Picking Your Printed Invitation Size
When it comes to invitations, the sky is the limit, although budget and practical considerations normally dictate specific invitation sizes. You can, for example, send out a huge poster with a beautiful picture as your invitation, something your friends could hang on their wall, but most people choose a custom printed C6 envelope with an A6 invitation printed to fit in it. You could print the invitation and the RSVP card as two separate pieces, or the same, but as a perforated and folded A5 invitation size.
Here are a number of popular wedding invitation card and their matching envelope sizes.
| Invitation Size | Dimensions | Invitation Envelope Size | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact A6 | 105 x 148mm | Envelope C6 | 114 x 162mm |
| Standard A7 | 74 x 105mm | Envelope C7 | 81 x 114mm |
| Square | 127 x 127mm | Envelope | 134 x 134mm |
| DL | 99 x 210mm | Envelope | 108 x 219mm |
| Large A5 | 148 x 210mm | Envelope C5 | 162 x 229mm |
