I adore boxed invites…..of course I am biased, since we sent out boxed invites for our own 2007 wedding.   I think if it’s in your budget to do, they can really create a WOW factor for your guests, and get them excited about what’s to come!!

My own labor our love, our semi-DIY boxed invites (design by Prim and Pixie, thermography by Inkspot Thermography, assembly and embellishment by yours truly!) photographed by the ever-amazing Evoke Photography!  We filled the boxes, from PaperMart, with coral crinkle paper before placing the rhinestone-buckled pocketfolds in them and sealing them shut with a green belly band created from some Avery label sheets.

One of my craftiest brides, Ashley, has been blogged by AHS Photography for her gorgeous invites below, and for good reason!!  She filled the box with little orange candies before placing her beautifully gocco’d invites into them, and then finishing them off with some twine and an adorable tag.  Ashley and her husband Jeff decided these beauties were too precious to send via USPS, so they hand delivered each one personally!!

Perfect for a beach wedding:

I love the detail of the delicate flower placed on top of these:

Definitely setting the tone for a glam wedding:

A simpler version, with no additional embellishment, letting the invite and the box speak for themselves:
