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 Bridgerton Inspired Bridal Shower Invitation. The option is really up to you.

High-definition printing is great for pictures that you want to pop and dial up the vibrancy with a high-definition digital printing process. We use CMYK inks plus a lighter shade of cyan and magenta, so we’re able to generate a broader range of colors to more accurately represent the real-life behind your photos. Skin tones and pastel colors have never looked better with high-definition printing. Your images will be brighter, more precise, and livelier.

Yes, Zazzle invitations are completely recyclable. We pride ourselves on being environmentally friendly and some of our paper options are already made with recycled materials.

You’ll see a pop-up that will list the different paper types we have along with information for each such as an image, description, thickness, and weight to help you decide on one. While these are all great options, the Signature Matte is our most popular paper option.
