Be Creative Even on the Outside

Have you given any thought to how you can make even the mailing envelope of your wedding invitations look unique to grab the attention of your guests?

There are actually several ways you can be creative with your envelopes.

• Shape - Choose an invitation with a distinctive shape such as a square or tea length style. The mailing envelope will then reflect that same special size to fit the invitation.

• Style - Select a seal and send wedding invitation style. This all-in-one invitation is designed to be folded and sealed into its own self-mailing piece eliminating the need for a mailing envelope.

• Color - How about using color for emphasis? Some invitations now come with colored mailing envelopes. Specifically, self-mailer wedding invitations often include a colored envelopment that holds your invitation card and has a built-in pocket for organizing any extra enclosures. It is then folded up with your invitation pieces inside to become the actual mailing envelope.

• Envelope Seals - Add a decorative seal to the back flap of your mailing envelope to give the illusion that it is sealing the envelope. There are many seal designs to choose from including monograms, names and specific themes.

• 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 already-created wedding designs.

You want to be sure your unique wedding invitations get the attention of your guests as soon as they arrive in their mail and that can be accomplished by using any of the above suggestions.
