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.

Absolutely! You can make your own design from a completely blank template by following these steps:

• 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 too, which you can use to add text, images, and more to completely customize your design

You’ll want to consider using high-definition printing, or HD printing, for important or larger images.

With our HD printing, we use CMYK ink to better generate a larger variety of images for better color accuracy, particularly when used for light pastel colors and skin tones. High-definition printing helps photos look livelier. This is because the colors will seem brighter and more realistic as lines will be crisper and details will be more clear, which is particularly important for larger images. Large images without HD printing may seem pixelated and low-quality.

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.

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.
