Best party invitations according to redditors

Here they are.

You are all welcome.

I blame you for the fact that now I own a wax seal kit.... For anyone else interested I just got these that fit in my mini glue stick and this seal.

I found them on Aliexpress but ordered them through amazon because who wants to wait for shipping when you can prime. I added a vellum cut out instead of printing on the z-fold card and the detail card when through the printer super easy.

A Shrek-tacular Party!

FWIW I went with a very similar look from amazon (linked here

They looked great and ended up being a little less than $2 each, although not sure what it costs to ship to Canada

The pockets were the only expensive part :) that was the piece I didn’t create.

I purchased them on amazon, $18 for 24 pockets

Not exact but getting closer. The fuzzy style is called "flocked," which might make it easier to track down.

I'm using these - cute, classy and they don't break the bank! https://www.amazon.com/Floral-Watercolor-Bridal-Invitations-Envelopes/dp/B06Y6N6P6C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1517864159&sr=8-3&keywords=bridal+shower+invitations

But you may want to check with your local brewing supply store, it supports them and if you ask they might price match with Amazon.

I personally don't have experience in this but am definitely looking at this for future bottling, I have seen a couple youtube videos on it, they basically show you they throw the beads in a can and float the can in boiling water until the wax melts then dip the corked bottle in and that's pretty much it, seems pretty simple just watching it :P


If your dad has a symbol he likes to use you might be able to look into a customized stamp to seal the wax:

That stamp was just a quick link on amazon, you can do a search and find much more if you want. I believe you can order a set and then email the vendor with the design afterwards, just read the reviews and responses to questions to be sure.


I don't think the waxing will affect the cork at all as long as you don't dip the bottle in the hot wax for too long but imo it is sealing the cork even if it did weaken it a bit. From the little bit I've seen on videos you have a higher chance of messing up the cork if you steam it too long before corking, makes it brittle and uncorking can become a problem later. But I'm sure your dad already knows this.

When I was a child, I had a collection of Christmas tree ornaments with (usually) the classic brown version on each one.

Looks like they raised the price by 2 dollars but this is what I got. I searched Wedding Invitation Kits. $14.99 for 25. http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Wedding-Vintage-Pocket-Invitation/dp/B008QXXI8O/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1421507001&sr=8-4&keywords=wedding+invitation+kits
