colored envelopes for invitations

You can really make your invitations stand out with colored envelopes. Pick an envelope that matches your favorite design, or ask for your design colors to match your envelope – your choice.

If your envelope choice is dark, we can include a white gel pen with your order so that when you write names and addresses on your envelopes they show up real nice.

Does The Post Office Like Colored Envelopes?

I used to think that if you used a dark colored envelope you had to put a white address label on it, then write the address in dark ink. But after calling the Post Office I learned that as long as the address is readable you can write it in any color. If you asked me this question in the past and I gave you the wrong answer, I apologize.

P.S. Match the color of the design or ask us to match the invitation design to your favorite envelope color (no extra charge for color matching at Poly Graphics)

There are three different kinds of flaps on envelopes.

Business, Pointed and Square. Pointed and Square are also known as  “Baronial” and “A”

Envelopes are described by their size and flap.

For example, if you wanted to buy pointed flap envelopes for 5″ by 7″ invitations, you would request an “7 BAR” envelope.

If you wanted a square flap envelope instead, ask for an  “A-7″ envelope.

Poly Graphics uses a 7 BAR envelope for most orders. We also have an upgrade to an  A-7 lined envelope, with linings available in Gold, Silver, and Red.
