Red White & Two 2nd Birthday Invitation

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.

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.

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.

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.
