, in Greek and English, to the wedding of Eric and Faye Mangos in Melbourne on 2 June 1968. Wedding invitation, stiff cream paper folded twice. Paper has a textured finish. Front embossed in gold lettering 'Marriage' and image of a wedding couple and a bird holding an invitation. Inside has text on English and Greek Significance The Mangos family collection explores the migration experiences of two Greek people who arrived during the high point of Greek migration to Australia after World War II. The Australian Greek population doubled to 140,000 between 1961 and 1966. Their meeting on the ship and subsequent marriage is a classic migration narrative, as is the theme of chain migration which runs across three generations. It also enables the telling of the pre-migration experiences which partly resulted in the family relocation.
