How do envelope liners work?

Envelope liners are decorative pieces of paper that fit snugly inside your invitation envelope. Often overlooked, they offer more than just an extra layer of protection for your precious invitations. They're a design element waiting to be explored! This multifunctional detail is both a treat for the eyes and protects your precious wedding paper details while they make their way to your guests in the mail.

Adding envelope liners into your invitation design

The beauty of envelope liners lies in their versatility. Here's how to include liners into your suite, and how they elevate your wedding invitations:

A Pop of Color: Does your invitation suite feel a touch monochromatic? Inject a burst of vibrancy with a brightly colored liner. Imagine a soft lavender liner peeking out from a crisp white envelope or a touch of gold adding a touch of luxury. My personal favorite is adding a more artistic touch with beautiful artwork.

Pattern Play: Embrace your playful side with patterned liners. Floral envelope liners and geometric designs can add a touch of personality. Coordinate the pattern with your wedding theme or use it as a unique surprise.

Monogram Magic: For a classic touch, have your wedding monogram printed on the liner. It's a subtle yet elegant way to personalize your invitation suite.

Themed Delights: Planning a romantic wedding? A liner featuring your venue as a castle silhouette would be enchanting! Having a destination wedding? Opt for a map liner showcasing your chosen location to add a touch of whimsy.


There are endless possibilities with envelope liners, and to help you choose the best option we curate our best picks for your invitation design! And we’ll mock-up how your liner will look so it’s easy to visualise and see the design come to life.

The perfect finishing touch for your wedding envelopes

Envelope liners are the finishing flourish for your wedding envelopes. They create a sense of anticipation and delight as your guests open the envelope, revealing a hidden treasure.
