The short answer: if you already have a finished design, upload it to an online printer that prints from a small quantity and shows the delivered price. At InviteBatch, 20 square invitations with envelopes are $25.44 delivered in the UK, from 1 card, printed in 1–3 working days. A local print shop is the pick when you need cards the same day, and a large online printer when you want special papers or foil.
Upload your invitation, we print and post it
From 1 card. 6×4″, 7×5″ or square, matte or gloss, envelopes if you want. See the delivered price before you pay. UK, US, Canada and EU delivery.

How to order printed invitations online
- Export your design as a PDF (best) or a PNG/JPG. From Canva: Share → Download → PDF Print.
- Upload it on the print page. It appears on a real-size card with the trim line and safe area.
- Choose the size, how many, one or both sides, matte or gloss, and envelopes.
- Check the proof and pay by card or PayPal. We print in 1–3 working days and post it to you.
Which card should I pick?
- Wedding: 7×5″ premium matte with envelopes is the classic UK choice. Square cards feel modern.
- Party or birthday: 6×4″ gloss is bright and good value. See party invitations and birthday invitations.
- Running late? See fast invitation printing.
When another option is better
- You need them today: use a local print shop.
- You want foil, letterpress, die-cut shapes or folded cards: use a specialist stationer or a large online printer.
- You want each guest's name printed on their own card: our print service prints one design for every card. To make a named card for each guest, see invitations with guest names. It gives you a print-ready PDF for every guest.
