All You Need to Know About Our Folded Wedding Invitations

Folded Wedding Invitation Designs are available in 3 variations including classic, gate and concertina folded. They are available in different shapes and sizes and are usually square or oblong shaped.

Folded, Gate & Concertina Folded Invitations

As we mentioned above, there are 3 variations of folded invitations:

Classic Folded Invitations are your traditional folded card style.  They have a single crease and fold in half.  We usually make them so as they open out sideways, with the crease down the left-hand side but we can also make them so as the fold is across the top.  Inside you can either have a traditional folded paper insert or mounted, fixed cards.  Guest information can be printed on the left side of sideways-opening cards or the top of portrait-opening cards.

Concertina Folded Invitations fold out, in a concertina style.  They usually feature 5 panels – the cover, invitation, 2 x information panels and a perforated RSVP self-addressed postcard.  We can print directly onto the card or print individual cards and mount them separately to create extra layers and include different colours.  They’re usually A6 in size (when folded) but larger options and square designs are also available.

Gate Folded Invitations have 2 creases and open out from the centre, a bit like a gate.  The invitation is fixed inside the panel as you open it and we often print and fix a personalised ‘plaque’ to the outside of the invitation for added detail.  If you’d like to include some guest information we can print this on the inside of the side-panels for you.

Layering

Adding layers of card can help add weight and a quality feel to your invitations.  Extra layers can also help you to incorporate a colour scheme. You can ask us to use any colour combination and have as many layers as you like.  We stagger the size of each layer of card that creates a border effect.

Foiling

We can also help you with bespoke foiling work on your wedding stationery.  Foiling is a specialist print service that we can arrange for you.  Popular ideas include foiled initials, names, date and headings.  If you want all of your wording foiled then digital foiling might be a more cost effective solution for you.  Contact us with your ideas and we can advise you.

We can also arrange bespoke letterpress, embossing and de-bossing work for you.

Further Personalisation

All of our folded wedding invitations can be personalised to match your wedding theme.  All card, colours, wording, fonts and images are fully personalised for you.

Other embellishments such as ribbon, lace, bows, glitter, diamantes, pearls or buckles are also available.  We can also organise white-ink printing for you if you choose a dark coloured card.

As with all our invitations, we can customise any of our designs to suit your wedding theme and colour scheme.

Folded Wedding Invitation FAQs

Of course, we would love to speak to you about your ideas and vision for your wedding invitations. If you are considering folded wedding invites, here are some of the questions we are asked.

What are the main benefits of Folded wedding invites?

Folded wedding invitation designs have many benefits but the main one is how versatile they are.

Our range of folded invitations offer lots of opportunities and options for full personalisation.

Guest Information can easily be incorporated within all of our folded invitations including classic, gate and concertina designs.

Our folded wedding invitations can be made any shape or size you like.  The only limitation you have is the envelope or box sizes.

What size are our Folded wedding invitations?

We can make our folded invitations in any size you like – we just need to make sure we can source envelopes or boxes to fit.

Our most popular sizes are:

  • Square: 145 x 145mm
  • A6: 105 x 148mm
  • A5: 148 x 210mm
  • Large Oblong: 127 x 178mm (5×7″)

If you’d like a different shape or size please let us know as we are flexible and open to your ideas.

When should I order my Folded Wedding Invitations?

Wedding Invitations are traditionally sent out 12 weeks prior to your date – but it is not uncommon for invitations to be sent out 6 months prior, or even earlier if your wedding is abroad, or at a busy time of year.

If you have your own ideas, simply contact us to discuss your options or book a free 1 hour design consultation.

What is the average turnaround time for orders?

At ‘I Do designs’ we can usually process orders within 3-4 weeks. If you require your order faster, please get in touch and we will check our production schedule.

Some projects may take a little longer if there is a lot of design work involved.

Can you add guest information to Folded wedding invites?

Our folded wedding invitations offer a variety of way of including your guest information wording.

  • Classic Sideways opening Folded invitations – guest information can be printed onto the left-side of the paper insert for you.
  • Classic Portrait opening Folded invitations – guest information can be printed onto the top-half of the paper insert.
  • Gate Folded invitations – guest information can be printed onto the inside of the side-panels.
  • Concertina invitations – the panels are there especially for your guest information – you can have as many panels as you require.

If you have something different in mind please let us know as we are flexible and open to new ideas.
