This way, you can take the paper to a location that offers printer services, and can have your initials included on the stationery and envelopes.
Thin paper is usually used to separate the wedding invitation when it is in the envelope, and adds a classy feel when guests are opening the invitation. The paper is usually white in color, but you can arrange to have the paper in the color of your invitations if you’ve chosen other shades as well. You may also want to put the wedding invitation inside of the main invitation to separate the dinner place cards or directions to the reception.
