Sizes, Paper Stocks, and Printing Specs

Baptism Invitations from 4OVER4 come in a variety of configurations to match your ceremony's style and your mailing needs. Here are the complete specifications and available options for your order:

Choosing the right paper weight matters. A thicker stock - like 16pt, which is about the thickness of a credit card - gives your Baptism Invitations a rigid, premium feel that recipients notice immediately. Thinner stocks work well when you're mailing in standard envelopes and want to keep postage costs down.

Need your invitations fast? Here's what to expect for production and turnaround:

• Same Day
• 2 Business Days
• 3 Business Days

Every specification is designed to give you flexibility. Whether you need a small batch of 25 for an intimate family gathering or 500+ for a large parish event, 4OVER4 prints Baptism Invitations to exact specs with consistent color accuracy across the entire run.

Paper and Card Stock Options for Your Baptism Invitations

The paper you choose changes everything about how your Baptism Invitations feel in someone's hands. A smooth, coated stock delivers vivid colors and sharp photo reproduction. An uncoated stock gives you a softer, more organic texture - perfect for watercolor-style designs or hand-lettered calligraphy.

4OVER4 offers a range of paper types for Baptism Invitations. Here's what to consider:

• Coated Card Stock - Smooth surface with a slight sheen. Colors pop. Great for designs with photos of the baby or detailed illustrations.
• Uncoated Card Stock - A natural, matte texture that's easy to write on. Ideal if you want to add handwritten notes or calligraphy to each invitation.
• Pearl/Metallic Stock - A subtle shimmer woven into the paper itself. Catches light beautifully and adds a touch of elegance without any extra finishing.
• Kraft Stock - Earthy, rustic, and warm. Works well for outdoor or garden-themed baptism celebrations.

Thicker stocks feel more big and durable. If you're handing invitations directly to guests at church, a sturdy card stock tells them this event is worth showing up for. If you're mailing them, consider how the weight affects postage.

"We went with the uncoated stock for our son's baptism invitations because we wanted to hand-address each one. The texture was perfect for our calligraphy pen, and the print quality was still sharp."

- David L., ★★★★★

4OVER4 prints on premium materials sourced for consistency and color fidelity. Every sheet goes through quality checks before your Baptism Invitations ship, so what you see in your proof is what you get in the box.

Finish Options That Make Baptism Invitations Unforgettable

The right finish turns a good invitation into one people keep on their fridge for months. 4OVER4 offers several finishing options for Baptism Invitations, each adding a different tactile and visual quality to your printed piece.

• Gloss Finish - A shiny, reflective coating that makes colors appear more saturated and photos look crisp. Eye-catching under any lighting.
• Matte Finish - Smooth with zero glare. Gives Baptism Invitations a modern, understated elegance. Easy to read in any light.
• Soft-Touch Lamination - A velvety texture that feels luxurious between your fingers. Guests will notice the difference the moment they pick it up.
• Spot UV - A glossy accent applied to specific areas of your design, like a cross, monogram, or border. Creates a striking contrast against matte backgrounds.

4OVER4 applies each finish with precision so your Baptism Invitations look polished and professional. Combining finishes - like a matte base with spot UV accents - creates depth and dimension that flat printing can't match. It's a small detail that makes a big impression.

Who Orders Baptism Invitations - and How They Use Them

Baptism Invitations aren't just for families. A wide range of people and organizations rely on professionally printed invitations to announce these celebrations. Here's how different groups put them to work:

Families Planning a Christening or Dedication

Parents and grandparents order Baptism Invitations to formally invite loved ones to the ceremony. A printed invitation carries more weight than a text or email. It says, "This matters to us, and we want you there." Most family orders range from 25 to 100 invitations.

Churches and Parishes

Many churches hold group baptisms - sometimes monthly, sometimes seasonally. Parish coordinators order Baptism Invitations in bulk to distribute to families or to announce community-wide events. 4OVER4's volume pricing makes large runs cost-effective.

Event Planners and Coordinators

Professional event planners handling religious celebrations order custom Baptism Invitations as part of a coordinated stationery suite. They'll often match the invitation design to programs, thank-you cards, and table signage for a cohesive look.

Religious Education Programs

Godparents and Extended Family

It's not uncommon for godparents or grandparents to take charge of the invitations as a gift. They'll order a premium finish or specialty paper to make the invitation itself a keepsake.

Preparing Your Baptism Invitation Artwork for Print

Getting your Baptism Invitations file right the first time saves you time and avoids reprints. Here's what 4OVER4 needs:

• File format: PDF, AI, PSD, or EPS
• Color mode: CMYK (not RGB - RGB colors shift during printing)
• Resolution: 300 DPI minimum for sharp, crisp text and images
• Bleed: Add 0.125" bleed on all sides to prevent white edges after trimming
• Safe zone: Keep important text and design elements at least 0.125" inside the trim line

Convert all fonts to outlines before uploading. This prevents font substitution issues. If you're unsure about your file, 4OVER4 provides a free proof so you can review everything before printing begins.
