What I would suggest:


Download Gimp or Inkscape
Go to the site where you plan on getting it printed and look at the specs. I am using VistaPrint as an example. Per the documentation I will need to create a document 3.15" x 3.15" @ 300dpi:




If I want to know further on what I need in regards to what is acceptable for delivery I will go to there Formats page.


After creating the document and reading the documentation I do not need to create guides for the bleed:





Since this is supposed to be elegant I would suggest using a script or handwritten font.


To find a good font I would suggest navigating to Font Squirrel. Look on the side of font squirrel and you can cycle through the font list:




Type in text on the document you've created and experiment with the placement, position, how many lines, etc. etc. For this amount of text I would experiment with two or three lines but that would depend on the font.


Hope that is helpful If you need any further assistance please edit the question and not add it within the comments.
