Black Envelopes

A black envelope is a dark-coloured paper envelope used when a more striking or distinctive presentation is preferred over a traditional white or brown envelope. Black can be chosen for wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, events, and premium correspondence. Available in different sizes and finishes, this makes them suitable for a wide range of cards, inserts, and documents.

Why Choose Black Envelopes?

A black envelope can make a bold statement. Its powerful hue immediately commands attention and makes the receiver curious about what’s inside. This makes a black envelope the perfect choice for anyone looking to send eye-catching mail, whether that be in the form of an elegant wedding invitation, standout business mail, or a chic greeting card. Whatever the contents, a black envelope is sure to deliver.

Black Envelopes FAQs

Yes, absolutely, black envelopes can be sent through the post. Simply ensure the delivery address is clearly visible against the dark background. For the best readability, consider using a white address label with black writing, particularly when sending invitations or important correspondence.

White, silver, gold, and other light or metallic-coloured pens are popular choices for writing on black envelopes because they create a strong contrast against the dark paper. Gel pens, paint pens, and suitable metallic markers can all work really well, depending on the finish you want to achieve.

Tip: It’s worth testing your chosen pen on a spare envelope first to check that the ink dries clearly without smudging.

Black envelopes can be an excellent choice for wedding invitations, particularly for couples looking for a modern, elegant, or more dramatic stationery style. They work well with a white, ivory, gold, or silver theme, and can also be used for save-the-dates, RSVP cards, and other wedding stationery - the choice is yours!
