Hand Your Guests the Card They Keep Until the Day
A folded wedding invitation opens like a small book, with a cover to set the tone and an inside that holds the date, the venue, and a note to your guests. It arrives closed, reads as warmer and more formal than a flat card, and ends up pinned to a fridge for months. Sets of 25 start at $38.22, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 60 reviews. Whether you are sending 25 to a small ceremony or hundreds to a full guest list, it makes the first impression do real work.
With four printable panels, the names, the ceremony and the reception each get their own space. The flat, velvet and everyday folded cards sit on invitations printing; the choices for this invitation follow below.
A set of 25 costs $38.22, about $1.53 a card, which covers a small ceremony. A full run for a large wedding costs far less per card than that first set, and the tiers below give the set total for each guest count.
What is a folded wedding invitation
A folded wedding invitation is a single printed sheet, scored down the middle, that folds into a finished card with a front, an inside, and a back. At 4OVER4 they print full color in 3 fold sizes, from an 8.5" x 5.5" sheet that closes to 4.25" x 5.5", on any of 12 stocks, with ink coverage, finish, scoring, folding, and matching envelopes all chosen on this page.
The fold gives you four panels instead of one flat face, so the date, the venue, the schedule, and a note to guests each get their own panel. The card arrives closed and opens like a small book, which reads as warmer and more formal than a flat card. You decide whether the piece ships scored and flat or pre-folded to its finished size, set the front and inside printing, pick your stock, and the price changes with each choice. For a single-panel look, the Flat Wedding Invitations are the flat version, and the non-wedding Folded Invitations use the same fold for any occasion.
What sizes do folded wedding invitations come in
4OVER4 folded wedding invitations come in 3 fold sizes: an 8.5" x 5.5" sheet that folds to 4.25" x 5.5", a 10" x 7" sheet that folds to 5" x 7", and a 12" x 6" sheet that folds to a 6" x 6" square. Each prints flat, then scores and folds down to its finished card size.
The default 8.5" x 5.5" sheet folds to a tidy 4.25" x 5.5" card, the classic invitation shape that slips into a standard envelope. Step up to the 10" x 7" sheet, which folds to a 5" x 7" card, the size most couples reach for when they want a monogram on the cover and full details inside. The 12" x 6" sheet folds to a 6" x 6" square for a more modern, oversized look. The chart below lists all 3 sizes, both finishes, and the 12 stocks.
What paper stocks and finishes can you choose
Twelve stocks run on this invitation, in four groups: a 14pt gloss cover; uncoated covers in 14pt and 18pt, with recycled 30% and 100% post-consumer options and cream uncoated in 14pt and 18pt; 14pt white linen and 18pt premium white linen; and metallic pearl in Ice, Champagne, Silver, and Gold. Finish is Standard or High Gloss UV Coating, and ink prints 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus black back, or 4/4 full color on both sides.
Start with a clean 14pt gloss cover, or a soft uncoated stock that takes a pen for handwritten notes. Choose a recycled option, 30% or 100% post-consumer waste, when a greener invitation matters to you. Reach for white linen, 14pt or a heavier 18pt premium, when you want a woven texture you can feel under a thumb. Or pick metallic pearl in Ice, Champagne, Silver, or Gold, which catches candlelight like foil without the foil price. For finish, keep it Standard or add a High Gloss UV Coating that makes a photo or a gold accent shine, and set your ink to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 depending on whether you print the inside. For an even plusher hand, Velvet Wedding Invitations carry the idea onto a soft-touch stock.
Start from a layout in our design templates and change the colors, the names and the date in the online editor, keeping the cover to the names and the date alone.
If your artwork is finished, skip the editor and download a press-ready blank. Each blank template is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design stays clear of the fold and the cut. Take the one that matches your order below, place your art, and upload.

How much do folded wedding invitations cost
Folded wedding invitations start at $38.22 for 25, and the per-card price falls at each tier toward 100,000, so the size of the guest list sets the unit cost. A run of 700 is $259.66, or roughly 37 cents each, and by 6,000 the per-card cost is down near 11 cents. Set your guest count on the slider below; it shows the set total and the per-card cost at that count, and the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
What comes with your folded wedding invitations
Every folded wedding invitation order at 4OVER4 can include matching white wove envelopes, a free online proof or a next-day hardcopy proof, and your choice of shipping scored-and-flat or pre-folded to the finished size. Ink prints full color on the front with a blank or black back, or full color on both sides.
A wedding invitation goes out with its envelope. Add matching white wove envelopes to the order and the suite arrives ready to address. Nervous about color? Choose a free online proof to check your file on screen, or a next-day hardcopy proof to hold the real stock before the full run prints. And because these are scored down the middle, you decide how they ship: scored and flat if you want to fold them yourself for a DIY touch, or pre-folded to the finished size if you want them ready to stuff. Need more than the matching set covers? Invitation Envelopes come in their own range of sizes and colors.
How do folded wedding invitations compare to the rest of the range
Folded invitations are the pick when you want a cover and four panels to work with. If you are weighing a flat single-panel card, a plusher velvet stock, or the non-wedding folded format, the chart below sets folded wedding invitations beside those siblings with the starting price of each.
How fast can you get folded wedding invitations printed
Standard production is 5 business days, which keeps the price lowest and suits most couples planning ahead. If the date sneaks up, four faster tiers stack on top: 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, and Next-Day, with Same-Day printing for the true emergency. Order by the daily cutoff and a same-day job ships that afternoon from our NYC plant. 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders arrive on time and 82% ship early, so you are not gambling the save-the-date on a guess. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.

Seeing the Stock Before the Full Run
Twelve stocks read very differently in a hand, and a screen will not tell you whether the cream uncoated or the 18pt premium white linen is the one. Two checks are built into the order. The free online proof sends back a digital preview, which catches a wrong date or a misspelled name before the press runs. The next-day hardcopy proof goes further and mails you the real thing, printed on the stock you picked, so you can feel the linen weave or the metallic pearl in Champagne before committing to a full guest list. Couples deciding between a coated gloss and a soft uncoated sheet usually take the hardcopy proof, because the difference between those two is entirely in the hand. Set the proof choice in the configurator alongside the stock.
What Goes on Each Panel of the Fold
A folded invitation gives you four panels where a flat card gives one face, and the wording lands better when each panel holds one idea. The front cover carries the names and the date, nothing else, because it is the panel a guest sees first and it sets the tone. Inside left holds the ceremony, the venue and the time. Inside right holds the reception, the dress note and anything about parking or travel. The back panel is the quiet one, and it suits a monogram, a website address or a short line of thanks. Set the ink to 4/4 for full color on both sides when the inside is printed, or 4/1 for a black back, and choose scoring and folding in the same place.
Folded Wedding Invitations: Frequently Asked Questions
How many folded wedding invitations do I need to order?
Sets start at 25, priced from $38.22, and the per-card cost falls as the count rises, with quantities running up to 100,000. Ordering a few above your guest count is common, since a small top-up run later costs more per card than adding them to the first order. Remember that one invitation usually covers a couple or a household rather than one guest.
Are there recycled paper options for wedding invitations?
Yes. The 12 stocks include recycled 30% and recycled 100% PCW, alongside gloss and uncoated covers, cream uncoated, white linen, and metallic pearl in Ice, Champagne, Silver and Gold. The recycled uncoated stocks have a natural surface that suits a garden or outdoor ceremony.
How much space does the fold give me for wording?
The fold gives you four panels instead of one flat face, so the cover, the date and venue, and a note to guests each get room without being crammed together. Printing is available full color on the front with a blank or black back, or full color on both sides.
Can I check a proof before the invitations run?
Yes, proof options are part of the order setup, so you can review the file as it will print before it goes on press. This matters more on invitations than on almost anything else, because a wrong date or a misspelled name means reprinting the entire set.
What is the largest invitation size, and is a square invitation a good idea?
The largest of the 3 fold sizes is a 12 by 6 inch sheet that folds to a 6 by 6 inch square, and the smallest is an 8.5 by 5.5 inch sheet folding to 4.25 by 5.5 inches. Square shapes look striking but are handled differently by postal carriers, so confirm the mailing rules for a square envelope before you commit to that format.
What if I am running late on the invitation timeline?
Standard turnaround is 5 business days, with 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day and Same-Day rush speeds. Those speeds cover production only, so add shipping transit plus the time you need to address and mail the set when you count back from the date guests should receive them.
Do folded wedding invitations come with envelopes?
Matching white wove envelopes are an add-on in the configurator, so the suite arrives ready to address instead of sending you hunting for a size that fits. Add them with the order and every card has its envelope in the box. If you want a size or a color beyond what the matching set covers, Invitation Envelopes come in their own range.
Can the invitations ship flat instead of folded?
Yes. These print flat and score down the middle, and you decide how they leave us. Choose scored and flat if you want to fold them yourself for a handmade touch, or pre-folded to the finished size if you want them ready to stuff into envelopes the day they land. Both options sit in the configurator next to the size and the stock.
