It’s that time of year where award shows are airing every other night on television and suspense ensues nominees as last year’s winners clumsily rip through envelopes, and for people who celebrate the Lunar New Year, red envelopes are all over the place. With that said, today’s post is all about the envelope! Such a tiny detail, but so much can be done with this useful paper item to help add that stylish touch to your wedding day details!
Try adding a chic detail via lining the envelopes of your save-the-dates, invitations, and response cards {see second row, first photo; a delicious marble lined envelope echoes the swirling calligraphy on a set of invitations via Martha Stewart, and entire fourth row, a glamorous suite with black and white damask lining including a long-envelope-sleeve with escort tags attached offer guests a lovely way to house photo booth photos! via Brides}. Envelopes can be added for a clever touch! Have a look at the very first photo… kill two birds with one stone and attach an envelope housing escort cards to the back of a booklet-style program {via Martha Stewart Weddings}. Another great idea is to add an envelope with a stash of tissues in it on a ceremony program, your sappy aunt will surely appreciate it! {second row, second photo via Martha Stewart Weddings}. Try passing out vellum envelopes filled with confetti, dried rose petals or rice for the ceremony toss {top right photo via Martha Stewart Weddings and third row, first photo via Brides}. Another fun idea is to attach them to pages of a scrapbook and have your guests slip notes on mini stock cards in them, seal the envelopes and open up on a rainy day to read your wedding day wishes! {second row, right photo via Martha Stewart Weddings}.
Think outside the box and create envelopes out of sweet square-shaped doilies {top row, middle photo via Martha Stewart Weddings}. Try creating a miniature envelope out of grosgrain ribbons to house your rings {third row, third photo via Brides}. These days, envelopes get a fancy makeover and take the form of enclosures, use these chic paper wraps for programs and invitation sets {third row, second photo: a fun program mounted on a tag-shaped enclosure via Brides and third row, right most photo: an invitation suite housed in a pocket enclosure helps keep multiple-part invitations allowing brides to send out tidy and chic inviations loaded with information via Brides}. For another chic look at enclosures, see last row, last photo for a chic fuchsia invitation mounted on a double-pocket enclosure and wrapped up in pretty ribbons {via Brides}. Lastly, for a witty save-the-date, insert your save-the-date into a cut-out sleeve that reveals only the date! {see bottom left photos via Brides}.
So go ahead and push the envelope on adding unique details to your special day!
Until next week! Xoxo, Wanwisa
I think there is nothing lovelier than a lined envelope. Awesome post!
