Question

What's the difference between matte and glossy finish for wedding invitations?

Answer

Matte and gloss both feel premium, they just handle light and color differently, and many couples end up using both across the suite.

FinishBest for
MatteSoft, elegant, glare-free look that is easy to write on, ideal for formal, text-forward pieces and RSVP cards
GlossVivid color, added depth, and sharp photos on photo-heavy or graphic-forward designs
  • Main invitation: matte or uncoated for an elegant, writable surface with no glare.
  • Photo-heavy inserts: gloss to make images pop.
