Unique Wedding Invitations

Shopping for your unique wedding invitations can include learning terminology related to their design, paper, printing, size, color, etc. Who knew there was so much to know beyond the wording and what enclosure pieces to include.

Here are the details for just some of the terms you may come across:

• Invitation Card – simply a flat card with no folds and the verse printed on the front.
• Embossing – creating a raised design by using a printing method that presses an image into the paper. The design can then be emphasized with colored ink. If no ink is used on the raised design, it is referred to as blind embossing. When the design appears as indented into the paper, this is called debossing.
• Foil Stamping - the special technique of hot stamping metallic colored foil onto paper.
• Deckle Edge – a unique, feathery edge on a piece of paper commonly seen on parchment wedding invitations.
