...Wrap-Around Labels...

The first time I saw the wrap around envelope label, I was in love. The simplicity of the design, the ease of customizability, and the sheer genius of it all was almost too much to handle.
This picture, found at snippet & ink, has to be one of my all time favorite examples of the wrap around envelope label. I love the bold colors, the creative stamps and of course the pretty writing.!

You can find a free wrap-around label template here or purchase pre-made labels here {shortly}.

...Stripes, Dots, & a Wrap-Around Label...

This suite has it all. Stripes, polka dots and a wrap around label. Who wouldn't be in love!?
Wrap around labels are such time savers that are so easy to use! Rest assured, they always look great wrapped around the envelopes. Always.
One of the things that I love most about this suite would be the different patterns that are used, throughout the suite, which create depth and texture to the paper.
I've never paid too much attention to the rsvp cards before, but this one caught my eye. Instead of demanding that they respond and come to a day that is essentially all about you, this card lets the guests know that you are looking forward to being with them. That struck a cord with me. I'm a fan.
Just a little peek at the invitation itself.
The entire suite was banded together with a transparent patterned wrap.
I told you that this invitation suite had it all! For more lovely invitation suites check out seamless paperie where all of the invitations are pretty to look at! seamless paperie can be reached at seamlesspaperie {at} gmail {dot} com.

...Simple Song Designs...

One of our beautiful clients, Severine , is using wrap-around labels on the envelopes of her invitations and thank you cards. We here at Penned & Pretty are a little obsessed with the wrap-around labels {we posted about them here before} and cannot wait to get our hands on Severine's!



These little gems were found through etsy seller Simple Song Designs. You can visit her store here to purchase them if you're not as crafty as Martha Stewart. Your envelope will thank you.

...Nautical Blue & Red Bachelorette Party Invitations...

When it came time to dream up the invitations for the bachelorette party that I am hosting for my best friend Debbie, I turned to Chelsey of 4th & folded. She was the brains behind turning inspiration into reality in terms of the gorgeous invitations sent out for the "Something Blue" shower that I hosted for Debbie in March. The inspiration for the bachelorette party invitation was the love the Bride and I both share for all things nautical {stemming from our days in Delta Gamma!}.

Chelsey went to town and created the most lovely invitations, beyond anything that I could have ever imagined. The wording we decided upon was, "Debbie is dropping her anchor & tying the knot. Please join us for one final girls night out before Debbie is officially tied down!" Lodging information followed along with requests that guests arrive at 5pm and that nautical attire was preferred {think reds, blues, golds and short little dresses!}. Lastly, the invitation instructed guests to RSVP to me, "the Skipper", and provided my cell phone number. Above: A red laser cut anchor was affixed to the invitation with blue and white bakers twine. It stole the show. Below: Even the back of the invitation was attention-getting as it was coated with red and white diagonal stripes!
I loved the bright bold blue hue of the envelopes that Chelsey sent. I chose to adorn them with the "celebrate" postage stamp and loved the extra pops of color it provided to the envelope.
I know that you're all going to shake your heads at me since, after all, I am a "calligrapher," but I used this fun wrap around label template {shoot me an e-mail if you would like me to e-mail it to you!} for the addresses of the guests. I just couldn't help it! Wrap-around labels are just so adorable and this was the perfect occasion for me to use them. Plus, my hand and fingers needed a little break from calligraphy! I did make a newbie mistake that I thought that I would share. I used a glue stick to adhere the labels to the envelopes and I should have used real glue. Most of the envelopes didn't make it to their destinations and, if they did, the labels were falling off or crumpled. How sad.






I was and still am in love with these little nautical invitations. A huge thanks to Chelsey of 4th & folded for bringing them to life! Please excuse the poor quality of the pictures, taken by yours truly. Please credit both penned & pretty and 4th & folded when reposting any images!

...Library Card...

Listen, we saw these and they took us back to the days of the card catalogue and being curled up in the comfy chair at the library with the newest Boxcar Children book {or Babysitters Club, whatev}. Anyways, we were smitten. Here's a look at the suite:
The invitation mimics a vintage library due date card with a typewriter font that is too adorable to take your eyes off of.
The RSVP card takes the form of a "Library Card Application" form that your guests would be delighted to fill out.
From the designer: The couple's wedding reception was to be held at the Newberry Library library in Chicago, Illinois. These invitations were designed to look like vintage library material. A due date card, library application and card catalogue cards {see the reception card, below} were used as the inspiration for each piece. The entire package was placed in a navy blue pocket that resembles a pocket inside a library book. And you know that we love wrap around labels, so we had to end with a picture of the lovely envelope and the darling wrap around label.

...Parcel Post...

In both this and this post, we featured some beautiful wrap-around labels, which we have and always will love. But the blog of brooklyn bride led us to parcel post where we laid eyes on the following:
Oh. My. Gawd. Plenty of space for calligraphy on the front and a darling label/seal/sticker holding down the envelope flap on the back. Cover the sticker with your monogram, your return address or something clever. Smitten doesn't even begin to describe our feelings towards this little gem.

...A Fresh Green & Pink Wedding Invitation...

It never fails that one of the weddings that I attend each summer has the classic green & pink color scheme. I personally think that it's the most popular wedding color scheme and for good reason - pink and green always look good together!I love seeing an invitation that isn't printed onto white paper. Why not spice things up and print on colored card stock with white ink for a fresh look!?
Further, there isn't anything that I love more than an outer envelope that is any color other than white. Make your wedding invitation envelope stand out in your guests mailbox/stack of mail by using a colored envelope! White, silver or gold ink or a plethora of wrap around labels will allow you to address even the darkest of envelopes!
I am a sucker for a chic envelope liner and this one, adorned with blossoms, is quite adorable!
All additional and pertinent information was printed on this pink tri-fold.
I am loving this little tag that's threaded thru the brown string/ribbon that holds the invitation and RSVP pieces together!
The Love: King & Queen of Hearts Stamps are quite popular in 2010!

...Olive & Neutral Invitations...

Spring and fall weddings best lend themselves to the use of neutral and natural colors. This wedding invitation suite from Avie Designs would be the perfect compliment to such a color scheme.
It all starts with a simplistic, yet adorable, save the date {above}. The invitation itself {below} features olive waves and traditional fonts. The chocolate invitation envelope boasts a wrap-around label which always gives your envelopes a polished look.
The RSVP card stands out from the rest of the suite with its pop of color.
The entire suite is below. The word gorgeous comes to mind.
You can see the complete listing here at the avie designs etsy shop.

...Elephants and Giraffes...

The fabulous lisa welge is both a wedding photographer and a wedding invitation designer {be still my heart!}. So, I just knew that her invitations would be over the top lovely and that she would have great pictures of them for me to share! Lisa wanted to reflect a carnival/circus/county fair/summer barbeque theme in her invitations. I think the result achieved that feel and then some!The fonts, the fonts, the fonts!!!! Hip hip hooray for throwing the typical script fonts out the window!
The colors, the elephant {and the giraffe!}, the wrap around label and the clever fonts make this invitation suite picture perfect.
Ok, ok, I couldn't help it. I just had to show you the cake toppers from this wedding which were crafted by Hilary of Bunny with a Toolbelt. Check out her Etsy shop here,
p.s. you must check out the rest of the details from this wedding here!

...Severine...

Here at penned & pretty we frequently blog about our love of wrap around labels. We heart them. So when Severine told us that she was sending some our way to address for her, we were thrilled!
In case you were wondering, Severine made these little labels herself. They look awesome. We just made them a little prettier by addressing them and making sure they weren't blank!
In case you were wondering, Severine is from Switzerland, so our pens were able to experience a little taste of a foreign language. They liked it.
Thank you, Severine for sending your labels all the way over to us in the USA. We thoroughly enjoyed addressing them for you!

...Severine...

Remember these lovely wrap around labels we addressed for Severine? Well, she was kind enough to send us some pictures of the finished product that we helped to create. Have a look! We're quite proud of our work and we l.o.v.e the finished result! By the way, we're pretty sure her guests will too!
