What is in a Wedding Invitation Suite?
Congratulations on your engagement! As you begin planning your dream wedding, one of the most exciting details is choosing your wedding invitations. But if you’re new to wedding planning, you might be wondering: What exactly is a wedding invitation suite?
Your wedding invitation suite is more than just the main invitation—it’s a curated collection of stationery pieces that provide guests with all the important details for your big day. Here’s a breakdown of what’s typically included:
Here are the components of a suite:
1- The Invitation Card
This is the star of your suite! Your wedding invitation formally announces your wedding and includes essential details such as:
- Your names
- Wedding date & time
- Ceremony location
- Dress code (if applicable)
2- Reception Card
An insert that includes information about your reception celebration if at different location than your ceremony.
- Reception location (if different from the ceremony)
- Indicates info about cocktail hour/dinner
- Dress Code (if applicable)
- Any special requirements or details
3- RSVP Card
An RSVP (Répondez S’il Vous Plaît) card allows guests to respond to your invitation. Traditionally there is an envelope addressed to the host with postage so guests can easily respond. Modern styles forgo the envelope and instead include a qr code or wedding website for a digital RSVP.
- It typically includes:
- A reply-by date
- Meal options (if applicable)
- Space for guests to accept or decline
4- Details Card
This optional insert provides additional information, such as:
- Hotel accommodations
- Transportation details
- Wedding website link
A details card helps keep your main invitation simple while ensuring guests have all the information they need.
4. Inner & Outer Envelopes
It is traditional to include two envelopes, as the outer gets marked from postage equipment, the inner envelope remains pristine:
💌 Outer envelope – Protects your invitation in the mail and features the guest’s address.
💌 Inner envelope – Holds all the suite pieces and displays the guests’ names formally.
Why we love double envelopes- mailing dark colored envelopes are a USPS no-no- reverse printing is not allowed. Instead have a white/off-white outer envelope and the inner envelope in a color of your choice matching your wedding aesthetic.
5. Envelope Liners & Embellishments (Optional but Stunning!)
Want to add extra luxury to your suite? Consider:
✨ Envelope liners – Decorative paper inside the envelope for an elegant touch.
✨ Wax seals – A timeless detail that elevates your invitation.
✨ Ribbon or vellum wraps – Adds texture and sophistication.
✨ Gold foil or letterpress printing – For a high-end, luxurious feel.
A well designed wedding invitation suite should be both informative and beautiful, something that truly reflects you and your partner. Whether you prefer classic and formal or modern and elegant, selecting the right elements ensures a seamless experience for your guests.
