Fresh greenery, pineapples, flamingos, and palm trees – we love the sound of a tropical themed wedding! Whether you’re planning a destination wedding on an exotic beach, or having a summer wedding near home, you can do so much with tropical wedding decor!
Set the tone right from the start by sending your guests a truly tropical wedding invitation. Here are four ideas for DIY tropical wedding invitations using fun paper embellishments.
1.) Envelope Liners
Envelope liners are a small detail that often go overlooked, but they have such a huge impact when guests are opening your wedding invitations! Make your own envelope liners with tropical leaf accents – you can take a look at this post for tips on how to DIY your own envelope liners.
You can also contrast a bright, tropical invitation card with a wood paper envelope liner for a more subtle and earthy look. The wood paper is reminiscent of Hawaiian sandalwood, so it would be perfect for a destination wedding in Hawaii!
Glitter Sand also makes a pretty pair with beachy wedding invitations! It adds a bit of texture and sparkle for an elegant tropical invitation.

2.) Laser Cut Envelopes
There are multiple designs in our line of laser cut envelopes that would be the perfect embellishment for a tropical suite! Greenery and pineapple motif designs add an unexpected flair to your invitations.
These envelopes are ungummed, and can be used as inner envelopes, paired with a full bleed liner and outer mailing envelopes. If you need tips on using double envelopes in your wedding invitations, take a look at this blog post.
