Anniversary Invitations

What Are Anniversary Invitations

Anniversary invitations are flat cards that announce a wedding, business, or milestone anniversary celebration, printed full color in 3 sizes from a 4.25" x 5.5" classic up to a 6" x 6" square, on any of 20 stocks. You set the size, choose the ink coverage, pick a stock, and the card is ready to mail. Because the moment matters, people tend to keep these on display rather than toss them, which is exactly the point of a printed invitation over a text message.

Anniversary invitations sit inside a deep family of celebration cards. If you are marking a wedding milestone, the Wedding Invitations share the same sizes and stocks, and for a couple just starting out the Engagement Party Invitations are the natural companion. For a retirement or career milestone, the Retirement Party Invitations carry the same build.

Milestone Anniversary Invitations: 25th, 40th, 50th and 60th

Every milestone carries its own color and its own tone, and the stock list here covers all four without a special order.

25th, silver

The wording is usually warm rather than formal: the couple's names, twenty-five years, and an invitation to celebrate with them. Silver metallic pearl is the obvious stock, and the 5" x 7" gives a photograph from the wedding room to breathe. For a casual afternoon party the 4.25" x 5.5" classic does the job at a lower cost per card.

40th, ruby

Forty years reads as a family event more than a party, so the wording tends to name the hosts, usually the children, inviting guests to honour their parents. Deep red on a white linen or cream uncoated stock carries the ruby convention without printing a ruby.

50th, gold

The most formal of the four. Full names, the original wedding date and the new date, a start time and an RSVP with a deadline, since a golden anniversary is usually a seated meal. Gold metallic pearl, or the 24pt ultra thick stock if you want the card to feel like an announcement the moment it is picked up. The 5" x 7" suits a formal invitation; the 6" x 6" square suits a modern one.

60th, diamond

Sixty years is often a family gathering rather than a large event, and the wording says so plainly, with a note about gifts if the couple would rather have none. A bright metallic pearl or soft touch stock reads as diamond without the card shouting, and a High Gloss UV Coating over a metallic stock is the loudest version if you want one.

All four print on the same three sizes, 4.25" x 5.5", 5" x 7" and 6" x 6", plus a custom size up to 6" x 7", full color on the front with a blank or black back or on both sides.

What Sizes Do Anniversary Invitations Come In

4OVER4 anniversary invitations come in 3 set sizes: a 4.25" x 5.5" classic, a 5" x 7" standard, and a 6" x 6" square, with the 4.25" x 5.5" set as the default. You can also set a custom size up to 6" x 7", and the price follows the size you pick. The 4.25" x 5.5" slips into a standard envelope, the 5" x 7" leaves room for a photo and a note, and the square reads modern in a stack of rectangles. All 3 sizes, both finishes, and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make an anniversary invitation look sharp. Start from a professionally built layout in our design templates, then change the names, dates, colors, and photo in the online editor in minutes. Pick a warm serif for a golden anniversary or a clean modern face for a company milestone, and the template keeps your spacing and bleed correct.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

What Paper Stocks and Finishes Can You Choose

The stock is what makes an anniversary card feel like an occasion. The list runs 20 deep. Start with everyday 14pt or 16pt gloss and uncoated covers, or reach for the 24pt ultra thick gloss when you want real weight in the hand. White linen and premium linen add a woven texture you can feel with your fingertips, recycled kraft and cream uncoated read warm and natural, and the metallic pearl stocks in ice, champagne, silver, and gold catch light like foil without the foil price. There is even a 10pt StarLustre platinum for a subtle shimmer.

For finishes you pick Standard or a High Gloss UV Coating that makes a photo or a gold detail snap, and you set your ink coverage to 4/0 for the front only, 4/1 to add black on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. Print the details on the back and the card earns its keep as a keepsake.

How Much Do Anniversary Invitations Cost

Anniversary invitations start at $19.77 per set of 25, about 79 cents a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheaper invitation really comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 700 runs $106.55, and a full 100,000-card run lands at $2,255.62, roughly 2 cents each, across 41 quantity tiers in all. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

Do Anniversary Invitations Come With Envelopes

Yes. You do not have to source envelopes separately. Choose the matching white wove envelope option in the configurator and they ship right alongside your invitations, sized to the card. If you want a softer look, add rounded corners at a 3/8" or 1/8" radius. And before anything prints, you decide how careful to be: go straight to production to move fast, request a free online proof to check your file on screen, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to hold the real thing first.

If you need standalone or extra envelopes to match a mixed set, the Invitation Envelopes are their own product, and the classic Invitation Cards cover the same build in a general-purpose card.

Order the envelopes with the cards and the whole set arrives together, sized to the card you picked, so nothing has to be matched up afterwards from a stationery shop. If you would rather buy the envelopes on their own, or you need more of them than cards, see invitation envelopes for the matching sizes and blank envelopes when you are addressing and printing them yourself.

Two things to settle before you order. First, the 6" x 6" square card wants a square envelope rather than a standard one, so check the pairing before you post rather than after. Second, if you are addressing several hundred by hand, that job goes faster with envelopes you can run through a printer, which is the case for buying them separately.

How Do Anniversary Invitations Compare to Other Invitations

Anniversary invitations are the value pick when you want a milestone card that keeps its price low, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a folded style, a heavier premium stock, or a themed sibling, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up anniversary invitations against their closest relatives so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Anniversary Invitations Printed

Anniversary invitations print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day, or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same Day orders need to be approved by the daily cutoff to ship that day. Compare every turnaround tier and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick, and know that every 4OVER4 order is backed by the five Gold Standard guarantees.

See the Rest of Our Invitations

Anniversary invitations are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range or the complete invitations printing family any time. If a folded card, a metallic finish, or a themed occasion would serve you better, the rest of the range is one tap away. Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.

Compare the formats before you order: invitation cards for the flat single-sided card, folded invitations when the order of the evening needs an inside page, and the full range on invitations printing.

How to Keep an Anniversary Invitation Cheap

Three levers move the price on this card, and none of them change how it reads from the front.

• The count: 25 cards are $19.77, about 79 cents each. 700 are $106.55, and the ladder runs 41 tiers to 100,000, where a card is roughly 2 cents.
• The back: 4/0 leaves it blank and costs least. 4/1 adds black type, which is usually enough for the address and the RSVP line, and 4/4 prints it in full color.
• The stock: the everyday 14pt and 16pt gloss and uncoated covers carry a full color print perfectly well. The 24pt ultra thick and the metallic pearl shades are the ones that read expensive, and the live total shows what each adds.

The finish is the last lever. Standard costs less than a High Gloss UV Coating, and on a linen or kraft card the shine is not what you picked the paper for.
