Wedding invitations are one of the few pieces of mail that
people enjoy receiving. It’s fun to open up that envelope
knowing there’s a custom invitation inside. But amidst all
of today’s junk mail, how can you make your envelope stand
out to get your guests’ attention?
There are actually several ways you can make your mailing
envelope as unique as your wedding invitation.
- Shape - With so many wedding invitation
designs available today, you could easily select a uniquely
shaped style such as square or tea length. The mailing
envelope will then reflect that same distinctive size to fit
the invitation.
- Style - Another option is to select a Seal and
Send wedding invitation style. This all-in-one invitation is
designed to be folded into a self-mailing piece eliminating
the need for a mailing envelope. The response card is
attached to the invitation so it can be easily detached by
your wedding guest along the perforation. This also
eliminates the response card return mailing envelope and
saves on your postage cost as it only requires a postcard
stamp.
- Color - How about using color for emphasis? Some
wedding invitations now come with colored mailing envelopes.
In particular, self-mailer invitations often include a
colored envelopment. The envelopment holds your invitation
card and has a built-in pocket for keeping any extra
enclosures. It is then folded up wrapping around all your
invitation pieces to become your mailing envelope.
- Decorative Seals - Adding a seal to your wedding
invitation envelope could be that extra touch you’ve been
looking for. Even though your envelope is sealed, you can
choose to place a special seal on the back so it gives the
illusion that the seal is actually holding the flap down.
There are many seal design choices, from monograms to first
names to specific themes. Their appearance can be clear,
white, silver, gold, embossed, etc.
- Custom Wedding Stamps - There are now websites
that offer you the option of creating your own personalized
postage stamps using an uploaded photo or choosing from
ready-to-use wedding designs. This is a great way to dress
up your wedding invitation envelopes to reflect your
personal style.
You want to be sure your wedding invitation gets the
attention of your guests as soon as it arrives in their mail
and that it doesn’t get lost in their sea of junk mail and
bills. Using any of the above suggestions will surely
accomplish this and will start building their excitement
even before they see your actual invitation.
