With PrintFetch, you can submit your print-job requirements and receive quotes from printers matched to your specification, helping you compare your options before choosing a supplier.
Printed Invitations Every Type of Event
Printed invitations help set expectations for an event before guests arrive. They provide the practical details people need while also giving you an opportunity to reflect the style, purpose and level of formality of the occasion.
The right invitation specification can vary considerably between events. A formal wedding invitation may have very different design and material requirements from a children's birthday party invitation, while invitations for corporate events may need to follow established company branding.
When preparing an invitation print order, think about the purpose of the invitation, the number of recipients, the information that needs to be included and the presentation you want to achieve.

Get StartedWedding Invitations
Wedding invitations often form one of the first physical elements guests receive in connection with a wedding. The design, format and print specification can therefore help establish the style of the occasion.
When arranging your wedding invitation printing, consider how much information needs to appear on the invitation and whether it will form part of a wider stationery set.
Some couples may require a straightforward single-piece invitation, while others may want additional printed pieces containing information about the venue, accommodation, transport, menu choices or RSVP details.
Your chosen specification should therefore reflect both the design and the amount of information you need to communicate.
When requesting quotes for wedding invites, provide printers with as much information about your required finished format, quantity, material and any finishing requirements as possible. This makes it easier for suppliers to quote accurately for the job.
Party Invitations
A printed party invitation can be used for private celebrations, anniversaries, engagements, seasonal events, launches and many other occasions.
The appropriate format will depend on the event itself. Informal party invitations may prioritise eye-catching artwork and simple event information, while invitations for more formal celebrations may require a different presentation.
Before submitting your printing requirements, check that your artwork clearly communicates essential details such as:
- The event
- Date and time
- Venue
- RSVP information
- Any dress code or attendance instructions
- Any other information guests need before attending
The quantity should also be based on the number of invitations required rather than simply the number of attendees, as couples, families or groups may receive one invitation between them.
Birthday Invitations
Printed birthday invitations are suitable for children's parties, milestone birthdays, surprise celebrations and more formal birthday events.
A birthday party invitation should make important event information easy to identify while giving you enough space for the design you want to use.
Before requesting a printing quote, decide approximately how many invitations you need and check whether the invitation will contain all of the event information or whether additional printed material is required.
Planning the specification first helps printers understand exactly what needs to be produced and allows you to compare quotations for the same requirement.
Invitations for Corporate Events
Invitations for corporate events can be used for product launches, networking events, conferences, award ceremonies, company celebrations, hospitality events and other business occasions.
Unlike many personal invitations, corporate invitation designs often need to work within existing brand guidelines. Logos, brand colours, typography and the overall presentation may therefore be important considerations when preparing the artwork.
A clear invitation for events should also communicate practical information efficiently. Depending on the event, this could include:
- Date and time
- Venue
- Event schedule
- RSVP details
- Registration information
- Dress code
- Contact details
- Guest instructions
For business events involving a larger mailing list or several invitation variations, provide those requirements clearly as part of your print specification.
How to Choose the Right Invitations
There is no single invitation format that is right for every occasion. The most suitable option depends on how the invitation will be used, the artwork and your presentation requirements.
Consider the Event
Start with the type of occasion.
Wedding stationery may call for a different presentation from birthday or party invitations. Corporate invitations may place greater emphasis on brand consistency and concise event information.
Decide What Information You Need to Include
Consider your content before finalising the artwork.
A simple party invitation may need only a few lines of information. A wedding or business event could require substantially more detail.
Trying to fit too much information into a small design can affect readability, so the finished format should work with the amount of content you need.
Choose Your Quantity Carefully
Calculate how many physical invitations will actually be distributed.
For private events, this may be different from the total number of guests. For business events, your quantity might instead relate to a customer, prospect, employee or stakeholder mailing list.
It can also be useful to account for replacements, late additions or additional guests when establishing the quantity you want printers to quote for.
Think About Material and Finish
Paper or card choice can influence the appearance, feel and presentation of a printed invitation.
Finishing requirements can also affect how the invitation looks and how it needs to be manufactured.
Because materials and finishing capabilities vary between suppliers and specifications, include your exact requirements when requesting prices rather than assuming the same options apply to every invitation job.
Check the Finished Size
Your invitation needs enough room for the artwork and essential information without becoming difficult to distribute, handle or store.
If envelopes or other accompanying printed items are part of your project, consider how the finished pieces will work together before confirming the specification.
What Affects Invitation Printing Prices?
The cost of printing invitations can vary according to the exact specification of the job.
Factors that may influence quotations include the quantity required, finished dimensions, material or stock, printed sides, artwork requirements, finishing and required delivery date.
Production requirements can also affect which printer is best suited to manufacture a particular job efficiently.
This is why comparing like-for-like quotations is important. Make sure each supplier is pricing the same specification before making your decision.
PrintFetch is designed around this principle: customers submit their print specification, the platform matches the requirement with suitable printers, and returned quotes can then be compared using criteria including price, delivery and supplier ratings.
Compare Invitation Printing Quotes with PrintFetch
Instead of approaching printers individually, PrintFetch enables you to submit your printing requirements and have your specification matched with suppliers suited to producing the job.
For invitation printing, providing a detailed specification is particularly useful because requirements can vary considerably between weddings, parties, birthdays and corporate events.
Include as much relevant information as possible about your quantity, dimensions, materials and finishing requirements so printers can understand the job you need produced.
Once quotations are returned, you can compare the available options and choose a supplier according to the criteria that matter to your order.
Why can prices for invitation printing vary?
Invitation printing prices can vary because specifications differ. Quantity, dimensions, materials, printing requirements, finishing and delivery requirements can all affect how a particular job needs to be produced.
