Glider Invitations: The Basic Components

A9 Glider Backer Cards

Gliding backing cards measure 5 1/2" wide by 8 1/2" high. Select from a variety of colors and finishes that include smooth, metallic, and textured. Choose the backing card that conveys the mood of your event.

2. Choose Your Printable Invitation Insert

These 4 3/8" wide by 7 3/4" high invitation insert cards are available in ecru and radiant white, and will slide through the slots in the glider backing card. Select the insert card that compliments the color of your backing card.

Glider backer cards fit into invitation envelopes measuring 8 3/4" wide by 5 3/4" high (A9 size).

Choose from an extensive variety of colors, textures, and finishes to find the envelope you prefer. However, if it is important that your envelope matches your glider, you may consider choosing your envelope first.

Should double envelopes be used with pocket fold invitations?

In most instances double envelopes are used for traditional wedding invitation ensembles. Pocketfold wedding invitations are a more contemporary style invitation that would be better suited for a single outer mailing envelope.
