Almost everyone enjoys the excitement of getting a beautifully presented gift. The presentation itself says that the recipient is dear to the giver.
What better way to help the bride and groom show how much they cherish the most important people in their lives than with boxed wedding invitations? You can help them imagine receiving a box that has been covered in beautiful fabric, adorned with special brooches, flowers or other significant mementos. Who wouldn’t be curious – and anxious – to know what’s inside?
Most brides and grooms favor these thoughtfully designed invitations because a boxed wedding invitation allows for the greatest creativity in reflecting their tastes and setting the tone for the wedding.
Selecting the right wedding invitation box
Once the wedding theme and style is established, help the bride and groom select the box and its design. A padded box suggests maximum luxury.
Boxes can be covered in silk, satin or velvet, and each can also be embellished with ribbon, monogramming or logo printing, brooches or other textiles.
Wedding invitation box standard inserts
Wedding invitations are keepsakes to be cherished and saved; guests can do the same. They will, with the right inserts.
- Create the right text – There are many choices for not only the wording, but also the look of the cart itself. Print, emboss, foil stamp, calligraph or letter press each invitation using the bride’s chosen colors or metallics.
- Insert the RSVP card – Include this card with a stamped envelope, and consider printing it in the same colors chosen for the invitation.
- Produce a storybook or poetry chapbook – Tell the story of how the couple met. Include pictures, favorite quotes or poetry so guests get a deeper glimpse of who the couple is.
- Suggest glass engraving – A glass-engraved invitation may be the epitome of elegance, and it’s something everyone can display for years to come.
Opt for maximum creativity
The overall design of the box and its inserts should reflect the tastes and interests of the bride and groom.
Not all wedding box invitations have to be formal. For informal weddings, especially destination weddings, consider placing a small object of significance, such as a starfish, in the box. You might also recommend printing the invitation on the object itself; for example, if the bride and groom are avid musicians, they may consider getting instrument cutouts and printing their invitations on them.
Shipping
Guide the bride and groom in the delivery of their invitations, which can be mailed through the post or shipped, but suggest something more personal. Suggest hiring a delivery service for those people on the invitation list who live far away. Hand deliver the invitations to those nearby.
