Last but not least in our series on invitation choices comes invitation packaging. You've got a gorgeous invitation sitting in front of you, and you can't wait to get it out to your guests. Your invitation suite probably has multiple pieces: the invitation card, rsvp card, maybe a reception card, accommodation card, etc, etc, etc. How do you organize all the schtuff and get it ready to go?
You have a few last decisions to make though before sending them out into the world. Invitation packaging and design opens a whole new world of final finales for your wedding stationery. Here are some ideas to inspire you to get those invitations out the door...
A fun way to organize all your wedding information is shown with this bradded invite. A grommet, button, brad, or other gathering device can be used to pinch the corners of your cards and allow guests to thumb their way through the information.
Maybe you'd like to have your invitation layed out in the accordion style pictured below. The cool thing about this is that there are no loose pieces for your guests to lose, and the invitation can sit up by itself on someone's mantle or shelf or what not.
Big brother of the accordion style is the book style of invitation where your information is nicely assembled into an actual book! These can be done as simply as a staple down the spine of your invitation fold or as detailed as this hand stitched book with imported papers such as this fancy-schmancy example below.
Maybe you'd just rather have all those loose invitation pieces bundled up in something beautiful such as fabric, a belly band, or a beautiful doily like this one.
Next comes the pochette which is cool first because it is fun to open and two because it is fun to say. Try it with me now: Po-Chette. :)
Big brother to the pochette is the pocket folder which can come in all kinds of shapes and can nicely hold all your information.
Now let's think outside of the box. Your invitation doesn't even have to be on paper. In this case, we have an invitation screen printed on fabric and assembled into a scroll!
And last but not least, let's think back inside that box. Literally. How much fun is it to receive a package in the mail? Answer - lots. So you know your guest would be delighted to receive your invitation nestled in a lovely box coordinated to your color palette.
These are just a few of the different ways that you can package up your very special wedding invitation which will delight your very special wedding guests.
This installment wraps up our invitation design post series. We hope that you have been inspired to get your noggin' spinning on what you'd like to have for your own invites! Remember that your invitation designer and your own creativity can work together to create exactly what you want!
