A lot of people now skip the entire inner envelope concept when sending out invitations, which I think is fine- it saves trees, saves money, is less formal, etc. However, the nice thing about an inner envelope is that you usually write out the first name or even “pet name” of the person you are addressing. It adds such a personal touch. I think a really great way to combine the two would be to do something similar to the photo above- just add a good dose of familiarity and playfulness to the outer envelope by using just the first names! I think it would be perfect for an informal, whimsical event. Don't you? I hope someone takes me up on this idea soon for their invitations!

I absolutely love this idea! I am actually getting married this summer and I may just have to play around and see if we can’t come up with something fabulous like this.
We did first names on envelopes for our save the dates, and our friends loved it, but our families were miffed!

About Me: Ever since I was a little girl, my passion has been creating beauty; doing exactly that for a career is a perfect fit! When I’m not working, I enjoy hanging out with my husband, traveling, gardening, cooking up a storm, reading voraciously, watching old movies, listening to music/going to concerts, learning the bass guitar, quilting, and basically doing anything that involves creating something with my hands.
Love these!
I need to practice….probably A LOT to get them to look like that!
