THE INVITATION BOX BLUEPRINT
How to design and make luxury velvet wedding invitation boxes and build a higher-value offer that transforms your stationery business and your life.
THE STATIONERY INDUSTRY HAS CHANGED.
YOUR OFFER NEEDS TO KEEP UP.
AI has made it possible for anyone to create beautiful wedding invitations in minutes. Your work gets compared to Canva templates and Etsy listings. Every quote is met with "that seems expensive." Your craft is invisible and your time is undervalued.
But here's what AI cannot do. It cannot create something physical, tactile, and breathtaking. Something a bride lifts out of her post box and holds in her hands, heart racing, before she's even opened it. Something her guests talk about for months. Something that makes her feel, before the wedding has even begun, that she made the right choice.
That is what a luxury velvet invitation box does. And this course will teach you how to make one.
Learn how to design and produce luxury velvet wedding invitation boxes and in doing so, triple your prices, elevate your designs to an entirely new level, and build the kind of stationery business you actually dreamed of when you started.
We'll show you exactly where to source every material you need. And if you want to get started even faster, you can buy the pre-cut materials directly from us so that all you have to do is assemble them.
This is not a small upgrade to what you already offer. This is a transformation.
You make beautiful stationery.
The box is the next level.
Our velvet boxes start from €39 per unit. For a typical set of 100 suites, that is €3,900 before a single card is designed. For a client spending on a luxury wedding, that number is not a barrier. It is a signal that they are dealing with someone serious.
You'll learn how to design, construct and sell rigid velvet invitation boxes, from sourcing your materials and building the box by hand, in a way that makes a flat suite feel like the budget option.
By the end, you'll have the skills, the templates, and the tools to add a luxury box offer to your stationery studio, and position yourself for more affluent clients.
FOUR MODULES. EVERYTHING YOU NEED
TO MAKE AND SHELL LUXURY BOXES
1. WELCOME. WHY THE BOX CHANGES EVERYTHING
Before we get into the build, we want to make sure you understand the opportunity in front of you. This module covers the unboxing moment as a luxury signal, why boxes command 3 to 5 times the price of a flat suite, and exactly who this course is for.
2. THE ANATOMY OF A LUXURY INVITATION BOX
A deep dive into what makes a luxury velvet invitation box: construction and dimensions, how the lid pocket functions, how rigid construction works, and where to source every material. The full supplier list is included. And if you'd rather skip the sourcing entirely, you can purchase pre-cut materials directly from us, ready to assemble from day one.
3. BUILDING THE BOX. FULL PRODUCTION WALKTHROUGH
This is the heart of the course. A complete filmed walkthrough from flat materials to finished product. You'll see exactly how to cut, score and wrap velvet fabric without bubbles, creases or lifting edges, how to construct and attach the lid pocket, and how to scale your production to 100 units without losing quality.
4. SECRET TIPS, PRICING AND EVERYTHING WE KNOW
Ten years of making luxury invitation boxes teaches you things you won't find anywhere else. In this module we share our best-kept secrets, the little details that make the difference between a beautiful box and an unforgettable one.
And exclusively for course students: you will have the option to order your boxes pre-cut and unassembled directly from us, in the velvet colour of your choice, ready for you to put together for your clients.
