You probably thought that printing your wedding invitations was going to be the hard part. But I’ve got some not-so-great news: finding inexpensive + high-quality envelopes is no walk in the park, either. There are so many textures, colors and styles to choose from, if you’re not a pro you might get lost in all the different choices. So, if you’re wondering where to buy invitation envelopes, this post is for you.
I’ve tested just about every envelope on the block, and I’m here to break down my favorite envelope suppliers so you don’t have to do the leg work yourself.
