Question

What paper stock works best for invitation printing?

Answer

Match the stock to the occasion. Thicker cards feel formal and substantial, while a lighter coated stock keeps casual invites polished and budget-friendly.

  • 32pt: roughly three times the thickness of a standard business card, ideal for weddings and formal events.
  • 16pt: sturdy and premium without going all the way to the heaviest stock.
  • 14pt coated: smooth, clean, and cost-effective for casual invites and larger runs.
  • Specialty options: pearl metallic and linen add texture for a memorable touch.

Compare the available stocks and finishes side by side on the product page before you order.
