    So, I had a vendor on etsy do my wedding invitations...and I am loving them!

    The only thing is, I realized that they did not include any kind of inner envelopes with their quote, so we won't be getting any, and I would like a little something to keep all of the pieces together.

     I think the size of our envelopes are the larger standard size (about 5x8, I think, either an A7 or A9, can't remember right now).

     Does anyone know of any websites where I can get those cute folders to put everything in? Or even a place that would sell bands, or sheer paper to wrap these up in?

    Thanks!

    You could probably get paper at any paper store and then have it cut (or cut it yourself) into bands and wrap it around the invitation and secured it closed with some glue or a nice little sticker (a monogram sticker would be really cute!).

    We had pocketfold invitations and closed them by wrapping a wide piece of ribbon around the outside, gluing the ribbon ends together with fabric glue and then gluing a small square of paper stamped with our wedding themed stamp over the part where the ribbon joined. I thought it looked really nice :)

    Check out Miss Taffy's post just now-she had a neat ribbon to tie it all together (although she also had an inner envelope, you could just do the ribbon).

    Paper-Source has a really cut A9 gatefold inclosure that I am using instead of an inner envelope. There are slots for ribbion to hold the items in place.
