Top 3 Wedding Shagun Envelopes This Shaadi Season
Shaadi season is here, and with it comes the happy rush of sangeet invites, reception cards and family WhatsApp groups buzzing with plans. One small thing that always gets left for the last minute is the shagun envelope. A good envelope makes your blessing look as warm as it feels, so this year we have picked three wedding favourites from our Best Sellers collection to make the choice easy.
How we chose these 3
All three come from our Best Sellers collection and were picked with weddings in mind:
- A rich, festive look that feels right at a wedding stage or reception
- A finish that feels special in the hand – velvet feel, with or without UV print
- Room for ₹100, ₹200 and ₹500 notes, in packs of 20, 50, 100 and 200
- Personalised name printing available on packs of 50, 100 and 200
1. Foil Printed Velvet Shagun Envelopes (Velvet+UV)
Finish: Velvet-feel finish with UV foil print.
Why it suits weddings: The soft velvet texture with shiny foil accents gives a grand, premium look – just right for the shagun you hand over on the wedding stage or at the reception. It is the kind of envelope that the couple notices when they open their gifts later.
Starting price: ₹499 for a pack of 20. See the design
2. Red Velvet Shagun Envelopes (Velvet Feel)
Finish: Soft velvet-feel finish.
Why it suits weddings: Red is the colour of celebration and good luck in most Indian families, so you can never go wrong with it. This is a simple, elegant classic that works for every function – roka, mehendi, phere or reception – and is a smart pick if you want one design for the whole season.
Starting price: ₹449 for a pack of 20. See the design
3. Standing Peacock Velvet Shagun Envelopes (Velvet+UV)
Finish: Velvet-feel finish with UV print.
Why it suits weddings: The peacock is a much-loved motif of beauty and grace in Indian art, and it fits beautifully with traditional wedding decor and outfits. If you like a design with a bit more story to it, this one is for you.
Starting price: ₹499 for a pack of 20. See the design

Make it personal with your name
At a big wedding, the couple receives many envelopes in one evening. Having your family name printed on the envelope means your blessing is easy to recognise later. Name printing is available on packs of 50, 100 and 200 of all three designs above.
The sample above is our newer Red Paisley Lotus pocket shagun envelope (Velvet+UV gold foil), which starts at ₹399 for a pack of 20 – handy for smaller shagun at haldi or mehendi. Explore more in Personalised Shagun Envelopes and pocket envelopes.
Quick tips before the season starts
- Count your weddings: A pack of 20 suits one family function; if you have several weddings or are on the bride or groom's side, 100 or 200 usually works out better per envelope.
- Keep notes ready: Many families add ₹1 to the amount – read why we add ₹1 to shagun.
- Not sure how much to give? Amounts are a matter of custom, not a fixed rule. Our guide on how much shagun to give at an Indian wedding can help.
