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.

We offer double invitation envelopes for many invitation sizes sizes. For the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 invitation card we do not offer the standard inner and outer envelope combination, however for many of our customers we have a good substitution. For the inner envelope we suggest our A9 Envelopes which measure 5 3/4 x 8 3/4 and is available either unlined or lined.

A9 Envelopes Unlined or A9 Lined Envelopes. Offered in 7 liner colors!

For the outer envelopes we offer an A10 Envelope that measures 6 x 9 1/2

Yes, all of our response cards are standard size, measuring 3 1/2 x 4 7/8 inches and will fit inside your invitation envelopes. See our response cards.

Are the A2 Cards suitable as postcards?

Yes, all our A2 Cards are suitable as postcards. A2 cards are actually an 8 1/2 x 11 card that is cut into quarters. LCI offers the A2 cards cut to size and also the 8 1/2 x 11 card stock. You may want to consider the 8 1/2 x 11 if you have many post cards to print. Doing so would allow you to print 4 to a sheet then cut afterwords. It's a good way to save time! And, usually more economical to purchase the larger sheet. Before preparing a mailing we suggest contacting your local post office to make certain that your collateral is within postal regulations.

Our A4 Response Cards are delivered at actual size.  Flat, non folding response cards are 3 1/2 x 4 7/8. Folder response cards measure 4 7/8 x 7 open and are scored to fold to 3 1/2 x 4 7/8. These cards are smaller than the typical 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, therefore, the set up time needed to print out your cards using off the shelf printing software and your home printer is somewhat more involved. However with a little instruction both these sizes can easily be printed using Microsoft Word or any of our Invitation Printing software. Below please find links to help with this process.
