Square wedding invitations are a great way to set the style of your invitations apart immediately. One thing that people often do not consider when they are thinking about using this format is that the postage cost is going to be higher. The reason for this is that the envelopes do not easily go through postal machines and will have to be hand stamped. This may not necessarily be a bad thing though because it will help keep the envelope cleaner in transit and will also aid in keeping the invitations from possibly getting torn in the mail. You may even decide to forgo outer envelopes and opt for the square envelopes instead.
Another thing that should be considered when choosing square envelopes is the layout. Of course this should always be considered, but in the case of a square invitation this can limit the amount of space that is available for wording and graphics, so if there is a need for a large amount of these elements, it may be a good idea to reconsider the layout or add a folding square invitation, which would lend more space to the project.
Square wedding invitations often look best with some colored paper layers around the edges to add interest. In the form of a card it may be nice to do a square cutout on the front to emphasize the shape. It may also be considered that adding a photo to the piece would add to it because a square shape may be nice to use for use in a picture frame as a keepsake.
Square wedding invitations are unique most likely because of he added cost but they are actually becoming popular. If this is a layout that you would like to do, you should check with your local post office on the cost of postage because it might be as much as you think.
