What Is a Boxed Invitation? Models and Pricing
What is a boxed invitation, which invitation box models are most popular, and how does ordering work? Everything you need to know in this guide.
When you receive a wedding, engagement, or henna-night invitation, the first thing you notice isn't always the card itself — it's the box it comes in. More and more couples are choosing a boxed invitation because it signals "this is a special occasion" from the very first moment. In this guide we cover what a boxed invitation is, the most popular models, and how ordering works.
What Is a Boxed Invitation?
Unlike a classic card invitation, a boxed invitation delivers the invitation card — often together with a small gift or wedding favor — inside a specially designed box. These invitation boxes can be made from velvet, cardboard, or satin-covered materials, and can include extra details like ribbon, dried flowers, or candy. The goal is to turn opening the invitation into a memorable moment.
Why Choose a Boxed Invitation?
- High keepsake value — guests often keep the box long after the card itself is gone.
- Shareable on social media — velvet and specially printed boxes are perfect for unboxing videos.
- Fully customizable — color, texture, and contents can all match the couple's theme.
- Feels like a gift — receiving it feels less like getting an invitation and more like opening a small present.
Boxed Invitation Models
Bellacolor offers dozens of invitation box models. The most popular ones are:

- Velvet boxes: Ideal for couples looking for a luxurious, tactile feel.
- Heart-shaped box: A romantic choice, especially popular for engagement invitations.
- Drawer box: The card slides out like a drawer, creating a stylish reveal moment.
- Hexagonal cardboard box: For couples after a more modern, geometric look.
