Question

What paper stock works best for baby shower invitations?

Answer

Thicker stocks feel more special in your guests' hands, which is exactly the impression you want a baby shower invitation to make. A sturdy card stock with a matte or pearl finish gives a premium, keepsake feel.

StockFeelBest for
14 to 16pt card stockFirm, professionalEveryday shower invites on a budget
Matte finishSoft, no glareElegant, easy-to-read text
Pearl or metallic finishSubtle shimmerA dressier, keepsake look

When possible, compare a couple of options in hand before committing, since finish makes a bigger difference in person than on screen.
