Signing correctly
Beautiful calligraphic handwriting plays an important role in the design of the envelope.
The most effective inscriptions will be made with classic ink or multi-colored gel pens with glitter. For those who are not confident in the beauty of their handwriting, you can use special stencils - they can be purchased at any stationery store or department.
The advantages of this option are:
- original lettering style,
- large and easy to read font,
- definition.
Attention ! After the congratulatory words, you need to write who the envelope is from: “From Ira’s grandmother,” “From the groom’s mom and dad,” “To dear Vanya and Masha from friend Kostya,” “With love, from your witness.” Or simply put your last name, for example: “From the Ivanov family”, “From work colleagues: Ivanov, Petrova, Sidorova”, and so on. And no matter how you write your last name, the main thing in the cover’s signature is the congratulatory phrase - it will create the right impression of your monetary wedding gift.
Materials for making an “open when” envelope with your own hands
To make an “open when...” envelope, you can use a ready-made envelope purchased at the post office as a basis, or you can fold it from colored paper or cardboard. The shape also be completely different : a square or an elongated rectangle.
Take a white envelope, transfer a stencil onto it, or simply paint it with bright colors. Or create cartoon envelope templates in a graphic editor and print them on a color printer.
Draw the inscriptions with colored markers, they should be striking and different from each other, depending on the mood of the inscription on the envelope, mark them with the appropriate emoticons.
For decoration use:
- satin ribbons;
- rhinestones;
- glitter;
- gold paint for edging.
Messages with the inscription “open when...” will not be sent by mail, so the envelopes can be made of fabric, felt , so they will definitely not be demolished, and the memory will last much longer.
This is what concerns the design itself: although it is aesthetically beautiful, the most important thing will be the “filling” of these envelopes. But more on that later.

To prevent the money from falling out or spilling out prematurely, they can be attached to the knitting needles with ordinary threads.
Married couples usually do not give each other any amounts, since the budget is common. But you can please the future bride or groom with a photo frame with a joint photo, on the back of which banknotes will be placed.
If you give a piggy bank to a colleague or acquaintance, then make sure that there is already something ringing or rustling inside it.
Pack a debit, bonus or gift card with finances in several layers of polyethylene and in 5-6 boxes with strings and fasteners secured tightly. Watch the hero of the occasion approach hysterics during the opening process. This method is not suitable for congratulating your superiors, otherwise they will start giving you your salary.
Money will be a good addition to any gift; it can be invested in clothes, drawing kits, books, and so on in an original way. Use your own imagination and don't be shy about your ideas.
You can also simply put money in a beautiful jar and present it with poetry to a loved one or just a friend, telling him or her the following words:
Be! Health and good luck! - And the day will be richer with you! (spell to money...)

Rules for preparing congratulations in a postcard
The tradition of giving small envelope postcards for special occasions with banknotes inside is not a reason to refuse another pleasant gift. A wedding card, which friends and relatives invited to the wedding signed with their own hands, will be a pleasant surprise and will keep the best moments of the wedding day in the newlyweds’ memory for a long time. When choosing, consider the following features:
- Celebration style. A themed wedding not only requires appropriate decor and surroundings, but also sets a high bar for the guests. Find an unusual greeting card that matches the style of the wedding ceremony.
- Size. A small or huge wedding card is not the best choice. The first one can easily be lost in the bustle of the celebration, and the second one may have nowhere to be stored due to its size. A medium-sized postcard is ideal.
- Preferences of the bride and groom. Creative people are pleased to receive congratulations from family and friends signed on a hand-made wedding card. Lovers of exquisite, high style will love an exclusive gift, stylized as an ancient manuscript, or a parchment scroll. Young people will love a beautiful typographic card chosen with love.
- Availability of printed ready-made text. There will be no problems with such a postcard, because the unknown author came up with everything for you. But it’s more pleasant to receive wedding congratulations, written by the hands of the donor with soul and tenderness.
How to sign wedding cards correctly, so that the newlyweds would be pleased and excited, many years later, to open the yellowed piece of paper and remember the special wedding day? The design rules are as follows:
- It is not customary to sign an envelope postcard. If you want to emphasize the name of the donor, you should sign the envelope briefly.
- The closer you know the newlyweds, the more warm, affectionate words and phrases are used to write.
- Beautiful words on the sheets of an unusual wedding card, designed in a certain style, will create a sensation if they are written with pen and ink.
- It is better to sign a wedding card succinctly.
- A humorous form of congratulations will always be appropriate, but try not to overdo it.
- Create a structure for the text of your congratulations so that it can be read easily and quickly.
We sign the envelope for friends and colleagues
When signing a money wedding envelope for acquaintances who are not your close friends, it is better to limit yourself to standard phrases. Excessive familiarity is also not appropriate if you are going to congratulate one of your colleagues or distant relatives on their wedding day.
The most successful examples : *** Dear (names of the bride and groom), congratulations on your wedding day! Love, mutual understanding and financial well-being!
*** Happy legal marriage, (names of the bride and groom)! May every day of your family life be happy and successful. I wish to accumulate wealth and spend it for my pleasure!
