Once your guest list has been finalised, you have barely started your wedding invitation project as there are still lots of selections to make. An important decision that still needs to be determined is the choice of paper finish you will be using for your wedding Invitations.
Remember that your invite isn’t only about what you physically write in your wedding Invitations, but also the look and feel of the invitation. A popular paper finish that is commonly used for wedding Invitations is that of a linen paper finish. Linen finishes are uncoated with a coarse finish that resembles a fabric feel.
Types of finishes for wedding invitation paper
It all comes down to personal taste and the style you would like to portray when selecting finishes for your wedding Invitations. There are an abundance of options and combinations to consider which will mainly include the following finishes:
- Uncoated. Uncoated finishes use more ink and might not look as sharp as a gloss finish. Ink is printed directly onto the paper and not on a clear layer on top of the paper.
- Matte. A textured finish that refracts light so that the surface doesn’t appear to be shiny.
- Glossy. A flat laminated surface that is shiny and sleek which in turn helps the colours stand out more.
- Silk laminate. Characteristics of silk laminate include durability – ideal if you are sending you wedding Invitations well in advance.
