Black envelopes are our favourite envelopes for a more formal occasion. They are so stylish and add interest to your invitations at completely no extra expense. Imagine your guests receiving a black envelope in the post! But… how do you go about addressing black envelopes?
You could put a label on the front of course, but here’s a better and really easy idea…
Use a coloured paint pen to address black envelopes!
We like white, silver and gold, but you could use any coloured paint pen you like.
(Try not to choose a paint pen that is too thick or too thin. We recommend using a paint pen with a tip that is 0.7mm thick.)

Black envelopes are available for purchase in most office supply chains, for example Officeworks, at discount variety stores, as well as online via stores such as Amazon.com. You can also find coloured paint pens in these same stores for addressing your black envelopes.
Printing on Black Paper
It is difficult to print on black paper unless you are using special oxide inks. We recommend instead creating black backgounds on the design of the invitation with white or coloured text, and using an external supplier to print your invitations.
