Let’s put an end to just tossing your wedding invitation suite in an envelope and calling it a day, yes? There are many, many different ways to display your wedding invitations and enclosure cards, from using ribbon to tie everything together, to displaying them inside a pock fold or simply just tucking everything neatly inside a pouch.
And not all of these options cost a ton of money, either.
Some, like belly bands or vellum wraps were practically made for couples on a small budget.
So, if you’re looking for ways to dress up your invitation suite and knock the socks off your guests, look no further.
Here are six of my favorite ways to display your wedding invites.
Truth be told, there’s no hard rules governing what pieces go in an invitation suite.
While your invitation gives guests the vital where + when information, it’s the enclosure cards that really make your invitation suite come alive.
Enclosure cards are a great way to flex your creativity, differentiate your invites and make your guests feel special. They are your guests’ first experience with your wedding, after all. And choosing your wedding invitation pieces carefully goes a long way toward wooing your guests and making the entire experience feel special.
That’s why we’re not huge fans of the one-size-fits-all wedding etiquette.
But we do believe in having enough information to make choices that feel right to you and your spouse.
So, here’s a list of the pieces that traditionally go in a wedding invitation suite. At the end we included some great optional pieces that will set your suite apart.
