Minted offers free guest addressing and custom envelopes with wedding invitations

To use Minted's recipient address printing service, first select and personalise your card design. Then, you will be given the option to customise your envelope. You can upgrade to a coloured envelope or add envelope liners, and you will also see an option to add free recipient address printing. You can choose from a variety of stylings in different fonts and sizes, including themed imagery.

Next, upload your recipient addresses to Minted's online tool. You can input names and addresses one by one or upload a formatted spreadsheet with all the contacts. You can also ask Minted to send an email to each of your recipients requesting their home address.

Minted offers a variety of coloured envelopes, including Blush, Grey Mist, Cloud Blue, Aubergine, Spruce, Black, and Navy. You can also add skinnywrap labels, which combine patterned designs with your home address, and custom stamps to complete the look.

Minted provides guidance on correct wedding envelope addressing etiquette, including how to address single recipients, married couples, unmarried couples, and families.

Wedding invitation envelopes can be upgraded to a coloured envelope

When selecting your wedding invitation design, you will have the option to customise your envelope. You can choose from a variety of envelope colours and liners to enhance the overall presentation of your invitation suite. This allows you to create a cohesive and stylish look for your wedding stationery.

In addition to coloured envelopes, Minted also offers custom envelope addressing, return address printing, and matching stamps to complete the look. You can also add a unique touch with wax seals or belly bands.

When assembling your wedding invitations, it is important to follow the proper etiquette for addressing envelopes. The outer envelope should include the guest's name(s) and address, while the inner envelope (if used) typically includes the couple's title and last name.

By upgrading to coloured envelopes and utilising the customisation options offered by Minted, you can create elegant and personalised wedding invitations that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.

Envelope liners can be purchased separately and added to envelopes

Minted's envelope liners are slip-in style and come with a peel-and-seal adhesive strip for easy assembly. They measure 6.5 x 5.25 inches and cover the interior envelope flap, dropping about 3/4 of the way into the envelope. The liners will not reach the bottom of the envelope.

To assemble the envelope liners, first, remove the top layer of the pre-applied adhesive strip. Carefully slide the liner into the envelope, using the sides of the flap to centre it. Once lined up, firmly press the liner to adhere it to the envelope. Using the crease on the envelope flap as your guide, close the envelope and press the fold.

If you prefer, Minted also offers pre-lined invitation envelopes, which come with the liner already in place, so no assembly is required.

Inner envelopes are optional and are used to indicate the guests addressed by the invitation

Wedding invitations can include an inner and outer envelope, but the inner envelope is strictly optional. The outer envelope is what is stamped and addressed, while the inner envelope only has the names of the invitees and contains the invitation inside. Inner envelopes are more informal, giving you the option to leave out one or two elements of the formal name format of the outer envelope.

The inner envelope is used to indicate the guests addressed by the invitation. It is also used to make clear who else is invited, such as plus ones or children. For example, if you are inviting a family with young children, the outer envelope is reserved for the names of the parents or guardians. You should list each child by name on the inner envelope. If no inner envelope is used, children's names are written on the outer envelope below the names of their parents.

The inner envelope is also useful for protecting the outer envelope. In the past, when snail mail was the norm, envelopes would often arrive damaged. Although the postal system has modernised, envelopes can still get a little crumpled, torn, or bent.

Minted has seen a shift toward sustainability and simplicity through the use of just a single outer envelope. For this reason, only outer envelopes are included with all of their invitations.

Minted currently only offers outer envelopes

Minted offers different components and stationery to help you complete your wedding invitations. While there is no golden rule on what to include and what not to include, it is important to understand the different components available to decide how you want your wedding invitation to be.

The outer envelope is stamped and addressed, while the inner envelope contains the names of the invitees and the invitation itself. Inner envelopes are optional and are no longer needed due to the proper handling of the outer envelope by automated readers.
