Your wedding day is a very special day. The smallest decisions can make the day even more memorable.
Unfortunately, many people don’t know about the many options they have for the different types of papers for custom wedding invitations. Here is a list of the different types, and what they should feel/look like.
Jacquard
If you want something simple, but still eloquent, jacquard paper may be right for you. You can screen print this paper to have a layered or crotchet look that is very popular.
Glassine
Glassine is thin and waxy. Most people choose this paper to be an envelope because of its shiny surface.
Linen Finish
This is a fan favorite. It has a grainy surface that makes for a unique texture.
Marbled paper
This is a very decorative paper with swirls that truly resemble a marble texture. People love this paper because of its beauty.
Parchment paper
Parchment is the type of paper from the ink and quill days. It has a cloudy look, but an airy feel. This paper is perfect for traditional weddings.
Vellum
Vellum is a nice paper that is made from cotton. It has a smooth finish with a translucent and frosty look.
Matte
Matte has a non-reflective surface. People love this paper because of its versatility.
Mylar
This is another type of paper that is often used for invitations. It looks like a type of foil paper, having a shiny and metallic appearance.
Industrial papers
If you prefer something non-traditional, you can opt for handmade papers that are made from various fibers, cotton and hemp. Handmade papers typically have a rougher surface.
