Invitation cards are an ideal way to announce weddings, birthdays, promotions, political events, baby showers, and other special occasions. We offer custom invitation card printing for businesses, event planners, designers, and personal projects. Select from flat or folded styles, with a variety of sizes, shapes, orientations, and cardstock options. Enhance your design with premium finishes such as foil stamping and embossing, along with add-ons like wraps, bands, envelopes, or drilled holes for ribbons and twine. Whether you require short runs or large quantities, we deliver high-quality results tailored to your vision.

Invitation Card Sizes

The size depends on your invitation style, content, and overall design preference. We offer a wide range of sizes and shapes for both flat and folded invitation formats to suit different needs and styles. Flat invitations are ideal for concise messaging, such as simple event details or RSVP cards, offering a clean, modern look. Folded invitations provide more space for longer text, detailed information, or elaborate designs, making them perfect for weddings, programs, or multi-section layouts. Here are some of the most popular sizes:

Invitation Card Paper Options

The choice of paper for your invitations plays a key role in conveying your design, purpose, and overall aesthetic. For invitations that require vibrant, full-color printing on both sides, we recommend premium C2S cardstock (250–350 gsm / 12–16 pt), which delivers sharp, bright colors and a polished finish. If you prefer full-color printing on the coated side while keeping the uncoated side writable for personal messages or RSVP details, C1S cardstock (250–350 gsm / 12–16 pt) is an excellent option. For a more natural, textured, and eco-friendly feel, uncoated cardstock (200–300 gsm / 10–14 pt) offers a soft, tactile quality that works well for minimalist or rustic designs.

We also provide specialty papers to enhance the look and feel of your invitations. Vellum paper creates a delicate, translucent effect perfect for layering or adding subtle elegance. Linen paper adds a refined, woven texture that conveys sophistication and style. Cotton paper offers a luxurious, soft-to-the-touch experience, ideal for premium or formal events. For environmentally conscious choices, FSC-certified paper ensures your invitations are sustainably sourced without compromising on quality. With such a wide variety of papers available, you can select the perfect material to match your vision and make your invitations truly memorable.
