Invitation Printing FAQs

Do you print portrait and landscape invitations?

Yes! You can choose whether your cards and invitations will be landscape or portrait orientation.

What paper stocks are available?

We offer a variety of materials for invitations. Our most popular are:

• 100% PCW Uncoated Paper
  • Smooth, dull, and white surface
• 10% PCW Recycled Coated Paper
  • Smooth, sleek, and white surface
• 50% PCW Recycled Kraft Board
  • Textured, dull, and brown surface

Should I use a text weight or cover weight stock?

You should pick a paper weight based on how thick and flexible you want your invitation to be. Text weight paper is light weight and flexible. It is thinner but easily folded. Light can be seen through text stock. Cover weight paper is thick and sturdy. It can hold up to more wear but is heavier and not as flexible. Light cannot be seen through cover stock. A higher number of points or pounds means the paper is thicker. For example, a 100lb text stock is thicker than an 80lb text stock, but not as thick as a 100lb cover stock.

If I add a fold, can I print on the inside of my invitation?

Of course! You can choose which sides of your folded cards and invitations get printed or left blank, including the front, back, and inside.

What do the different ink choices mean?

Different ink choices are available depending on your chosen stock and project. There is a slight discount for choosing black ink only.

• 4/4: Full Color (CMYK) on both sides.
• 4/1: Full Color (CMYK) on the front side, and black only on the back side.
• 4/0: Full Color (CMYK) on the front side and blank on the back side.
• 1/1: Black Ink only on both sides.
• w/w: White Ink on both sides.
• w/0: White Ink on the front side and blank on the back side.
• (w+4/w+4): White Ink and Full Color (CMYK) on both sides.
• (w+4/0): White Ink and Full Color (CMYK) on the front side and blank on the back side.

Will I get a proof of my invitations before production begins?

Yes! We will send you up to two free digital (soft) proofs before production begins. Extra soft proofs and physical hard proofs can be ordered for an extra cost. For more information about proofs, please review our Proofing Options page.

Can I add a coating or laminate to my invitations?

If you choose a coated paper (like silk or gloss), we can add a soft touch coating. Soft touch coating creates a velvety texture and matte appearance. This is available on flat and folded cards.

On any flat cards (no folds), we can add a gloss laminate. We use the most eco-friendly gloss laminate available. It uses heat to seal itself to your paper product. Because of this, a small edge of laminate will be left around the outside of your product to ensure proper sealing.

Can I print extra invitations later?

Of course! You can always reorder your invitation. Just keep in mind that ordering a smaller quantity will lead to a higher cost per invitation. We recommend ordering a few extras in your first order to get the best price possible.

Are envelopes included? Can you print on the envelopes?

Envelopes are not included by default but can be added for an additional cost. You can completely customize your envelopes to match your invitations. We offer envelopes that match most common card sizes. We can also provide variable data printing for addresses or names, kitting services, and mailing services.

Can you address and mail my invitations for me?

Absolutely! We offer a variety of mailing services. We can print, address, and mail your invitations directly from our facilities, so you never have to worry about making it to a post office.
