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.

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 Vintage Red Airplane 1st Birthday Boy Invitation.

For our invitations, you can print on both the front and back whether it’s for a design by one of our creators that already exists or a completely new design you create or customize.

You can edit the design on the back through our Design Tool and selecting "Layers." By customizing the back of your Vintage Red Airplane 1st Birthday Boy Invitation, you can have a more complete invitation and present more information to your potential guests, but don’t worry - you don’t have to add a design to the back if you prefer to just have a design in the front.

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.

There are a number of paper types available to choose from in our paper collection. Our core paper types include Basic Semi-Gloss, Signature Matte, Signature Double-Thick, Premium Linen, Premium Pearlescent, and Premium Soft Touch. We only offer the highest quality paper options for our products.

Our most popular paper is the Signature Matte Paper. Its sturdy 18 pt weight and natural feel make it the ideal choice for timeless, sophisticated events.
