What Kind of Envelope for Invitations?
For wedding invitation envelopes,
- the standard size is Western-style No. 2
- with a triangular flap that has a diamond pattern design.
This is indeed the typical form of envelope!
If you're particular about the envelope, you might consider options like using colored envelopes or opting for a square shape instead of a rectangular one.
In this article, we'll focus on the "flap" area that is glued, showcasing some slightly different envelope designs.
For instance...!
Unique Envelope Flap Designs Picked Up ♩
【①】
The triangular area of the flap with a diamond pattern design has quite a deep profile.
A characteristic feature is that the sealing stamp or seal is placed very close to the bottom edge of the envelope.
【②】
A flat envelope with a straight line flap instead of a diamond pattern ♩
This type is more commonly used in business settings, but it gives a nice casual touch when used for invitations.
【③】
We discovered an envelope where the flap's switch point is not in the center but shifted to the right.
Asymmetrical envelopes are quite rare, aren’t they? ♩
【④】
An envelope designed like embossed paper, which looks like it has been torn, is also something I haven't seen much before, making it unique.
It has just the right amount of casual feel and is stylish.*
A Different Flap Design Gives a Sense of Distinction ♩
I've gathered shapes of slightly unusual invitation envelope "flaps."
While they may seem subtle details, they felt stylish and unique compared to the standard options.♡
For brides who want to pay attention to the invitations ♡,
it might be a good idea to focus on the envelope design (especially the flap!) as well.♡
