How to print your wedding stationery
Your downloaded suite is ready for a printer: every piece is sized, bled and resolved for print. Below are the specs for each piece, paper suggestions and a message you can send your printer as it is.

Each print file is 3 mm larger than the finished piece on every side. That margin is the bleed: the background runs into it, so a slightly off cut never leaves a white edge. Words and people sit inside a 5 mm safe area (10 mm on the welcome sign). The download includes a ZIP of every file and one PDF of the suite.
What to tell your printer
These are print files for wedding stationery. Each file includes 3 mm bleed on every side; please trim to the finished size marked for each piece. Please print one proof first so I can check the colors before the full run.
Which paper
- Invitation, save the date, thank-you, venue card and table numbersA heavier card feels right in the hand: 300–350 gsm (about 110–130 lb cover) silk, matte or textured card is common; the ink-and-wash drawings look softest on matte.
- Welcome sign (A2)Printed on photo or poster paper and mounted on foam board for an easel; for an outdoor wedding, rigid PVC stands up to damp.
- Phone invitationNot printed: send it by message.
Print one proof first
A screen glows and paper does not: very light colors can print a little greyer than they look on screen, and papers and printers differ. Print one invitation front, check the colors and the size of the words, then print the rest. To change a word, the layout or the colors, do it free on the result page for 30 days after delivery and download again.
