Knowing More Terms for Unique Wedding Invitations
Shopping for your unique wedding invitations can include learning terminology related to their design, paper, printing, size, color, etc. Who knew there was so much to know beyond the wording and what enclosure pieces to include.
Here are the details for just some of the terms you may come across:
- Invitation Card – Simply a flat card with no folds and the verse printed on the front.
- Embossing – A printing process that creates a design on the invitation paper by impressing an image so it appears raised. Colored ink can then highlight the design. A raised design with the absence of any ink is called blind embossing. Debossing is created by actually indenting the design into the paper.
