vellum

 

Vellum is a translucent paper that adds a soft, frosted layer to your wedding invitation suite. It lets the colors and artwork underneath show through, giving guests a glimpse of the design before they see it in full. At Violet Invitations, we use vellum in two ways, depending on how you want your suite to look and open.

​

Vellum wraps fold around your invitation, RSVP card and details inserts, keeping the suite neatly together. Clear vellum lets a bold floral design or rich paper color peek through, while printed vellum can introduce a delicate pattern, custom monogram or gold foil detail. Finish the wrap with a satin ribbon, a coordinating belly band or a wax seal for a luxurious, gift-like presentation.

 

Vellum overlays rest over the face of your invitation, creating a layered effect without wrapping around the suite. A simple overlay softens the artwork beneath, while one printed with your names, a botanical illustration or a venue sketch becomes part of the design. Lifting the vellum reveals the full detail of the invitation underneath.
