Buying Guide

Match envelope size to invitation

Confirm your invitation dimensions — A7 fits 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" cards while A4 styles suit different folded or flat inserts, avoiding costly trimming or reprinting

Choose the right closure

Peel-and-press or self-seal closures speed assembly and provide consistent adhesion, while traditional gummed flaps may require moistening and extra time

Consider paper weight and finish

Heavier card stock (e.g., 80 lb text) and textured finishes give a premium feel and better durability in mailing

Pick colors that match your palette

Brands offer colors like mandarin orange, limelight green, and lilac purple — select a tone that complements your invitation and envelope liners if applicable

Buy by pack count for value

Assess guest list size and choose larger packs (250–500) to reduce per-envelope cost and ensure consistency across all mailed pieces
