Wedding Invitation Envelope Seals

Decorative envelope seals can add a nice finishing touch to your wedding invitation mailing envelopes. Self-adhesive seals create the illusion of sealing the back flap to the mailing envelope even though it has already been secured.

Envelope seals are available in many different designs including themes, monograms, specific colors, specialty shapes and sizes. Some styles even give the option of including your first names and/or wedding date.

Usually envelope seals are purchased separately since they are optional. There are, however, a couple of invitation styles that include seals since these styles are designed to fold up into their own self-mailing pieces and are fastened with seals. These styles are seal and send wedding invitations and self-mailer wedding invitations. When included with your invitations, envelope seals are typically clear but sometimes they may be personalized.

Bachelorette Invitations

Will your wedding festivities include a bachelorette party? If so, bachelorette invitations give everyone invited all the details and can often times match the type of party you’re planning.

Bachelorette party invitations typically include the bride’s name, the names of those hosting the party, the date and time along with the name and address of the location. To find out how many guests will be attending, you may want to list an RSVP phone number.

Here’s just one sample of bachelorette invitation wording:

Grey Wedding Invitations

Grey may not be the first color you think of when it comes to wedding invitations but don’t rule it out until you take a look at all its possibilities.

Grey and white create elegant wedding invitations on their own but grey is actually quite versatile and can be successfully paired with many other colors to create unexpected combinations.

This invitation features grey (platinum) and fuchsia which make a beautiful color combination. It continues that theme by using both those ink colors for the imprinting as well.

This is just one of our many styles of modern wedding invitations and showcases grey (pewter) and canary yellow for a unique design.

Here is another unexpected color combo of grey and green (citrine) to create unique contemporary wedding invitations.

Pocket wedding invitations have also become popular and this style combines a grey pocket with a sapphire design on a white card.

As you can see, grey can be a very stylish choice for accenting wedding invitations in its assorted shades, both light and dark.

Casual Wedding Invitations

Depending on the tone or setting of your wedding, you may be looking for more casual wedding invitations.

Certain wedding themes may be fitting of casual invitations. Examples might be if your ceremony will take place on a beach or in Las Vegas.

If you and your fiance are planning a very small, private ceremony and are then planning a post-wedding reception, your choice may also be to send out less formal wedding invitations. Elopement announcements may be another occasion for being more casual.

Maybe you and your fiance are simply a couple known for being more casual or are well known for a special hobby as shown on this golfing theme wedding invitation.

Remember it’s your wedding and you will make the final decision on which invitation design you feel is appropriate.
