The Differences Between Inner and Outer Wedding Envelopes
In the world of event planning, every detail matters! From the choice of paper to the wording of the wedding invitation, you should strive to create a memorable experience for your guests. One often-overlooked element that can significantly impact the presentation and protection of your invitation suite is the choice between inner and outer envelopes. Let’s explore the pros and cons of each choice!
Inner + outer Envelopes
Pros
Protection: The inner envelope acts as a shield, safeguarding your invitation from potential damage during its journey through the mail.
Customization: You can specify individual names, such as "+ guest" or include the names of children invited, adding a personal touch.
Additional Information: Hosting an event with detailed travel itineraries? The inner envelope can double as a storage, keeping all relevant papers neatly together.
Cons
Additional Costs: Printing or calligraphy for individual names can incur extra expenses.
Size and Weight: Inner envelopes, especially for larger events, may contribute to increased postage costs and assembly challenges.
Bulky Assembly: Assembling numerous inner envelopes can be time-consuming, particularly for events with a high number of guests.
outer envelope only
Pros
Cost-Effective: Choosing only an outer envelope is a budget-friendly option, saving on additional printing or calligraphy expenses.
Easy Assembly: With only one envelope to assemble, the process becomes streamlined and less time-consuming.
Cons
Risk of Damage: The outer envelope lacks the protective layer of the inner envelope, making your invitation susceptible to damage during transit.
Limited Personalization: Without the inner envelope, you miss the opportunity to add a personal touch by addressing specific individuals or including personalized details.
