While standing in the check-out line today I picked up the most recent Martha Stewart Weddings magazine to flip through. The first page I flipped open to I saw the most amazing idea – lace doily envelope liners! I immediately purchased the magazine and raced home to read what Martha’s newest idea was!
These doily envelope liners make the perfect DIY project for your wedding! They look great with a neutral colored invitation, or I thing they would look equally beautiful with a bright colored paper peaking through. I found easy instructions from Martha Stewart Weddings to make these liners.
To make, lay a 9-inch square doily face down, with a corner pointing toward you. Center invitation on top. Fold up bottom point, then side points, and finally the top. Insert into envelope. You can buy doilies in different sizes based on the size of your invitation. I found a 9-inch square butterfly doily from Artifacts Inc. I also found some square paper doilies online here.
I would love to find somewhere that sold lace envelopes! If you know of any let us know!

Please, let me know if you find that store!!!
Neither one of the sites listed above have the 9″ square doilies.
Hi Anonymous, the second website does indeed carry the square doilies in 3 different sizes, as well as round doilies. If you type in the search box the word ¨doily¨ you will come up with two choices. The first is round only, the second is both shapes. Good luck!
Hi there
For the 9 inch doily to work, what is the best paper size for the invitation card (for the doily to wrap around)?
Thanks

I am not into doily but I have to say that these do look great as an invite, and one can use ones color scheme as the background to the white and thats one why of incorporating the wedding theme. Great idea.
looks like a fabulous event!
what a great use for a doily! It would be perfect for a vintage themed wedding!
