New Zealand Envelopes

envelopes new zealand

First impressions count! As you can see, there are a wide range of colours and sizes of envelopes, so I'm sure we'll be able to find something to suit your wedding. The manufacturer of our envelopes use local New Zealand papers and products.

As well as standard colours we offer metallic envelopes, which add a beautiful touch to the invitation package. These have a nice soft powder-glitter finish and are made from high quality paper at around 120 gsm.

If you require a quote for envelopes with your wedding invitation quote please note this on the form when contacting us. If you need just envelopes to suit existing invitations you already have that's absolutely fine too - please get in touch for a quote.

Butterfly Envelopes

Custom Wedding Invitation Envelopes

We can also do custom wedding invitations like the ones shown below - custom shapes and colours. Note that these are handmade to order and can be quite time consuming to make when the design involves pockets. We can either make the envelopes up for you, else we can supply a template so that you can create your own envelopes - ask the bridesmaids around to help you and make a day of it!

custom wedding envelopes

Above: the venue for this wedding was an orange orchard in the Hawkes Bay, New Zealand and so the invitations were orange coloured to represent this, and the envelopes were a metallic copper card to compliment this. They were lined with a gorgeous hand made paper stock that had a matching copper vine/leaf pattern on it. There were 2 pockets on the left hand side to house the map and rsvp card, and the invitation was held in with a pocket at the bottom of the envelope. The envelope tied closed with black organza ribbon. The cost for these envelopes is around $12-18 per envelope depending on the number of pockets, envelope colour, use of handmade paper etc. A nice alternative to this type of envelope is a gate fold invitation which has a similar shape (see this wedding invitation to view the size and shape of a gate fold wedding invite).

Above: This design has a pocket holding the invitation, info card and RSVP card together in one package. Depending on the size of the envelopes, the type of paper required to make these etc, the cost for these is around $8-10 per envelope. If you prefer, I can provide a template for you to make the envelopes up yourself to suit your wedding invitations. This can be provided with or without paper to make them out of.
