Printing YOUR INVITATION, RESPONSE AND RECEPTION CARDS

Here are some general tips for formatting your invitation, response and reception cards in a word processing or publishing program.  Refer to your printer manual for the correct way to load the card stock.

If you're using our Free Wedding Invitation Templates, you do not need to follow these instructions.  Simply add in your own text and print.

Before printing on the actual card stock, make copies and test your layouts on the practice sheet included with your cards.

Layout for the invitation card Set the page to print "landscape", or 11" wide and 8 1/2" from top to bottom.  See the measurements listed below for setting your margins and tabs.  These settings help ensure that you print within the embossed edges of the cards.  Check the set-up using the "Print Preview" function of your software.
