Envelope Sealing Tips
Tying the Knots works with the best envelope manufacturer in the business. The envelopes that accompany your invitations are made with specialty art paper that is very different from that of the envelopes you would find at a typical office supply store. Because this paper is thicker, the manufacturer recommends taking care when sealing.
They recommend using an “envelope moistener". This provides a consistent application of moisture. Other tools that can help achieve even moisture are a brush dipped in water or a QTip. Name brand clear glue sticks and Scotch brand 1/4” double-sided tape work well on un-moistened flaps.
After the glue has been moistened, seal the envelope by pressing firmly, moving fingers with consistent pressure across all adhesive areas for 5-10 seconds. This step is critical to assure a secure adhesion.
After envelopes are sealed, place them under something heavy while they dry. This will reduce any flap wrinkling and help to ensure a good seal.
It is recommended that you ask your local post office to “hand-cancel” your invites instead of machine processing. This will allow greater care to be taken when processing.
