Custom Shagun and Money Envelopes

A shagun envelope is handed over in front of people. It gets held, read and often kept. That is a reason to care about the paper it is printed on. Ours are 270 gsm cardstock, matt laminated so they survive a handbag or a coat pocket, and finished with real gold foil.

Ordering for a wedding

How many to order

Most couples land between 50 and 200. Count your guest list, add ten percent, and order once. Splitting an order across two runs risks a small color shift between batches.

Personalization

Send the names exactly as you want them printed, including spellings and any honorifics. We set them in foil and email a proof. Nothing prints until you approve it.

Timelines

Non personalized envelopes leave in 1 to 3 business days. Personalized envelopes take 3 to 7 business days to produce, then ship across the United States. For a wedding, give yourself three weeks of margin.

Background reading

If you are new to the tradition and want context, Britannica on Diwali covers the festival, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art has a good piece on the South Asian decorative motifs these designs draw from.
