Cream Roses and a Sage Frame for Wedding Invitations
A spray of cream and ivory roses with sage green leaves and small white blossoms climbs up the left edge of a face washed in pale green watercolour. A thin sage line frame with tiny heart ends runs around the panel, and a trailing eucalyptus sprig curls in the lower right corner. In the centre, Mr. and Mrs. James Mourice sits in a dark handwritten script above a sage ornament and a short placeholder line.
Centred Guest Name in a Heart Frame
The face is 220 x 110 mm, the DL size used across Europe and much of the world for invitations and A4 letters folded in three. The name sits in the middle, so this design works as a guest envelope or an inner envelope inside a plain mailing one.
Guest Name and the Placeholder Line
Type each guest’s name in place of Mr. and Mrs. James Mourice, checking the spelling of every surname. The line under the ornament is Lorem ipsum. Use it for a street address if you post the envelope, or for a short note such as With love from Sara and Tom if you hand deliver it.
Preparing the Wedding Envelope
- Type each guest name.
- Use the second line for an address or a note.
- Check every spelling.
- Add a return address on the back flap.
- Print one test first.
Inner and Outer Envelopes
Formal weddings often use two envelopes. This design suits the inner one, with just the names, while a plain outer envelope carries the postal address and stamp.
Addressing Couples and Families
For couples, use both names or titles. For families, add and Family after the parents’ names. Write children’s names on a second line if they are invited by name.
Matching the Invitation Suite
The cream roses and sage colour match many wedding invitations. Use the same flowers on the invitation, RSVP card and menu so the set looks planned.
Printing Watercolour Washes
The pale green wash covers the whole face. Print on white or ivory envelopes with the best quality setting, and expect a thin white margin on most home printers.
Hand Delivered Invitations
If you hand the invitations out, you can skip the address and stamp entirely. The name in script is then the only text, which looks especially elegant.
Sending the Wedding Envelopes
Post invitations six to eight weeks before the wedding.
