What Is An Envelope Liner And Do You Need One?
If you're looking for a way to make your wedding invitations stand out – literally, from the envelope, then you might want to consider using envelope liners.
What's an envelope liner?
There are many different ways to add authenticity and personality to your wedding invitations. An envelope liner is one of them – it's a simple but striking addition that can infuse your personal stationery with flair and elegance.
An envelope liner is a piece of paper placed inside the envelope so that it lines the inside of the flap, and it is visible when the flap is open. They are typically made from card stock or decorated paper and then, they are cut to fit inside a mailing envelope. If you have a design that you want to showcase or have a theme or color scheme for your wedding, an envelope liner can help bring those elements together.
One of the main reasons why I love them is because they're a thoughtful way to add a creative touch to your invitations. Many couples choose to coordinate their envelope liners with their invitation design, but I've also seen a fair share of brides and grooms who opt for something contrasting, like a bright pink or metallic lining in an otherwise muted invitation suite.
Envelope Liner Design Ideas
You can use whatever design you want for your envelope liners, but there are some common styles that make good options to try:
Colors: choose one color or mix and match multiple tones. One of the main reasons people use envelope liners is to add color, so if you choose a colored liner, make it one that stands out and complements the rest of your suite.
Patterns: patterns go along with colors – you can choose to use a patterned envelope liner with one or multiple colors. Some examples of patterns you can use for envelope liners include stripes, polka dots, chevron lines, florals, hearts, and stars.
Photos: photos work well as envelope liners because they add an element of personalization, making the design stand out from other invitations. You can also create a photo collage or use multiple photos combined in one liner!
Do You Need An Envelope Liner?
You do not need an envelope liner, but they add a finishing touch to your invitation suite that I highly recommend. I love them because they:
Add a pop of color and dimension to your invitation suite;
Can match your design or accent color;
Are customizable - you can have them printed with a pattern, photograph, or any other design element;
Can be used as an opportunity for guests to get a sneak peek at what will be in store for the event;
Help keep your invitation clean and protected during delivery.
Including a customized envelope liner in your invitation suite is a great way to make an impression. It may seem like a simple detail, but it gives your invitations that added a bit of polish that will let your guests know they're in for something special.
