What is vellum?
Vellum is a semi-transparent type of paper that, when placed over a photo or card, creates a unique layered look. Vellum overlays are a popular layer to add on top of save the date cards and wedding invitations. It is considered a recent trend, but vellum paper has been available for many years.
Couples love vellum overlays — sometimes referred to as vellum jackets — because they turn an ordinary card into an extraordinary one. If you’ve ever wanted to make your save the date stand out, vellum is probably one of the easiest, most modern, and on-trend ways to do it in an instant. You can select a favorite font, design, and then add a bow to connect it all nicely.
