MOO built its name on premium business cards, and its cards carry that same clean quality. For a wedding, the table settles three things: whether the printer has a real invitation suite, whether a short guest list can order a short run, and what you get for the price.

Suite, count and samples

Where a MOO card runs out at a wedding

Menus, signs and thank-you cards to match

RSVP cards, save-the-date cards, wedding menus, table tents, wedding signs and thank-you cards sit in the same catalog as the invitation, so one palette runs from the envelope to the reception and the whole set comes from one printer instead of three vendors.

Envelopes and corners in the same order

Flat invitations can add matching white wove envelopes at checkout, and the corners can be rounded at a 1/8 or 3/8 inch radius. Folded invitations open from sheets that fold down to the same three sizes as the flat card: 4.25 x 5.5, 5 x 7 and 6 x 6 inches.

The finishes couples actually ask for

Foil monograms in seven foil colors, letterpress, embossing, velvet, and Diamond Glitter are wedding staples, and 4OVER4.COM prints each as a dedicated product. MOO does not list letterpress or embossed invitations as products of their own.

Hold the paper before you commit

A linen texture, a pearl sheen and an embossed edge read differently in the hand than on a screen. 4OVER4.COM ships a free samples kit and includes a free proof on every order, so the stock and the ink are settled long before the suite goes to print.

A wedding budget you can plan around

Send a MOO quote for the same card and the price match beats it by 10%. Coins earned on the invitation order count toward the thank-you cards that follow the wedding.

Letterpress past the 5 by 7

Letterpress and embossed invitations come in five sizes from 4 x 6 to 11 x 17 inches, plus a custom size up to 11 x 17, so a program or a large menu card can carry the same pressed finish as the invitation.

7 Wedding invitation styles

20 Flat invitation stocks

3 Flat invitation sizes

10 days Letterpress turnaround

Linen, foil and letterpress

Linen, pearl and laminated stocks with foil, letterpress and velvet

Start with the stock, since paper is what MOO is known for. Flat wedding invitations come on 20 stocks, from 10pt StarLustre Platinum to 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice, with 18pt Premium White Linen, cream uncoated cover and 18pt kraft in between. Foil invitations print on 16pt silk laminate or 14pt uncoated cover, and velvet invitations use a 16pt soft velvet laminate. The glitter pieces use Diamond Glitter, a printable glitter stock that does not crack or shed. If the finish names are new to you, the how to design wedding invitations guide walks through stock, layout, and finish choices.

A blush, a sage, or a metallic gold in your palette has to match on the invite, the RSVP, and the menu. Every order goes through a pre-press check and prints on calibrated presses, so the color you approve is the color that mails.

Foil colors

Gold, silver, copper, rose gold, red, black and blue, pressed on the front, the back or both sides of a foil invitation.

Velvet

Velvet invitations come flat or scored to fold, in 8 sizes from 4.25 x 5.5 up to a 12 x 6 sheet that scores to 6 x 6.

Folded

Folded invitations print on 12 stocks, from 13pt uncoated to 18pt Premium White Linen, with four Metallic Pearl shades among them.

Turnaround

Flat invitations print in as little as same day when you order by 12pm ET, so the mail date you planned the suite around holds.

Value

25 folded invitations cost $38.22 and 100 cost $93.58, so the price per card drops from about $1.53 to about 94 cents.

Ink

Flat invitations print full color on the front, with a blank back, a black back or full color on both sides.

Styles and guest count

Folded and letterpress invitations printed to your guest count

A real wedding suite, not one flat card

At MOO, a wedding invitation means your design printed on one of its flat cards. 4OVER4.COM lists seven invitation styles as separate products, each with its own stock and finish options: foil wedding invitations for the monogram, letterpress for the pressed feel, embossed and velvet for texture, plus folded and Indian styles. Browse the full wedding collection. For wording help, start with what to put on wedding invitations.

Runs sized to the guest list

A guest list rarely lands on a round pack size. 4OVER4.COM flat invitations step from 25 to 50, 100 and then by the hundred, so a 40-guest elopement orders 50 and a 400-guest celebration orders 400, and the unit price drops as the count climbs. For etiquette, see how to address wedding invitations, and if you are weighing printers in general, where to print wedding invitations lays out the options.

Gains and press time

What you gain over MOO and the press time to plan for

4OVER4.COM wedding invitations

Letterpress and embossing as their own products
Folded invitations on 12 stocks
20 flat stocks from 10pt to 26pt
Matching white wove envelopes on flat cards
Menus, signs and table tents in the same cart

MOO cards

No dedicated wedding line
No folded invitations
Cards sold in fixed packs
No free physical samples kit
No published price match

The one trade-off worth planning for is time. Foil invitations run on a 7 day turnaround and letterpress and embossed on 10 days, against 3 days for a standard flat card, so the piece that feels the most special is the one to order first. Leave room for the proof to come back approved, and the mail date still holds.

Wally explains the invitation switch

Same premium feel, a full wedding suite and more control

Wally the 4OVER4 mascot holds up the winning wedding invitation on the podium as 4OVER4.COM outprints MOO on suite range, premium finishes, and value

Wally sets a MOO card beside a letterpress invitation: the pressed type, the foil monogram and the folded card are what a wedding order asks for. Pick the finish, set the count for your list, and approve the proof before the suite prints.

Suite, price, paper and timing

Choosing between MOO and 4OVER4.COM for a wedding suite

A wedding order turns on four questions: what the first run costs, how the paper feels, how the files get made and when the suite has to mail.

How pricing compares to MOO

Flat wedding invitations printed on premium stock by 4OVER4.COM

MOO prices its cards by the pack, so you see the total up front and a small round order comes out tidy. 4OVER4.COM prices each invitation style on its own ladder, and the first step differs by finish: 25 flat wedding invitations start at $19.77, 100 letterpress or embossed invitations at $220.20, and 500 foil invitations at $421.91. The unit cost drops as the run grows. For a full budget picture, the how much do wedding invitations cost guide runs the numbers.

Card quality and premium finishes

Letterpress wedding invitations with a pressed finish printed by 4OVER4.COM

MOO cards have a good hand feel, and an invitation has to match it the moment it leaves the envelope. Letterpress and embossed invitations print on 16pt silk, gloss or velvet laminated stock, and either one can add foil stamping on the front, the back or both sides, so a pressed card can still carry a metallic name.

Making the files

Design the invitation in the free online designer, which draws on 10,000+ templates across the catalog, or upload your own file. Each product page lists its print-ready dimensions, so a file built in your own software lands at the right size with its bleed.

Timing the order right

You plan wedding stationery backward from the wedding date. Save-the-dates go out months ahead, invitations follow on their own window, and the RSVP deadline drives the caterer's count. The finish sets your order date: the letterpress and foil pieces go first, and the flat RSVP and menu cards can follow. The when to send wedding invitations timeline gives a mail date for each piece.

Who 4OVER4.COM is the right MOO alternative for

Couples whose guest list does not fit a pack size, planners who want the bulk tiers across several weddings, and anyone who wants foil, letterpress or velvet on the invitation itself. The boutique wedding invitations case study follows one order from first design to the mailbox.

Two invitation styles in use

The stories behind the Indian wedding invitations and the velvet invitations show two of the styles in use, and the wedding collection sets every style side by side with its stocks and finishes.

4.8/ 5

The verdict

The better pick over MOO when the wedding needs letterpress, foil or velvet as a real product, a run that matches the guest list, and the menus and signs from the same printer.

Order wedding invitations

Pick the look first

Match the finish to the look of your wedding

Start from the look of the wedding, then pick the paper. Four common looks each map to a finish: letterpress, a plain flat card, foil on an uncoated or laminated card, or velvet and embossing.

Quiet and modern, where the invitation is mostly space and one typeface. Letterpress suits it, because the impression carries the whole design.
Botanical and soft, where illustration does the work on a warm stock and the finish stays understated.
Formal and traditional, where a foil monogram on a heavy uncoated card sets the register before a word is read.
Rich and textural, where velvet or an embossed pattern makes the envelope worth opening slowly.

Start with letterpress or foil invitations, and the design guide covers layout.

MOO wedding questions

Common Questions

Answers on quantities, finishes, guarantees and order dates for a wedding suite. For printing questions beyond the wedding, browse the FAQs hub.

Can I feel the stock before ordering wedding invitations?

Yes, and it is worth doing before a suite is committed to a finish. A free samples kit puts the linen, the velvet and the laminated stocks in your hand, which settles arguments a screen cannot. After the order goes in, a free proof confirms the color and the stock again before anything prints.

Which invitation style suits a small wedding?

A small guest list frees up the budget per invitation, so it is the one case where the most tactile finishes are easy to justify. Letterpress and embossed pieces feel like an object rather than a card, which suits an intimate event. Letterpress and embossed print from 100, so a 60-guest list orders 100 and keeps spares for keepsakes and the photographer.

Does MOO make dedicated wedding invitations?

MOO sells flat business and greeting cards, and couples do use those cards as invitations. What MOO does not carry is a dedicated wedding line: folded invitations, letterpress and embossed finishes, and a matched RSVP and save-the-date suite as their own products. 4OVER4.COM prints all of those, so you choose the exact piece each moment of the wedding calls for.

Are 4OVER4.COM wedding invitations as premium as MOO cards?

Yes. The heaviest flat invitation stock is 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice, with 24pt Ultra Thick Gloss Cover just under it. For a pressed or metallic piece, the letterpress wedding invitations and foil wedding invitations both offer 16pt silk laminated stock.

Do I have to order invitations in fixed packs like MOO?

No. You pick a count from the style list and pay for that count. On flat invitations, 300 cost $60.42 and 400 cost $69.20, about 17 cents a card at 400.

When does a MOO alternative make more sense for wedding invitations?

If all you need is one flat card in a small quantity, either printer will do the job. Pick 4OVER4.COM when the invitation needs a fold, a foil monogram or a letterpress impression, and compare those in the wedding collection.

How many wedding invitations should I order?

Count households rather than guests, since one invitation usually covers a couple or a family, then add spares for keepsakes, photography and the address that gets written wrong. A 118-household list with spares orders 200 flat invitations, and the unit price falls as the count climbs. Spares belong in the first run: going from 100 to 200 flat invitations adds $8.78, while a separate run of 25 later costs $19.77. The cost of wedding invitations guide walks through the math.

How fast can 4OVER4.COM print and ship my wedding invitations?

Flat invitations can ship the same day when ordered by 12pm ET. Foil invitations take 7 days and letterpress or embossed 10, so place that order before the RSVP cards and the menus. Count back from your mail date with the when to send wedding invitations timeline, which sets an order date for each piece of the suite.

Can I compare 4OVER4.COM against MOO for other products too?

Yes. This page sticks to the wedding suite, and the 4OVER4.COM vs MOO page covers the business cards and the rest of the MOO range. For holiday cards after the wedding, read the MOO Christmas cards alternative; for favor labels and envelope seals, the MOO stickers alternative. Other printers sit on the printing alternatives hub.

Does 4OVER4.COM guarantee its wedding invitations?

Every order is backed by five guarantees: Quality, Price Match, Rush Fee Back, Customer Service, and Ultimate Satisfaction. The quality guarantee rests on G7 color profiling and an expert review of every artwork, and the satisfaction guarantee is money back. Before you approve the proof for a letterpress or foil suite, the printing terms glossary explains bleed, laminated stock, letterpress, and the other words on a wedding quote.
