Specialty Paper Square Envelopes Gets Your Mail Opened

Can you remember the last time you picked up your mail and saw a square envelope among the regular rectangular envelopes? Chances are, you’ve received very few pieces of square mail. A square invitation is special and cuts through the clutter of junk mail and bills, but also requires additional postage. So most of us use standard sized envelopes and save those beautiful, striking, square envelopes for those rare and most important of occasions.

When budgeting for that special event that you’ve decided on square invitations, we recommend taking one finished invitation to your local post office so that when you are ready to mail the whole lot, you won’t be surprised at the additional postage. Earlier this year, when I sent invitations out for my parents’ 50th anniversary event, the postage for each square invitation was 61 cents. It wasn’t a large expense, but I was glad to know the cost in advance.

LCI Paper carries a wide variety of square envelopes from classic lined wedding envelopes to metallic envelopes in a wonderful array of colors. We also have translucent vellum envelopes in six cool colors and even petal fold pochette envelopes.

So if you’re planning a special event and you want your invitations to stand out, consider a square envelope and design your invitation from there.
