Custom Invitation Printing That Sets the Tone for Any Event
Invitation printing is the first impression your event makes - before the venue, the food, or the dress code. 4OVER4 prints invitations on 60+ paper stocks with finishes that feel as good as they look. Whether you're planning a wedding, a corporate gala, or a backyard birthday, your invitation tells guests exactly what to expect.
Most people underestimate what a printed invitation does. It doesn't just share a date and address. It builds anticipation. A thick, textured card stock with a velvety soft-touch finish says "this is going to be special." A bold, glossy flat card says "let's have fun." That's the difference between something people pin to their fridge and something they toss in the recycling bin.
"We ordered 200 invitations for our annual fundraiser on pearl metallic stock. The shimmer caught everyone's attention - we had our highest RSVP rate ever."
- Monica R., ★★★★★

Invitation Styles for Every Occasion
4OVER4 carries flat invitations, folded invitations, and Custom Shaped Invitations that break away from the standard rectangle. Need something quick? Same day invitation printing is available on select products so last-minute planners don't have to panic.
Event planners and businesses ordering wholesale invitations will find competitive pricing at every quantity tier. Pair your invitations with Custom Appointment Cards or RSVP inserts for a complete event package. You can even grab another set of Free Invitations to test a design before committing to a large run.
Not a designer? No problem. Use the Online Designer to build your invitation from scratch or start with a professionally designed template. Upload your own artwork if you've already got something ready. Either way, 4OVER4 handles the heavy lifting - precision cutting, color matching, and quality checks on every order.
Cheap invitations don't have to look cheap. That's the whole point. Premium paper, vivid ink, crisp edges - at prices that make sense whether you're ordering 25 or 25,000.
Paper Stocks, Finishes, and Specs for Your Invitations
The right paper stock changes everything about how an invitation feels in someone's hands. A sturdy 16pt card stock - about the thickness of a credit card - gives your invitation a professional, big feel. Heavier options like 32pt Ultra Thick make a statement before anyone reads a single word.
4OVER4 offers 60+ paper types for invitation printing, from classic matte and glossy finishes to specialty stocks like linen, pearl metallic, and kraft. Each finish creates a different mood. Glossy pops with color. Matte feels refined. Linen adds an organic, textured touch that's perfect for rustic or garden events.
Here are the paper types, finishes, and printing attributes available for your invitations. Use this to compare options side by side and find the right match for your event's style and budget.
Designing Invitations That People Actually Keep
Great invitation printing starts with a great file. Set your document to CMYK color mode at 300 DPI for the sharpest, most accurate color reproduction. Add a 0.125" bleed on all sides if your design extends to the edge - this prevents white borders after trimming.
