For weddings specifically, envelopes inscribed with "壽" or "御結婚御祝" (O Kekkon Oiwai, meaning Congratulations on Your Marriage) are customary. Japanese congratulatory envelopes typically feature a decorative cord called "mizuhiki" as a seal, and often come with a dual-layer packaging design. The small, three-dimensional embellishment in the upper right corner is known as "noshi." Inside, there is a plain white envelope called a "nakabukuro" (inner envelope), where the giver's name and title are written before being enclosed in the beautifully designed outer wrapper. 【Product Specifications】 Laid flat, unfolded: 10.5 x 18 cm Designed and imported from: Japan Material: Imported cardstock ※ All product dimensions are measured in centimeters when laid flat.
