Send an Invitation Shaped Like the Occasion
A shaped invitation is the one guests keep instead of dropping in the recycling. Rather than a flat rectangle lost in a stack of mail, it is a card cut to match the moment, a heart for a wedding, a circle for a birthday, an arch for a grand opening, the kind people prop on a shelf. Announcing a wedding, opening a store, or launching a product, the shape does half the work before a single word is read. Shaped invitations start at $185.63 for a set of 50, about $3.71 a card, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 17 reviews.
A heart tells guests it is a wedding and a circle says birthday before they open the envelope, and an outline they can hold is one they keep. Flat, folded and glitter invitations are on invitations printing.
A birthday party of 30 fits inside the first set of 50, with spares. A wedding of 200 guests or a grand opening mailing orders 500, where each card drops to about 63 cents, and a product launch mailed in the thousands goes lower again.
What Are Shaped Invitations
Shaped invitations are custom die-cut invitation cards, printed full color in 3 sizes from 5" x 5" up to 6" x 6", on any of 27 stocks, and cut to a shape you choose from 76 die-cut trims. People reach for them when a flat card would get lost: weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, grand openings, product launches, and holiday parties. Because the outline is unexpected, the card gets handled and kept instead of filed and forgotten. If you want the familiar rectangle instead, the flat Invitation Cards cover that, and the shaped version sits right beside it as the one that stands out on the table.
What Size and Shape Should a Shaped Invitation Be
Start with the size. The default 5" x 5" square suits most events, the 5" x 7" gives a taller card room for a full agenda, and the 6" x 6" reads large on a table. Outside those, a custom size runs from 5" x 5" up to 6" x 7", made to order. Then choose the cut from 76 die-cut trims: a circle for a birthday, an arch for an opening, a scalloped edge for a shower, or a silhouette of the occasion itself. If your event calls for a fold instead of a cut, the Folded Invitations open to more room inside.
How Much Do Shaped Invitations Cost
Shaped invitations start at $185.63 per set of 50, about $3.71 a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000. A run of 500 is $314.80, or $0.63 each, 1,000 run $484.39, and a 6,000-card order lands at $1,315.86, roughly $0.22 a card. Count the households on your guest list, add a few for keepsakes, set the slider below to that number, and read the set total and the per-card cost.
Wally cuts your invitation into any shape
Why a die-cut invitation gets kept, not tossed.
A set of 50 shaped invitations starts at $185.63, and the custom die-cut shape makes people prop them on a shelf instead of the recycling. Pick a shape from 76 cuts, choose from 27 stocks, set your size, and Wally prints them in as fast as Next-Day.
What Stocks and Finishes Are Available
Twenty-seven stocks are on the list. A party invitation runs well on everyday 14pt or 16pt gloss cover, and a wedding card on 14pt or 18pt linen, which gives the cut edge a woven texture. Metallic pearl in ice, champagne, silver or gold gives a shine close to foil for less, the silk and velvet laminated covers feel soft in the hand, and a save the date on the 17pt indoor magnet stays on the fridge until the day, with synthetic plastic and 18pt rigid vinyl for a card that takes handling. Finish it plain with a Standard coat or make photos and color pop with a High-Gloss UV Coating, and set your ink to 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus black back, or 4/4 full color on both sides.
How Do Shaped Invitations Compare to Other Invitations
Shaped invitations are the pick when the shape itself should carry the theme. If you are weighing a flat card, a folded one, or a glitter finish, the chart below lines up shaped invitations against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose. For a sparkle finish rather than a cut, the Diamond Glitter Invitations are worth a look.
How Fast Can You Get Shaped Invitations
Shaped invitations print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, or even Next-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. Because these are die-cut, a proof matters. You can send the file straight to production or request a free online proof to confirm the shape and layout before the cut runs. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick. Invitations usually go out weeks before the event, so most orders run on the standard 5 days and keep the rush for a date that moved.

Shaped Invitations: Frequently Asked Questions
What shapes can a custom invitation be cut into?
There are 76 die-cut shapes to choose from, including circles, hearts, arches and other silhouettes that suit an event. You select the outline under Diecut Trim during setup. The shape is what most guests notice before they read the wording, so pick it to match the occasion rather than the artwork.
What sizes do shaped invitations come in?
There are 3 sizes, from 5 inches by 5 inches up to 6 inches by 6 inches, plus a custom size made to order up to 6 inches by 7 inches. The die-cut outline is trimmed inside whichever size you pick, so a bold shape on the smaller size leaves less room for text. Set your type layout after choosing the size and shape together.
How much do 50 shaped invitations cost?
A set of 50 starts at $185.63, which is about $3.71 per card. The per card price drops as the run climbs, with tiers going all the way to 25,000. Wedding and grand opening lists usually sit in the lower tiers, so compare a couple of quantities before committing.
Which stocks work best for a wedding or a formal event?
There are 27 stocks, including gloss, uncoated, kraft, linen, metallic pearl, silk and velvet laminated, synthetic plastic, rigid vinyl, and indoor magnet. Linen and metallic pearl read formal in the hand, while velvet lamination gives a soft surface. A save the date meant to stay on a fridge is the case for the indoor magnet stock.
Can I see how the shape crops my design before it prints?
Yes, Proof Options are part of the order flow so you can review the file before production starts. This matters on a shaped card because the die removes area from the corners and edges, and centered text can end up closer to the cut than it looked on screen. Keep names and dates well inside the outline.
How long do shaped invitations take to print?
Standard production is 5 business days, with 2 day and Next-Day rush available if the mailing date is close. Shaped invitations are rated 4.9 out of 5 across 17 reviews. Add your addressing and mailing time on top of production when you plan the send date.
