Question

What paper stocks can I choose for invitations?

Answer

You can choose from a wide range of paper stocks for invitations, ranging from everyday coated options to premium textured papers. Each one changes the look and hand-feel of the finished piece.

TierExamples
Standard14pt gloss, 14pt matte
Premium32pt Ultra Thick, linen, pearl metallic, kraft
  • Coated stocks make color pop, while uncoated and textured stocks feel softer and are easier to write on.
  • Heavier weights read as more formal and hold up better in the mail.

As a guide, 32pt suits weddings, 16pt feels sturdy, and 14pt coated is the budget pick.

Options include 14pt White Linen and 18pt Premium White Linen, 15pt Metallic Pearl in Ice, Champagne or Gold, 13pt Metallic Pearl Silver, 10pt StarLustre Platinum, and 16pt velvet or silk laminated cover on the specialty invitation pages. Many invitation pages let you add matching white wove envelopes. Pricing shifts with the stock you pick, and the product page lists every option.
