Invitation Card FAQs: Expert Event Planning Advice
What is the best size for a corporate invitation?
The most popular sizes for professional events are A5 (148 x 210mm) or A6 (105 x 148mm). For a more modern, elongated look, DL invitations (99 x 210mm) are highly recommended.
Do your invitation cards include envelopes?
Yes! Every invitation order includes matching premium white envelopes. If you require custom colored envelopes, please contact our support team for a bespoke quote.
Can I print my invitations double-sided?
Absolutely. We offer double-sided full-color printing as standard. This is perfect for including event details on the front and a map or RSVP info on the back.
What resolution should I use for my invitation design?
For high-quality invitation printing, we recommend a resolution of 300dpi. This ensures that fine text and detailed logos remain sharp and clear.
How long does it take to print and deliver invitations?
Our standard turnaround is 3-5 working days. However, we know event deadlines are strict, so we offer Express UK delivery to ensure your invites arrive exactly when you need them.
What is the best paper for a writeable invitation?
If you plan to handwrite guest names, we recommend our uncoated or silk cardstocks. These absorb ink better and prevent smudging compared to high-gloss laminated finishes.
Is your paper eco-friendly?
Yes, we are committed to sustainability. All our cardstocks are FSC-certified, ensuring your invitations are sourced from responsibly managed forests.

How to Prepare Your Artwork
To ensure the highest quality print, please supply your artwork in PDF format. We recommend saving your files with the 'High Quality Print' preset. Here are a few essential tips for the perfect print:
- Bleed Area: Please include a minimum of 3mm bleed on all edges of your design. This ensures no white borders are left when we trim your product to the final size.
- Safe Zone: Keep all important text, contact details, and logos at least 3mm away from the trim edge.
- Resolution: All images and graphics should be supplied at 300dpi (dots per inch) for crisp, clear, and professional results.
- Colour Mode: Convert all RGB and spot colours to CMYK format before exporting your file to avoid unexpected colour shifts.
Understanding Paper Stocks & Finishes
Choosing the right paper stock can dramatically change the feel of your product. Here is a quick guide to our most popular options:
- Silk / Uncoated: A natural, non-reflective finish that is highly readable and easy to write on. Perfect for letterheads, forms, and elegant brochures.
- Gloss: A shiny coating that makes colours pop and images look incredibly vibrant. Ideal for flyers, posters, and photograph-heavy designs.
- Matt Lamination: A smooth, sophisticated finish that dulls reflections and adds a premium, tactile feel to business cards and luxury presentation folders.
- Spot UV & Foil: For maximum visual impact, add a glossy raised layer or metallic foil to specific parts of your design to draw the eye instantly.
