Wedding Postcards

They print full color on any of 22 stocks, from 14pt gloss to linen and metallic pearl, and skip the envelope. To compare wedding postcards with the rest of the range, browse every style on postcards printing, or set up yours from the choices below.

One postcard per household sets the count: 100 cards cost $24.16 and 200 cost $31.86, about 16 cents each, against 33 cents at 50. Save-the-dates and thank-yous can come off the same ladder. The tiers below show each set total.

What Are Wedding Postcards

Wedding postcards are flat, full-color cards printed in 14 sizes, from a 2.5" x 2.5" square up to a 6" x 11", on any of 22 stocks. Couples use them across the whole timeline: save-the-dates, formal invitations, RSVP reply cards, direction and detail cards, and thank-you notes after the day. A postcard mails without an envelope, so it is quicker to send, and guests pin it to the fridge. If you want a smaller keepsake format instead, the Mini Cards cover that, and the wedding postcard sits right beside it as the version built to mail.

What Size Should a Wedding Postcard Be

Pick the size by how much the card has to say. The compact 2.5" x 2.5" square works as a token save-the-date or a slip-in detail card. A 3" x 4" or 4" x 4" gives an invitation room for the date, venue and a line of instructions. A 4" x 6" or 5" x 7" suits a photo save-the-date, and a 6" x 11" gives the largest announcement. There are 14 sizes in all, the default is 2.5" x 2.5", and the panel below lists every size, both finishes and the full stock list in the same groups the configurator uses. If you want a foil-finished announcement, the Metallic Foil Postcards go that route, and the classic Standard Postcards cover the everyday sizes.

Three choices decide how a wedding postcard feels in the hand.

Pick a stock that feels like the occasion

A heavier, textured stock gives a wedding announcement real weight in the hand. White or premium linen reads classic and formal, soft touch feels velvety, and the metallic pearl stocks in ice, champagne, silver and gold catch the light with a soft shimmer. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps a photo save-the-date crisp at a low cost, while the 24pt ultra-thick and 26pt metallic options feel heavy in the hand. A High-Gloss UV Coating brings out an engagement photo.

Round the corners for a softer look

Wedding postcards can print with square corners or rounded ones, either a 3/8" or a 1/8" inch radius, a small touch that reads gentler and more formal on a save-the-date. You set it in the configurator right alongside the stock and finish, so the shape matches the mood of the announcement.

Design it without a designer

Open a layout in our postcard design templates and set the photo, names and date in the online editor. For a save-the-date, put the engagement photo and the date on the front and the city and the wedding website on the back with 4/4 printing.

If your art is ready, skip the editor and download a blank. Each blank wedding postcard template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so nothing sits too close to the cut. Take the size that matches your order below, place your art and upload.

How Much Do Wedding Postcards Cost

Wedding postcards start at $16.48 per set of 50, and the per-postcard price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so the cost per card depends on the size of the mailing. A set of 800 runs $73.60, and by 7,000 the price is $176.61, which is about two and a half cents per postcard. There are 40 quantity tiers in all. Set your guest count on the slider below to see the set total and the per-postcard cost.

Can You Print a Name or Code on Each Postcard

Yes. Turn on variable data and you can drop a unique guest name, a table number or a one-off RSVP code onto every single postcard in the run, so each one ships personalized instead of identical. That turns a stack of announcements into a set of individual invitations, each addressed to the guest who receives it. Pair it with full color on both sides and a linen or pearl stock, and each guest gets a card with their own name on it.

How Do Wedding Postcards Compare to the Rest of the Range

Wedding postcards are the low cost mailer that skips the envelope. If you are also looking at a foil finish, a smaller keepsake or the everyday standard, the chart below lines up wedding postcards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Wedding Postcards

Wedding postcards 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. Order by the daily cutoff and a Same-Day job ships that afternoon from our NYC plant, and 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders arrive on time with 82% shipping early.
