LCI Paper is now offering an expanding line of inner envelopes that can be purchased separately in 50 packs. In certain situations, a customer might want want to buy our lined or unlined inner envelopes on their own, instead of part of the standard double envelope set.

Let’s step back and look at the concept of double envelopes. In the article, Wedding Invitation Traditions Part 2 – Double Envelopes, Will Collins writes, “…the tradition of the double wedding envelope is in place for both practical and aesthetic reasons.”

An outer envelope protects the inner envelope and its contents throughout the postal handling and mailing processes. The formal names and addresses of your invited guests are printed on the outer envelope. The envelope also includes a stamp and eventually, a cancel mark from the post office. When your guests open their outer envelope, a beautiful and pristine inner envelope will be revealed that can include first names, additional family members, and anything else that is personalized. The inner envelope can be unlined or lined in a complimenting color and contains the invitation, response card, response envelope, etc. In essence, any damages or markings to the outer envelope that might have occurred in transit can now be forgotten, as your guest can throw away the outer and enjoy the pristine invitation housed safely within the personalized inner envelope.

For the customer who needs to order just the inner envelopes, LCI has begun to offer our Embassy inner envelopes separately from their matching outer envelopes. Available in 50 packs, these Embassy inner envelopes measures 5 1/8 x 6 7/8 inches. Keep in mind that inner envelope flaps have no gum seal. If you choose to use these as mailing envelopes, secure the flaps with adhesive or envelope seal. Soon, we’ll expand our inner envelope offerings to include all that we currently offer in double envelope sets.
