Question
What's the difference between flat and folded invitations?
Answer
The choice between flat and folded comes down to how much you need to say. Both formats print on the same premium stocks, they just handle content differently.
| Flat | Folded | |
|---|---|---|
| Panels | Single card, single or double-sided | Up to four panels |
| Best for | Clean, simple details | Event details, maps, RSVP instructions, personal notes |
| Cost | Lower, budget-friendly | Higher |
| Feel | Minimal and direct, reads clean and modern | More substantial and formal when guests open it |
Flat cards also pair naturally with a matching insert or RSVP card, while folded formats give you room for directions, registry details, or a personal note inside.
