How do wedding invitations get folded?
Wedding invitations can be folded in many different ways. The type of fold is often a part of their design. Here are some glossary terms from Carlson Craft with examples of each style. For more glossary terms visit http://lunarink.cceasy.com/CCFAQ.cfm#glossary
Card
Invitation cards do not fold, your wording is printed on the front.
Folder
Invitation folders are folded once, either to create a top or side fold. Your wording is printed on the front.
French-Fold
A sheet of paper folded twice to create a four-paneled invitation is considered French-folded. This fold is most common with parchment invitations.
Short-Fold
A short-fold is created when a sheet of paper is folded once, not exactly in half, forming an invitation with a short front panel and longer back panel.
Tri-Fold (Gate-Fold)
A tri-fold is created when a sheet of paper is folded twice to form a three-paneled invitation. Both outside panels are folded inward to cover the center panel.
Z-Fold
A z-fold is created when a sheet of paper is folded twice in accordion fashion to form a three-paneled invitation.
