Wax seals are a beautiful and elegant touch that you can add to your wedding invitations - but did you know they can be added to other elements of your wedding day as well? Whether you're planning a traditional black-tie wedding or a modern celebration with boho charm, wax seals add texture, elegance, and a signature look to your invitation suite and beyond.

I get questions all the time about how to use wax seals (and how to mail them!), so today, I’m breaking it all down for you. From styling to postage, let’s talk all things wax seals.

What Can You Put on a Wax Seal?

This is where it gets really fun. With semi-custom wedding invitations, we can match your wax seal to the rest of your suite for a cohesive, intentional look. From classic monograms to romantic florals or custom venue sketches, the design options are endless. 

We offer a full range of wax seals to elevate your wedding invitations, no glue gun required! Each seal comes with a professional-grade, double-sided adhesive backing so you can just peel and stick. Choose from round, square, or oval shapes, and personalize your design with your monogram or one of our signature florals. With 36 colors to choose from and pricing starting at just $2.70 per seal, it’s an easy, elegant upgrade that ties your whole suite together, beautifully.

Mailing Your Wax Seals

Here’s the thing—wax seals are technically non-machinable, which means they might require a little extra postage or hand canceling. But don’t stress, I’ll walk you through it. When in doubt, bring a finished sample to your local post office to weigh and check!

• Use them on inner envelopes or inside a vellum wrap so they’re protected.
• Ask your post office about hand canceling and postage needs—some are more flexible than others.
• I use a special flexible wax that’s designed to handle USPS sorting machines, so breakage is rarely a problem. 

The Cost of Wax Seals

There are two main options when it comes to wax seals. Custom designs, like a custom monogram, will be more expensive, starting at $4.00 per wax seal.

If you're looking for a way to add that elegant wax seal detail without stretching your budget, consider choosing a pre-designed seal. Generic designs, like florals, botanicals, or leaves, are often more affordable than custom monograms or crest designs because the die has already been made. Not only do they cost less, but they also ship faster, making them a great option for couples on a tighter timeline or budget. These are start at $2.70 per wax seal.
