Where have you been all my life, xpedx?

Soon after our Save the Date magnets arrived, I went to paper heaven. Xpedx is paper heaven. And how, how, how had I no idea such a store existed?

From cardstock, to every size envelope imaginable, to tissue paper, to gift bags, I could not imagine a bride not going absolutely nuts here. Seriously awesome! Best of all, the employees were more than generous about offering samples of open stock. 

My personal find of the day was A2 Stardream Antique Gold Envelopes. 


As a result, I started rethinking my Save the Date packaging. My major gripe with magnets is that they shake around in the envelope and feel somewhat lost and appear "unfinished". Good news is, my magnets measure 5 1/2" by 3 1/2" (kind of huge, oopsies!) and they fit perfectly in an A2 envelope. So I started thinking I'd focus my attention on styling the envelopes...

What are your favorite envelope decorating details? Wrap around labels? Embossing?
