Trend: Boxed Wedding Invitations

January 25th, 2010

I always say that a wedding invitation sets the tone for your wedding – it’s the first thing your guests will see from your wedding, so I believe you should “wow” your invitees with them!  I’ve started drooling over boxed wedding invitations – not the sort where you get 100 in a box from Target, but the sort where every guest receives their invitation in a *box*.

To many it probably seems over the top, but it’s truly amazing what some people come up with. Of course, you still need to stay within your budget, but if you have a pretty big budget or a very small guest list, then consider this option!  Expect to pay at least $30 and up per invitation if you get them done professionally, and I would guesstimate that your DIY starting price would be around $8 – of course, the pricing would all depend on what you use to make your invitations!

This is a folio invitation presented in a silk box. I love how it incorporates a beautiful photo of the couple! (Found at Elizabeth Ann Designs, Photography by Love Letters)

These are Miss Gummi-Bear's invitations on WeddingBee. They're way cute with the Gocco'd Kraft Paper box.

This company design and print wedding invitations, and the bride then put them in boxes and tied them with ribbon.

When you are creating boxed invitations, the sky's almost the limit in the various 3D pieces you can include in your invitations. I love these with the orchids included.

Thai Silk Box supply Thai Silk invitation boxes and can also design your entire invitation.

These ones are created by Revelry Invitations. Note that if you're going to include embellishments on the outer box, you're going to have to have a special way of delivering your invitation to your guests!

Wrapping your invitation in a layer of beautiful tissue paper adds an additional touch of elegance.

I love how simple yet beautiful these ones are. And that box pattern? Love it!

What say you? Will you be delivering your invitations in a box?
