If you have already defined the date and place where the wedding will take place, along with the people you will invite, then you are ready to send your wedding parties.

But besides selecting the cards where you will write the coordinates, the envelopes are an element that you can't forget. Based on what to choose them? Since the classic white envelopes went out of fashion, here you will find 9 proposals in wedding envelopes according to the style you want to give to your celebration.

    1. Country envelopes

    Polack

    If you will be saying "I do" in a ceremony in the countryside, plot or vineyard, you can advance the theme through some rustic wedding envelopes made of kraft paper, either plain or corrugated. In addition, you can tie them with a jute ribbon or incorporate a sprig of lavender as an ornament.

    And another rustic envelope idea can be something as simple as wrapping the card, rolled up like parchment, in a piece of burlap tied with a ribbon.

    2. Romantic envelopes

    Polack

    Usually in white or pastel colors, such as pale pink, romantic envelopes often include a delicate detail, such as a sealing wax stamp with your initials, a ribbon or a tied rosebud. Romantic envelopes tend to be made of plain papers, such as opaline card stock or pearlized sirius.

    However, another alternative for romantic envelopes is to choose them in vegetable paper or albanene, which is characterized by being very thin and semi-transparent.

    3. Vintage envelopes

    They will evoke an air of the past if you go for an elegant die-cut or lace envelope. You can choose a colored kraft paper for the card and tie the envelope with string, including pearls or an antique brooch as a centerpiece.

    However, if they prefer a more playful style, they'll love the pop art themed wedding envelopes, where they can even incorporate their faces as a cartoon, or use a wax seal with a vintage aesthetic.

    4. About bohemians

    Because of its texture and diversity of colors, batik paper is ideal for making boho-inspired bridal envelopes, and you can always add an ad-hoc detail, such as some dried flowers, a spike, a sprig of paniculata or some olive leaves.

    Or you can choose cotton paper envelopes and decorate them with an arrangement of colorful feathers, among other envelope decorations.

    5. Seasonal envelopes

    Printed envelopes are perfect if you want to mark the season in which the wedding will take place. For example, if you are getting married in summer, go for envelopes in vibrant colors printed with lemons, watermelons, palm trees, flamingos or parrots.

    On the contrary, if the wedding will be in winter, they will look great with envelopes printed with dry leaves, branches or pale flowers. For a wedding in mid-season, they can use wedding invitations in envelopes printed with geodes, geometric figures or watercolor designs.

    6. Eco-friendly envelopes

    If you plan to celebrate an environmentally friendly wedding, then envelopes in sustainable papers will be your best choice.

    You can choose from environmentally friendly paper, recycled paper, compostable paper or paper made from seeds that can be planted, among other options. However, to follow the slogan, be sure to write the envelopes in your own handwriting.

    7. Glamorous envelopes

    On the other hand, if you're going for an opulent, over-the-top wedding, surprise your guests with some distinguished party favors encased in velvet envelopes with metallic lettering.

    Or, if you really love glitter, choose your envelopes in pearl glitter paper, they will look great!

    8. Integrated envelopes

    You will also find modern envelopes integrated to the card, for those who prefer a 2 in 1 format. The invitation is at the same time the envelope, which, once unfolded, will show the coordinates of the wedding.

    These one-piece parts are convenient, practical and come in a variety of styles, from envelopes/prescription cards to movie tickets, concert tickets to fans.

    9. Original envelopes

    Finally, there are several other formats that can be used as wedding party envelopes, such as boxes of different materials, glass bottles of various sizes, colorful organza bags or tin jars.

    For a romantic wedding, for example, you can fill a box with rose petals, under which the invitation is hidden. Or, for example, for a wedding on the beach, add some sand to a bottle, where the card will be rolled up and decorate the outside with a starfish or a seashell.

    Organza bags are a good choice for smaller invitations, while canning jars are ideal for puzzle pieces.

    Just as there are very ingenious ideas, there are also discreet envelopes for the more traditional bride and groom, depending on what each couple wants to transmit to their guests in this first approach to their marriage.
