Custom Envelope Liners Elevate Your Wedding Invitations

When it comes to wedding invitations, all of the little details come together to create a cohesive look that is representative of you as a couple. Custom envelope liners are one of our favorite small (but mighty!) additions to enhance and elevate your wedding invitations! These paper inserts can help transform your envelopes from basic mail to an awe-inspiring experience, and can even use materials other than paper. From black tie affairs to whimsical and out of the box events, we at Hyegraph Invitations & Calligraphy adore envelope liners and think they’re a fantastic way to add an extra layer of color, personality, or even texture.

What Are Envelope Liners?

Envelope liners are usually made of colored, patterned, printed, or textured paper. They get adhered to the interior of your wedding invitation envelope, adding both design and thickness. Specialty materials, such as tissue, vellum, wallpaper, fabrics (like suede or velvet), can even be used sometimes. We can help you coordinate your envelope liners with the rest of your wedding stationery suite. Choose from a solid color for a simple look, or elevate your wedding invitations with custom patterns, florals, or even textures.

Reasons To Add An Envelope Liner

You might be wondering, “Why should I add a custom envelope liner?” Here are some of the reasons why we think custom envelope liners make an impact.

• Make A Good First Impression
  • Consider the guest experience in receiving your wedding invitations. Once it arrives in their mailbox, the first thing they will see when they open up the envelope is the carefully chosen envelope liner. As they say, the invitation sets the tone for the wedding. Well, the envelope liner sets the tone for the invitation itself!
• Add Personal Design
  • Even for the most simple invitation styles, the envelope liner can be an area where you add your own personal design style or reflect your wedding aesthetic. Floral patterns can be used to represent a garden wedding or the flowers you plan to use in your decor. Watercolor or illustrated venues or cityscapes can bring in an extra touch for destination weddings. A custom monogram can even be used to brand your invitations, and later, your wedding day.
• Complete The Look
  • Our custom envelope liners are typically designed with your full wedding stationery suite in mind, and also taking into account your personal wedding day decor, colors, design, and more. Every element can help make your full wedding design cohesive, including your envelope liners.
• Functionality
  • While they definitely add to the visual appeal of your wedding invitation suite, custom envelope liners can also add thickness to your envelopes, assisting in protecting your invitation cards as they make their way through the postal service and to your guests.

Envelope Flap Shapes and Sizes

If you are choosing to DIY your own custom envelope liners, make sure that you consider the envelope size and flap shape. While envelopes may look similar, the sizes can vary based on the manufacturer, and you’ll want to make sure that your envelope liner fits perfectly into the envelope. If you are ordering wedding invitations with us at Hyegraph, we suggest leaving the custom envelope liners to us so that we can make sure they fit your envelopes and also assemble them for you! Below are images of the three most popular flap shapes: straight flap, pointed flap, and euro flap.

Different Envelope Liner Styles

Just like your wedding invitations, the style of your custom envelope liners should reflect your personality and your event design. There are many options to choose from, and we’ve put together some of our favorite categories for your consideration.

Solid Envelope Liners

These are perfect for those just looking for a pop of color, whether in a matching tone, or a contrasting pop. Choose from a variety of matte and shimmer paper colors, or even glitter! We can even print a custom color for you.

Floral Envelope Liners

Whether you’re looking to match the flowers from your wedding, the design from your invitation suite, or just simply love botanicals, we love a good floral envelope liner.

Venue Illustration Envelope Liners

To get guests excited to attend the wedding, many of our couples are opting for a venue illustration or painting of the area they are getting married in. These are a beautiful option for destination weddings. You can even use a map!

Monogrammed Envelope Liners

A custom envelope liner is a great spot for your personalized monogram or wedding crest when you want to keep your invitation cards simple. Combine different categories and add florals, patterns, or colors, too!

Patterned Envelope Liners

There are so many wonderful patterned envelope liner options to choose from! Consider classic Italian Florentine, a geometric design, or even a specially created pattern with icons representative of your wedding. Our recent favorite is the Paris metro ticket collage we created, as our couple used it on a daily basis while they were dating.

Foil Stamped Envelope Liners

For ultra luxe custom envelope liners, add foil stamping for the ultimate eye catching detail. Hot foil stamping creates a slight indentation in the paper, adding a delightful texture and a super shiny finish.
