Invitation boxes

Invitation boxes hold printed invitations, save-the-dates, and keepsake inserts in a rigid or folding box instead of a flat envelope. Couples, event planners, and brands use them when the invitation itself should feel like a gift. Each box is made to your size with no minimum order, so you can order for a guest list of ten or a launch of a thousand, and TBPB beats any written quote for the same specs. Start with wedding invitation boxes or the slimmer wedding card boxes. Send dimensions and a quantity, even one, and you get a dieline and a quote.

Choosing between the two invitation formats

The two products here solve different problems. Wedding invitation boxes are deeper and hold a stack: the invitation, RSVP card, details card, maybe a ribbon or a small keepsake. Wedding card boxes are shallow and suit a single card or a short suite.

Pick by counting the pieces and measuring the stack with all of them squeezed together. Add the thickness of any envelopes, since people forget them. A box that closes with a bow on a stack that is slightly too tall will bulge and never lie flat.

Materials and finishing that apply

Invitation boxes are usually made from rigid or heavy folding board, because the unboxing is the point. Matte or soft-touch coating gives a quiet, premium surface that shows foil well. Foil stamping on the couple initials or event name is the most common upgrade, and it works best on a smooth, dark or solid-colored surface.

Linings matter more than people expect. A printed or colored paper liner makes the inside feel finished, and a tray or insert holds loose cards in place during mailing. If the box will travel by post, ask about an outer carton too, because a rigid box with foil will scuff if posted bare.

When another category is better

If the invitations are going out to a large list and each needs to survive the mail, an invitation box on its own is usually the wrong choice. A mailer box protects the contents in transit, and you can print the invitation theme on it. For invitations that come with a small gift, a sleeve box offers a slide-open reveal.

Ordering invitation boxes

Send the stack dimensions, the quantity, and your artwork or color direction. One box is a valid order, which is useful for a sample before the full guest list. We return a dieline and a quote, and any written quote for the same specs gets beaten.

Questions buyers ask about invitation boxes

What is the minimum order for invitation boxes

There is no minimum order. Order one box as a sample or as many as your guest list needs. Each box is made to your measurements.

What size should an invitation box be

Measure the full stack of invitation, inserts, and envelopes pressed together, then add a few millimeters of clearance on each side and for depth. A tight, even fit looks more deliberate than a loose one.

Can I add foil or embossing to an invitation box

Yes. Foil stamping, embossing, and spot UV are all used on invitation boxes. Foil works best on solid or dark surfaces and on a small area like initials, where it reads clearly.

Are invitation boxes safe to mail

A rigid invitation box can be posted, but foil and soft-touch surfaces scuff in transit. Putting the box inside a mailer or shipping carton is the safer route when the list is large.

Can the box hold more than a card

Yes. Many orders include a ribbon, a small favor, or a folded program. Tell us what goes in, with its dimensions, and we will build the interior depth and any insert around it.

How far ahead should I design the box

Settle your guest count and the invitation suite first, because the box depends on the stack size. Once you send dimensions and quantity, we can return a dieline for approval.
