I absolutely love this new recipe from the new Envelopments holiday release. How perfect are these colors? I love when I get something bright and bold in the mailbox. And with all of the greens and reds, blues and silvers it's nice to see some gold in the mix. And the blue and green that accent the cards are the perfect touch!

Playing with Envelopes {Ideas and Inspiration}

Now I know that Miss Manners and etiquette say that you should always hand address your invitation envelopes but if you don't mind going against the grain there are a few things you can do to spice up your envelope. Using different fonts, colors and even a picture or two can take your envelope, and invitation, to a new level.

You can stick with simply using a calligraphy type font to go with a classic, elegant look. Having us print the names and addresses of your guests directly on the envelope will save you time and money (if you were going to invest in a calligrapher).

Another great idea that some brides are doing is to have a calligrapher write the return name and address out and turn that calligraphy into a stamp. This not only is perfect for your invitations but will also be something that you can use for years to come! You can find many stamp makers who do this but a few we like are Emilie Friday, Fawnsburg and eDanae.

Using a different font can lighten up an invitation envelope. And playing with different font sizes can also make your invitation envelope stand out and stay unique.

Adding a simple picture that ties your envelope in with your wedding theme can give the guests a glimpse of whats to come. By adding color to the envelope, whether that color is the envelope itself or the font and picture on the envelope, you can also change the look and feel of this important piece of stationery.

And remember if you are using a black or very dark envelope color you will need to use calligraphy in either white or silver ink or you can use our custom wrap around labels. The labels would also work well with other envelope colors as well.

FAQ Series – RSVP Postcards

Danielle — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:13:00 +0000

I get a lot of the same questions over and over again - so will try to cover a few of the more frequently asked ones in this BLOG.

RSVP cards...you now have an option for either a traditonal RSVP card with envelope or an RSVP postcard. An RSVP postcard is just a traditional printed RSVP card on one side.... and on the reverse the return address is printed for the guest to mail direcly back to the host of the party.

The RSVP postcard take less postage (the host sending out the invitation is supposed to add the stamp so these are paid for your guest) only $.27 for a postcard rate rather than the $.42 a 1st class stamp is! AND you save the extra envelope charge - the Envelopments mix and match line prices everything seperately so you will pay an additional $0.30 (or more depending on size and type of paper) or so for each envelope IN ADDITION to the $0.42 stamp to send your RSVP in an envelope! - it really adds up once you purchse one of these for all your invitations!
