Discover the Ideal Paper for Your Invitation Design
The paper you choose is one of the biggest factors in how your invitations are seen and remembered. From smooth coated stocks with vibrant colour reproduction to textured, recycled, and luxury specialty papers, every material creates its own unique look, feel, and first impression. Choosing the right stock helps ensure your invitations reflect the style and importance of your event before they’re even opened.
Whether you’re designing wedding invitations, birthday invitations, corporate event stationery, or premium celebration cards, our carefully selected paper range offers options to suit every occasion. If you’re comparing materials before placing your order, our guide to gloss, silk, and uncoated paper explains how different paper stocks influence print quality, colour reproduction, texture, and the overall finish of your invitations.
How Far in Advance Should I Order Invitations?
We recommend ordering your invitations as soon as your event date, venue, and key details have been confirmed. Planning ahead gives you plenty of time to review your artwork, approve your proof, and ensure your invitations are ready well before they’re needed.
For weddings and larger celebrations, ordering 8 to 12 weeks before your event is a sensible guideline. This allows enough time for artwork preparation, proofing, printing, delivery, and sending your invitations to guests. If you’ve chosen premium finishing options such as metallic foil, die cutting, rounded corners, creasing, perforation, or custom sizes, it’s worth allowing a little extra time to keep everything running smoothly.
For birthdays, corporate events, fundraising functions, and other celebrations, shorter lead times are often possible. However, it’s still important to allow enough time for your invitations to be delivered and for guests to respond before your event.
Production times vary depending on the quantity, paper stock, artwork approval, size, and finishing options you select. The easiest way to check the estimated turnaround for your order is to configure your invitations using our online calculator, where you’ll see the most accurate production estimate based on your chosen specification.
What Types of Invitations Can You Print?
We print custom invitations for a wide range of personal, social, and business events, including weddings, birthday parties, baby showers, corporate events, product launches, fundraisers, anniversaries, and many other special occasions. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a large celebration, we offer a variety of options to help bring your invitation design to life.
Our invitations can be customised with a range of premium features, including single- or double-sided printing, metallic foil, die cutting, rounded corners, perforated RSVP sections, and folded formats. With an extensive selection of paper stocks, finishes, and sizes, it’s easy to create invitations that suit both your event and your personal style.
If you’ve already prepared your artwork, simply upload your print-ready files after placing your order. If you’d prefer some help with the design, choose “Supply Brief & We Design” during checkout and our in-house design team will create professional invitation artwork based on your requirements.
Do I Have to Choose a Standard Invitation Size?
No. While we offer a wide range of popular invitation sizes, you’re not limited to standard formats. If you have a specific design in mind or need invitations to match an existing stationery suite, you can also order custom-sized invitations.
Our range includes popular sizes such as 4×6 in, 5×7 in, 5.5×4.25 in, 7×5 in, 8×4 in, 8×5 in, and 8.5×5.5 in, along with square invitations and larger formats for projects that require additional space. Custom sizing is ideal for creating distinctive invitations or accommodating artwork that doesn’t fit a traditional layout.
When choosing a size, think about how much information your invitation needs to include. Smaller formats work well for straightforward event details, while larger or folded invitations provide extra room for schedules, maps, accommodation information, RSVP details, or additional artwork. If you’re unsure which format is best for your project, our team is always happy to help you choose the most suitable option.
Can You Print Square Invitations?
Yes. We print square invitations in a range of sizes, making them an excellent choice if you’re looking for something a little different from a traditional rectangular invitation. Their balanced proportions create a contemporary look that’s particularly well suited to weddings, engagement parties, baby showers, milestone birthdays, and premium event stationery.
Square invitations also provide an attractive layout for photography, illustrations, monograms, and modern typography, allowing your design to become the main focus. Their distinctive shape helps them stand out while still offering plenty of space for your event details.
If you’re planning to send your invitations by mail, it’s worth checking the latest Canada Post size and postage requirements before placing your order. Square invitations may require different postage depending on their finished size, weight, and mailing destination.
Can I Add Foil to My Invitations?
Absolutely. Metallic foil is one of the most popular finishing options for invitations, adding a luxurious reflective effect that helps important design elements stand out. It’s ideal for highlighting names, dates, monograms, venue illustrations, decorative borders, and other details that deserve extra attention.
We offer a choice of 12 metallic foil colours, including Gold, Silver, Rose Gold, Copper, Pink, Violet, Red, Blue, Teal, Green, Black Chrome, and Holographic. Raised Spot UV is also available on compatible paper stocks, creating a clear, tactile gloss finish that adds texture and visual contrast.
Metallic foil is only available on selected paper stocks because the process requires a smooth laminated surface to achieve a crisp, consistent finish. If foil is an important part of your invitation design, we recommend choosing a compatible paper stock from the outset. If you’re preparing your own artwork, our guide to how to check your foil printing proof explains how to set up and review your files before production.
Can You Design My Invitations for Me?
Absolutely. If you don’t have print-ready artwork, our in-house design team can create your invitations from scratch. Whether you’re planning a wedding, birthday celebration, corporate event, baby shower, or fundraiser, we’ll work with you to create a design that reflects your style and the tone of your event.
Simply select “Supply Brief & We Design” when placing your order, then send us your event details, wording, colours, logos, photographs, and any inspiration or reference images you’d like us to use. We’ll prepare a professional design based on your brief and send you a digital proof for approval before anything is printed.
Your invitations won’t go into production until you’re completely happy with the artwork. If you’re unsure what information to provide, our guide to how to write a design brief explains how to put together a clear brief that helps our designers bring your ideas to life.
Can You Print Traditional Wedding Invitations?
Yes. We print traditional wedding invitations in a wide variety of styles, from elegant single-card designs to folded invitations and coordinated invitation suites. Whether you’re planning a classic ceremony or a more contemporary celebration, our range of premium paper stocks and finishing options makes it easy to create invitations that reflect the style of your wedding.
You can choose single- or double-sided printing, metallic foil, die cutting, rounded corners, creasing for folded invitations, and perforated RSVP sections, depending on your chosen specification. From understated, timeless designs to luxurious invitation suites with premium finishes, we’ll help you create wedding invitations that make a memorable first impression.
If you’re designing a folded invitation, our guide to explaining our folded print layouts shows how to arrange each panel correctly before preparing your artwork for print.
Can I Add a Tear-Off RSVP Section to My Invitations?
Yes. We can add perforated tear-off sections to your invitations, making it easy for guests to detach and return an RSVP card or keep part of the invitation for future reference. Perforations are a practical option for weddings, charity events, corporate functions, fundraisers, and any occasion where you need a detachable section.
Tear-off panels can be used for RSVPs, admission tickets, drink vouchers, raffle tickets, parking passes, or event reminders. Depending on your design, perforations can be positioned either horizontally or vertically to suit the layout of your invitation.
For the best results, it’s important to design your artwork with the perforation in mind. We recommend keeping text, logos, QR codes, and other important design elements clear of the perforated edge to ensure both sections remain attractive and easy to read after they’ve been separated. If you’re unsure how to position your perforation, our team will be happy to offer guidance during the artwork review process.
What Paper Stock Do You Recommend for Invitations?
The best paper stock depends on the style of invitation you’re creating, the type of event, your artwork, and any premium finishes you’d like to include. Choosing the right paper helps set the tone for your event while ensuring your invitations make the right first impression.
For invitations featuring photography, vibrant colours, or detailed graphics, silk paper provides excellent print quality with crisp detail and rich colour reproduction. If you’re looking for a more natural or traditional appearance, uncoated, textured, and specialty papers offer a softer finish with added character. If you’re planning to add metallic foil or lamination, it’s important to select a compatible paper stock, as some textured materials aren’t suitable for these finishing processes.
If you want your invitations to feel especially luxurious, our Colour Core invitation papers feature a coloured middle layer that creates a striking edge profile and a noticeably thicker, premium finish. If you’re comparing different paper options before ordering, our guide to gloss, silk, and uncoated paper explains how each stock influences print quality, texture, and the overall appearance of your invitations.
How Do I Supply My Invitation Artwork?
If you’re supplying your own artwork, please make sure your files are prepared at the correct finished size and include bleed, safe areas, and any finishing elements required for production. Taking the time to set up your artwork correctly helps ensure your invitations print exactly as intended.
This is particularly important if your invitations include metallic foil, die cutting, rounded corners, creasing, perforations, or double-sided printing. Keep important text, logos, and other key design elements clear of trim edges, fold lines, perforations, and cut lines to reduce the risk of anything being trimmed or affected during finishing. If your design includes borders, it’s also worth allowing for normal production tolerances so the finished invitations remain visually balanced.
Once you’ve placed your order, simply upload your artwork and our prepress team will review it for any obvious setup issues before production begins. If you’d like to learn more about preparing files correctly, our guide to what is bleed in printing? explains why bleed and safe areas are essential for achieving a professional printed result.
We recommend ordering your invitations as soon as your event date, venue, and key details have been confirmed. Planning ahead gives you plenty of time to review your artwork, approve your proof, and ensure your invitations are ready well before they’re needed.
For weddings and larger celebrations, ordering 8 to 12 weeks before your event is a sensible guideline.
