Description of invitation Terms
Blind Embossing for wedding
invitations
Blind embossing is a printing method
where an image is pressed into paper
resulting in a raised design. The
embossing is termed “blind” because the
design is formed without ink or foil. (Debossing
is an image stamped onto paper or a
napkin without ink or foil; it appears
“indented.”)
Bright White wedding invitations
This shade is the ultimate in white,
very crisp, pure and bright!
Card / wedding invitations
Invitation cards do not fold, your
wording is printed on the front.
Deckle Edge wedding invitations
An uneven, feathery edge on a piece of
paper is called a deckle edge. This edge
is most commonly found on parchment
invitations; however, other papers may
also have deckle edges and will be noted
in descriptions.
Die-Cutting of wedding invitations
The process of using sharp metal rules
to cut shapes and designs into paper.
Die-cutting includes cutout shapes and
sculpted edges.
Double Envelopes for wedding
invitations
The traditional set of two envelopes is
used with formal invitations and
announcements. The outer envelope is
addressed to the guest and may have your
(the sender’s) address printed on the
back flap. The inner envelope, with the
invitation and enclosures is enclosed
inside the outer envelope. The inner
envelope carries only the guests’ names.
The inner envelope is available with a
coordinating liner; it is not gummed and
is not sealed.
Ecru wedding invitations
This color is a warm creamy beige.
Embossing of wedding invitations
Embossing is like blind embossing above,
only this type of printing uses ink or
foil on the raised area to add drama and
dimension.
Foil Stamping for wedding invitations
This effect is achieved when colored
foil is hot-stamped onto paper (perhaps
a Christmas card) or accessory items,
such as napkins.
Folder
Invitation folders are folded once,
either to create a top or side fold.
Your wording is printed on the front.
French-Fold wedding invitations
A sheet of paper folded twice to create
a four-paneled invitation is considered
French-folded. This fold is most common
with parchment invitations.
wedding invitations and Layers
This term indicates layers of paper tied
or glued together. If the top layer is
translucent and the lower is decorative
paper, you’ll see a muted version of the
lower layer through the translucent top.
Liners for wedding invitations
This term refers to the decorative paper
used to line the inside of an inner
envelope or a single envelope.
Panel wedding invitations
A panel is the center section of your
invitation “framed” by a raised area of
paper. It also refers to pages facing
each other. For example, a tri-fold
invitation when opened fully, has a
left, middle and right panel.
Parchment wedding invitations
This translucent paper is made to look
like original parchment. This
distinctive paper adds a softening
effect to any invitation.
Pearlize of wedding invitations
The process that applies a luminous
pearl-like finish to part of an
invitation, usually to an embossed
design, is called pearlizing.
Short-Fold wedding invitations
A short-fold is created when a sheet of
paper is folded once, not exactly in
half, forming an invitation with a short
front panel and longer back panel.
Thermography on wedding invitations ,
raised printing
This type of printing is created by
adding a resin powder to wet ink, which
when heated, creates a raised surface.
Tri-Fold wedding invitations
A tri-fold is created when a sheet of
paper is folded twice to form a
three-paneled invitation. Both outside
panels are folded inward to cover the
center panel.
Vellum wedding invitations
Vellum is a paper with a rich, smooth
finish paper.
White wedding invitations
This shade is a soft white, like wedding
gowns. It is a delicate hue.
Z-Fold wedding invitations
A z-fold is created when a sheet of
paper is folded twice in accordion
fashion to form a three-paneled
invitation.
