Things to consider for wedding invitations

Budget

Sticking to common invitation dimensions will significantly help keep costs down as common printers would already have had experience printing them.

Mailing

Each country has its own minimum and maximum size requirements for standard or first class mail. Consider the weight and dimension restrictions of the countries you’re mailing it to and from.

Common wedding invitation dimensions

North America

5 x 7 inches — This is the most common invitation size.

5 ¼ x 5 ¼ inches — The square invitation is well-suited to more modern designs.

6 ½ x 8 ¾ inches — This is a slightly larger rectangle invitation.

4 x 9 ¼ inches — This slim wedding invitation is also popular and can be oriented to print vertically or horizontally.

International

Beyond North America, invitations are usually sized based on the A series or as squares. When an invitation is in the A series paper sizes, choosing an envelope to match is easy because it corresponds directly to its A series counterpart.
