Add a beautiful liner to your envelopes as an affordable way to enhance your wedding invitations. Envelope liners add weight and texture, making your announcement even more special. Add a sparkling gold or silver liner to enhance charm and metallic embellishments, a botanical green to compliment handmade petal papers or a luxe floral print with rich solids.
To further enhance invitations, envelopes should be hand-addressed with the guests’ names… it might be tempting to use generic computer labels or printing, but they can never match the beauty and care that has gone into hand-addressing the envelope. Wedding invitation wording guidelines also suggest that the street address, city, state are spelled out, without abbreviations.
The finished invitation should be brought to the post office to determine postage, then choose a beautiful stamp to complete. Following proper wedding invitation etiquette, combined with these elegant liners will make a big impact on the final product, with little cost.
Envelope liners from Formal-Invitations are pre-cut to fit in their envelopes and are available in metallic Sterling Silver (12¢ each), Midas Gold (12¢ each), Botanical Green with bits of leaf inclusions (32¢ each), Silver Floral block print on rich black (24¢ each), pearlescent gold swirls (16¢ each) and a hot pink, lime, orange and silver Fantasia floral (24¢ each). Use the coupon code 50PLINER1109 at checkout and take 50% off these gorgeous liners through November 30th, 2009 for even further savings.
