Plain white envelopes are included with paper invitations and will come to fit the invitation size you select. If you don’t need the envelopes, you may choose to not receive them by selecting the dropdown below "Envelopes" and choosing "None." If you’d like to have a design on your envelopes, you can browse all of these available envelopes to find the design that complements your Gingerbread House Decorating Party Neutral Beige Invitation.

Ideally, you want to send out invitations 2-3 months before most events, such as birthdays. However, this isn’t always possible. If you can’t give that much notice, send them out as soon as all of the plans are confirmed. This will allow your guests as much time as possible to receive the invite and plan to accept the invitation.

However, the bigger and more important your event is, the more advanced notice you’ll want to give your guests. For example, wedding invitations can be sent even six months in advance.

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

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.

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 carry a number of paper options our customers can choose from. To look at our current options, scroll up on this page (or go near the top of any invitation product page), look on the right-hand side, and click on "Compare Papers".

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.
