About Us

Formal-Invitations.com was founded in 1991 by Melissa Nyssen, as an alternative to high priced custom invitations and cheap, flimsy, kits that we found difficult to setup and print. We also set out to create a one-of-a-kind invitation using dimensional embellishments that really stand out from the common flat party invitation. We are a small, family-owned company and our mission is to provide high quality, unique, earth-friendly and incredibly easy do it yourself wedding invitations,  starting at 74¢ each. Our affordable wedding invitations have been seen in Bride’s, Modern Bride, Martha Stewart Weddings, Instyle Weddings, Bridal Guide, Wedding Essentials, Bridal Bargains, the Style Channel and Top Wedding Sites.

Our exclusive invitations are not available in stores, only directly from us at http://www.formal-invitations.com to provide the lowest possible price. Select from over 100 invitation kits, or mix and match 50 earth-friendly cards and 200 embellishments to create luxurious invitations starting at 74¢, which includes the heavyweight background card, printable overlay, keepsake embellishment and envelope. An additional outer envelope, envelope liner, tissue overlay, foil seals and corresponding cards are additional options offered.

The layered invitations were designed to be made easily and consist of a heavyweight background cards pre-cut to the correct size to fit in our envelopes and standard (easy to print) 8.5×11 overlay made for ink jets, lasers and copiers. Using our free word processing templates, the process is simple: just change the wording, print and cut …no tiny sheets to setup and try to print on!

Every effort is made to provide the most earth-friendly papers, made from 30-100% recycled fibers or tree free recycled cotton, and processed chlorine free or elemental chlorine free. All envelopes are made from 100% post consumer fibers. We are approved for people and planet by Co-op America and listed in the Green Pages.
