The best time to send out invitations is typically 2-3 months before the event for small or medium sized events. For example, you’d want to send out your holiday party invitations 2-3 months ahead of time. You’ll want to order your invitations about 2 weeks before you send them out, so the best time to order your invitations from us is about 2.5-3.5 months ahead of time. This allows your guests to plan accordingly and helps to maximize the chance that a guest can come.

For large events like weddings, you’ll want to give your invitees more notice than for standard events. Order your wedding invitations and envelopes about 4.5-6.5 months in advance to send your invitations 4-6 months before the special day.

When you order invitations from us, we’ll include appropriate-sized white envelopes based on the size of the invitations of your purchase. However, if you don’t want or already have envelopes and want to just receive the invitations, you can opt out of receiving the envelopes.

You can also order envelopes with different designs instead of plain white envelopes if you want your envelopes to have special designs.

Yes, you can print on the back of your invitation for free! Most designs already have a corresponding design on the back that can be personalized using the Design Tool and going to Layers. This is a great way to communicate more information or further personalize your Elegant 72nd Birthday Invitation For Her In Gold. The option is really up to you.

While you can customize any existing design by going to a product page and selecting "Personalize" then "Edit using Design Tool," you can also create your own design completely from scratch through the following:

• Step 1: Navigate to our "Personalized Custom Invitations & Announcement" page
• Step 2: Find the product you want to add a design to and click on it to get to a page that features that product
• Step 3: Select "Customize This Design"
• Step 4: You’ll then enter our design tool, which you can use to add text, images, and more to completely customize your design

When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with our 18 pt Matte paper. It has a standard uncoated matte finish and a natural feel to it to empower any design and color printed on this paper to pop making it the perfect paper type for invitations.

We currently have several different sizing options for our customers to choose from. Many of these options are popular for a variety of uses, but our 5"x7" option is the most popular size for invitations.
