Invitations are one of the first key tasks on your wedding planning checklist, and as you start to think about sending out wedding stationery, you’ll also be thinking about the overall theme and aesthetic of your big day. While invitations offer up the most important details for guests to know about your wedding, they also set the tone and nod to the aesthetic of both your ceremony and your reception. If you’re searching for something unique, a boxed wedding invitation may be the perfect fit.
Invitations range in style, shape, size, and price point. Boxed invitations swap envelopes for boxed enclosures, creating an invitation suite that’s larger and often more intricate. Depending on the box size, they may hold just the wedding stationery or include other small gifts for guests to get the celebration started. Plus, they offer an extra level of protection to make sure your invitations arrive in tip-top shape.
Below, find 25 stunning wedding invitation boxes in a variety of styles to inspire your own design.
