Anatomy of a Wedding Invitation

I get it, you've never planned a wedding before so how do you even know what to send out in your invitations?

Let's start with the basics.

Invitation

Your invitation contains the most important details
- names, date, time and location.

Typical Card Size: A7 (5x7")

Info Card

Typically used for reception,
hotel, transportation, dress code
and website information

Add in a die cut shape for an
unexpected twist.

RSVP Card

Let your guests know how to
tell you they are attending.

You can use a traditional mail
in RSVP card or go for
website instructions if that fits
your wedding better

Finish with Accessories

Elevate your invitation design with fine accessories. None of these pieces are necessary in any way, but can convey a sense of luxury, attention to detail, and very intentional design choices.

Envelope Liners

Envelope liners add a fun pop
of personality to any envelope.

They also add an feeling of
luxury and a fine attention
to details.

Belly Bands

Wrap your invitation with a
belly band to hold all of the
cards together snugly.

Vellum

Vellum wraps are available plain
or printed in your favorite pattern.

They protect your invite should the
envelope get damaged in the mail.

Wax seals are not required, but add
another timeless element.

Hand Torn Edges

Deckled paper is so soft and
ethereal!

Each piece of billowy soft
cotton card stock is hand torn
to create a feathered edge.

Print Methods

All print methods are gorgeous, I'm not gonna lie. You have options!

Digital Printing

This print method is smooth to
the touch and can also be
referred to as flat printing.

I use paper with a light eggshell
texture here that shows off
all of the gorgeosus details.

Letterpress Printing

We craft a custom press plate for
your design and press the inked
plate into cotton paper, creating a
beautiful impression that you can
feel with every touch.

Letterpress your entire design, or
combine it with digitally printed
watercolor elements.

Foil

Similar to letterpress, a custom
press plate is made of your design.

That plate is hand pressed with
metallic foil, for a brilliant
touchable impression.

Foil just part of your design
or the entire invitation.
