Common Invitation & Envelope Sizes

envelope

A7 or A9? Baronial? What size are invitations?

We get asked these questions a lot at DIY Bride and no wonder. Learning to make an invitation or other stationery for the first time can be a little confusing. The world of invitation design requires a whole new vocabulary. We’re here to help you make sense of it all with our quick invite and envelope size guide.

Invitation Sizes

Invites can be any size you’d like. In fact, it’s a lot of fun to make – and receive – odd-sized invites for a little somthing different. And we looove different. The only drawback to creating an offsize invite is finding an envelope that’ll fit. (In an upcoming tutorial we’ll be showing you how to create your own envelopes.) Staying within standard envelope sizes will ensure you’ll be able to find a envelope that’ll fit your design and offer you a wide selection of choices of color and texture.
