Parts of a Wedding Invitation

by Ink Scribbler Team
Here's a quick guide on the parts on a wedding invitation. Not all should necessarily be added but some upgrades make it much more personal!
  1. Main Card - The centerpiece of the invitation, detailing the couple’s names, wedding date, time, and venue.
  2. Envelope - The outer covering that holds the invitation suite, typically featuring the couple’s names and return address, adding an elegant touch.
  3. RSVP Card - A card for guests to confirm their attendance, usually including options for meal choices and a space for additional comments.
  4. Entourage Card - Introduces the wedding party, showcasing their roles and relationships to the couple, adding a personal touch to the invitation suite.
  5. Details / Venue Card - Provides additional information about the venue, accommodations, and any other relevant details guests might need to know.
  6. Chinese Invitation Card - A special card featuring traditional wording and designs to honor cultural customs.
  7. Timeline and Gifts Info - Outlines the schedule of events for the wedding day and may include a note about gift preferences or registries.
  8. Pocketfold Jacket - A stylish folded card that holds all invitation components securely, providing a polished and organized presentation.
  9. Wrap - A decorative specialty paper that encircles the invitation suite, adding an extra layer of elegance and cohesiveness.
  10. Twine / Thread - A rustic touch, this simple string can be used to tie the suite together, enhancing the overall aesthetic with a charming detail.
  11. Wax Seal - A traditional element that adds a vintage flair, used to seal the envelope and often featuring a unique design or monogram.
  12. Custom Brass Stamp - A personalized stamp used for creating wax seals, featuring the couple's initials or wedding logo, adding a bespoke touch.
  13. Envelope Liner - A decorative paper lining inside the envelope, enhancing the visual impact and providing a pop of color or pattern.
  14. Blind Stamped Ink Scribbler Logo (we can have this removed if own design is provided) 
  15. Envelope Addressing - The printed or handwritten addresses on the envelope, ensuring guests receive their invitations with style and clarity.
  16. Wedding Logo - A unique design or monogram representing the couple, often used throughout the invitation suite for a cohesive brand.
  17. Printed Names on Envelope Flap - The couple’s names printed on the flap of the envelope, adding a personalized touch that delights recipients upon opening.

These are the common parts and terms that we use. Many of these upgrades are optional, and it is also not recommended to get ALL of them together.
