Wedding invitation maker

Start with a wedding template and make it yours: an elegant script for your names, a clean serif or sans-serif for the details, and your wedding colors as solid fills or soft gradients. Add an engagement photo in an arch, circle or rounded frame, or keep the card all-type for a classic look.

Save your colors, fonts and a monogram or logo in the brand kit. Then every new piece, from the save the date and RSVP card to the details card, program, table numbers and thank-you notes, can pick up the same look with one click on apply brand colors.

Any design can switch to another size and the layout adapts automatically, so a 5 × 7 in invitation becomes a 4 × 6 in RSVP card or a welcome sign in seconds. Save the project file to keep working on another device or to hand it to your partner.

Traditional wording follows a simple order: host line, request line, couple, date and time, venue, reception line.

Hosted by the bride's parents Mr. and Mrs. Robert Miller request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Emily Anne to James Carter...

Hosted by the couple Together with their families, Emily Miller and James Carter invite you to celebrate their marriage...

Casual We're getting married! Join Emily and James for dinner, dancing and a few happy tears.

Two conventions are worth knowing. The honour of your presence is traditionally used for a ceremony in a house of worship, and the pleasure of your company for other venues. Formal invitations spell out the date and time, for example Saturday, the twelfth of September, two thousand twenty-six, at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Piece	When to send
Save the date	6 to 8 months before; 8 to 12 months for a destination wedding
Invitation	6 to 8 weeks before
RSVP deadline	3 to 4 weeks before the wedding
Thank-you cards	As soon as you can after the wedding, ideally within three months

These are common US etiquette guidelines, not hard rules. Give guests more time for holiday weekends or travel.

Keep the main invitation clean and move the extra information to a separate details card, usually 4 × 6 in or smaller: directions, parking, hotel blocks, the reception venue if it differs, and your wedding website.

Traditional etiquette keeps registry information off the invitation itself; put it on your website or details card instead. Likewise, the names on the envelope tell guests who is invited, so you do not need to write adults only on the invitation.

For RSVPs, choose one clear method:

• A mailed reply card with the deadline, a line for names and meal choices if you offer them.
• Your own RSVP page: if you already use a wedding website or form elsewhere, print its address. This editor makes the card only; it does not collect replies. Add the address in short form, or as a QR code made with the QR code generator, and test-scan a printed copy.

A dress code line, such as Black tie optional or Garden attire, belongs at the bottom of the invitation or on the details card.

Piece	Size
Invitation	5 × 7 in, fits an A7 envelope
Save the date	4 × 6 in or 5 × 7 in
RSVP or details card	4 × 6 in, or a custom size such as 3.5 × 5 in
Square invitation	148 × 148 mm (about 5.8 in)
Digital save the date	1080 × 1920 px for texting, 1080 × 1350 px for social
Welcome sign	18 × 24 in poster

Print sizes include a 3 mm (about 1/8 in) bleed, and the editor shows the trim line and safe zone. A heavy cover stock in matte or a cotton finish feels the most like traditional stationery.

Download the PDF for your printer: it is 300 dpi with bleed and crop marks. If your printer prefers vector files, export SVG with the fonts embedded.

Before you print a full run:

• Proofread out loud: names, the date, the day of the week (check it matches the calendar), the venue address and the RSVP deadline.
• Order or print one sample to check colors and paper.
• Take a complete, stuffed envelope to the post office. Heavy suites and square envelopes often need extra postage.

Everything happens in your browser, so your names, photos and venue details stay private on your device. For a shower or engagement party, see the invitation maker.
