What is the difference between a Card Invitation and a Foldover Invitation?
|
| |
There are two different styles of Invitations at Giftsin24.com to choose from.
Card Invitations are single, flat
pieces of 18 point card stock. The Card Invitations can not be folded because they are
approximately the thickness of a credit card.
Foldover Invitations arrive
as a flat piece of paper, but each Foldover contains a
score, which
allows the Foldover Invitations to be folded in half. The Foldover Invitation is produced on
7.2 point paper, approximately the thickness of two sheets of notebook paper placed together.

What is the difference between an Inner and Outer Invitation Envelope?
|
| |
The Inner and Outer Envelopes are very important and perform crucial roles when sending
an invitation. The Inner Envelope
will contain the invitation and accessories. Usually the
Inner Envelope is lined with a decorative lining. The
Outer Envelope will encompass the
Inner Envelope and all of its contents. The Outer Envelope will have the mailing address and
postage.
The most important thing to note in the difference between Inner and Outer Envelopes is the
fact that only the Outer Envelope contains envelope gum for sealing. The Inner Envelope is
decorative, the Outer Envelope serves as the functional piece.
