What paper stock works best for formal anniversary invitations?

For a formal anniversary, weight and texture signal that the event is worth dressing up for. Heavier, smoother stocks feel premium the moment a guest picks up the card.

• Heavy card stock such as 16pt or 32pt gives a sturdy, substantial feel that reads as formal.
• Linen texture adds a refined, tactile finish that photographs well and hides fingerprints.
• Smooth coated stock keeps type crisp and colors clean for elegant, minimal layouts.

If the celebration has a metallic or gold theme, a pearl or metallic finish carries that through without extra ink.
