Arch invitations feature a distinctive curved top that creates a softer, more refined appearance than a traditional rectangular invitation. The elegant silhouette helps your invitations stand out while adding a contemporary touch that’s particularly popular for weddings, milestone celebrations, baby showers, and premium event stationery.
At Aura Print, every arch invitation is precision die cut in-house to ensure a clean, consistent finish that complements your artwork. The unique shape naturally draws attention, making it an excellent choice for customers who want their invitations to feel more memorable from the moment they’re received.
Because the curved top is such a prominent design feature, we recommend creating layouts that work with the shape rather than against it. Leaving comfortable spacing around the arch allows the distinctive outline to remain visible, helping your typography, illustrations, and decorative elements feel balanced while showcasing the elegant profile of the invitation.
Absolutely. We can print custom arch-shaped invitations tailored to your chosen size, paper stock, artwork, and finishing options, helping you create invitations that are unique to your event.
If you’ve already prepared your artwork, simply upload your print-ready files after placing your order. Our prepress team will review everything before production begins, checking that your artwork is suitable for the arch shape and ready for printing. If you need help with the design, select “Supply Brief & We Design” during checkout. Our in-house designers will create a bespoke invitation based on your wording, colours, preferred style, and any inspiration or reference images you provide.
Because the curved top changes the overall layout, arch invitations benefit from careful planning. We’ll help ensure important elements such as names, dates, borders, and decorative details are positioned correctly within the finished shape, creating a balanced design that makes the most of the distinctive arch profile.

Yes. Arch invitations have become one of the most popular choices for modern wedding stationery thanks to their elegant shape and timeless appeal. The distinctive curved top creates a softer, more refined presentation than a traditional rectangular invitation, helping your wedding stationery make a memorable first impression.
They’re particularly well suited to floral artwork, minimalist designs, romantic typography, venue illustrations, and neutral colour palettes. The graceful arch can also reflect architectural features such as chapel windows, garden archways, ceremony backdrops, or historic venues, creating a subtle connection between your invitation and the setting for your wedding day.
Because the shape is already a strong design feature, simpler layouts often produce the most elegant results. Clean typography, generous spacing, and carefully placed decorative details allow the arch profile to become part of the design without overwhelming the invitation.

The best paper stock for arch invitations depends on the style of event, your artwork, and the overall impression you want to create. Choosing the right material helps enhance the elegant arch shape while giving your invitations the weight, texture, and finish that best suit your design.
For contemporary invitations with vibrant colours or detailed illustrations, silk paper provides excellent print quality and sharp detail. If you prefer a softer, more natural appearance, uncoated and recycled papers offer a timeless finish that’s well suited to weddings, baby showers, and milestone celebrations. For a more distinctive look, our Colourplan and other specialty papers introduce unique colours and textures that help your invitations stand out.
If you’re planning to add metallic foil or lamination, it’s important to choose a compatible paper stock, as some textured papers aren’t suitable for these premium finishes. If you’d like to compare the available materials before ordering, our guides to different types of printing paper and gloss, silk, and uncoated paper explain how each stock influences the appearance, texture, and quality of your finished invitations.
Absolutely. Metallic foil is a beautiful finishing option for arch invitations, adding a luxurious reflective effect that complements the elegant curved shape. The combination of a distinctive silhouette and premium foil creates invitations that immediately stand out and leave a lasting impression.
We offer 12 metallic foil colours, including Gold, Silver, Rose Gold, Copper, Pink, Violet, Red, Blue, Teal, Green, Black Chrome, and Holographic. Foil is particularly effective for highlighting names, dates, monograms, decorative borders, floral illustrations, and other key design elements without overpowering the overall layout.
Metallic foil is available on compatible paper stocks that provide the smooth surface needed for a crisp, consistent finish. If foil is an important part of your invitation design, we recommend selecting a suitable paper stock from the outset. To explore all of the available finishes, take a look at our foil colour collection and discover which option best complements your invitation.
For the best results, arch invitation artwork should be designed specifically for the finished arch shape rather than created as a standard rectangle and adjusted later. Planning your layout around the curved top helps create a balanced design that makes the most of this distinctive format.
Keep important elements such as names, dates, text, logos, and decorative artwork safely within the safe area, allowing plenty of space between key content and the curved cut line. If your design includes borders or fine lines, remember that normal production tolerances can be more noticeable on shaped products, so leaving generous margins will help achieve a more consistent finished result.
When supplying your artwork, please include bleed, safe areas, and a clearly defined die cut line to show the finished shape of your invitation. Our prepress team will review your files before production and let you know if any adjustments are recommended. If you’re creating a custom-shaped invitation, our guide to how to supply artwork for kiss and die cutting explains how to prepare cut lines and artwork correctly.
Yes. We offer both single-sided and double-sided printing for arch invitations, allowing you to choose the layout that best suits your event and the amount of information you need to include.
Single-sided arch invitations are ideal for clean, minimalist designs where all of the essential details fit comfortably on the front. If you’d like to include additional information such as RSVP details, venue directions, dress codes, accommodation information, event schedules, or a personal message, double-sided printing provides plenty of extra space without overcrowding the design.
For the most elegant presentation, we recommend using the front of the invitation to showcase your main artwork and key event details, while reserving the reverse for supporting information. This approach allows the distinctive arch shape to remain the focal point while keeping your invitation clear, well organised, and easy to read.
Yes. Arch invitations make an excellent centrepiece for a coordinated invitation suite, helping to create a memorable first impression while complementing the rest of your event stationery. The distinctive curved shape naturally draws attention, making it ideal for the main invitation within the set.
Many customers pair an arch invitation with matching RSVP cards, information cards, details cards, belly bands, or save the date postcards. Using a shaped invitation alongside simpler rectangular inserts creates an attractive layered presentation while keeping the supporting pieces practical and easy to organise.
This approach also provides a great balance between style and value. By making the main invitation the standout piece and using standard formats for the accompanying cards, you can create a premium invitation suite without needing every item to be custom shaped.
Arch invitations are typically more expensive than standard rectangular invitations because they require an additional precision die-cutting process to create their distinctive curved shape. This extra production stage helps give the finished invitations a more premium appearance and sets them apart from traditional flat invitations.
The overall price depends on your chosen size, paper stock, quantity, and any optional finishes such as metallic foil, lamination, or specialty papers. As you customise your invitations using our online configurator, the price updates automatically, making it easy to compare different specifications and find the option that best suits your budget.
If you’re looking to balance cost with presentation, consider which feature will have the greatest impact. Some customers choose the elegant arch shape on a classic paper stock, while others combine it with premium finishes to create a truly luxurious invitation.
Yes, provided the finished size of your arch invitations has been planned with mailing in mind. Although the curved top creates a distinctive shape, the overall dimensions of the invitation determine whether it will fit comfortably inside your chosen envelope.
If you’re sending a complete invitation suite with RSVP cards, information cards, belly bands, or other inserts, it’s important to consider the combined thickness as well as the finished dimensions. Choosing an envelope with a little extra room can help protect your invitations during mailing and make the completed suite easier to assemble.
Before purchasing envelopes in larger quantities, we recommend checking the finished dimensions of your invitations and any accompanying inserts to ensure everything fits comfortably. Taking a few moments to confirm the sizing in advance can help your invitations arrive in excellent condition and create a polished first impression.
