You probably thought that printing your wedding invitations was going to be the hard part. But I’ve got some not-so-great news: finding inexpensive + high-quality envelopes is no walk in the park, either. There are so many textures, colors and styles to choose from, if you’re not a pro you might get lost in all the different choices. So, if you’re wondering where to buy invitation envelopes, this post is for you.
I’ve tested just about every envelope on the block, and I’m here to break down my favorite envelope suppliers so you don’t have to do the leg work yourself.
(If you’re wondering how to actually print your envelopes, check out this post.)
Ps. To snag our free A7 envelope template for use in Microsoft Word, just click here. To download the calligraphy font we used (you’ll need this to make your envelopes look exactly like ours), scroll down to the bottom of this post and follow the links.
I hate to say it, especially since I’ve been known to dabble in calligraphy a time or two, but hiring a professional calligrapher to address your wedding invitations is such a waste of money. At $3+ an envelope, why not put your credit card away and make an envelope template (or snag our A7 envelope template for free!) that you can print at home. Run off as many copies as you need, then re-purpose that baby to work for thank you notes, holiday cards, you name it.
Just follow this tutorial and you’ll never have to address another envelope by hand for as long as you both shall live.
Pssst. If you’re wondering where to print wedding invitations online, you’re in the right place. If you’d prefer to print wedding invitations yourself at home, click here.
In the 5 years that I’ve been designing wedding invitations, it wasn’t until recently that I started outsourcing our printing. Printing at home is great (in fact, I have an entire post about the best home printers coming up, in case you’re curious!) but sometimes you just want the process to be simple, even if it means spending a little extra to have someone else do it. If that’s where you’re at, then keep reading. We’ll tell you where to print wedding invitations without sinking your budget.
Fun fact: Pipkin Paper Co. got its start because of expensive wedding invitations. When my husband and I were planning our wedding reception, I longingly poured over those beautiful custom invitations you see online. But even though we didn’t have a ton of guests coming, it was still too expensive to buy the invitations we really wanted, so I decided to make them myself (after spending hours and hours on Google). And today I’m going to show you how to make wedding invitations for your own shindig, too.
Hi there, I'm Stephanie and welcome to the Pipkin Paper Co. blog. Here's where our love of wedding stationery and DIYs meet. We'll show you how to plan the wedding of your dreams without breaking the bank.
