Incorporating a venue illustration is such a fun way to give family and friends a peek of where your special day will take place. It’s a creative and personalized touch that adds a unique charm to your wedding stationery. Venue illustrations can easily make your suite stand out, whether it’s a grand estate, cozy barn, or venue situated on the water. Here are 5 ways to include your venue in your wedding paper.
Your main invitation card is the star of the show! Add your venue illustration at the top or bottom of the card to instantly set the tone for your wedding day. Placing the venue here ensures it’s front and center, showcasing your location while keeping the design clean and elegant.
Your insert card communicates important details like reception info and accommodations. Adding the venue illustration here allows you to be more playful with the design, but in a more subtle way.

Here’s where you can really wow your guests with a hidden surprise! Having your venue illustration printed on an inner envelope liner is an unexpected touch making this invitation accessory a prime location for a sketch. Guests will open the envelope to find a beautiful peek at your venue, creating a moment of excitement as they discover where they’ll be celebrating with you. Just make sure it’s an inner (unsealed) envelope so the liner stays intact, giving the reveal its full impact.
Want to tie everything together—literally? A belly band wrap is a lovely way to hold your invitation suite together while adding an extra touch of style. Featuring your venue illustration on the wrap creates a cohesive look that feels intentional and polished. Guests get an instant look at your venue, creating a beautiful first impression before they reveal the rest of the suite.
