Designing Your A7 Wedding Invitations & Announcements - Folding Cards
The additional space provided by a folded A7 card makes it possible to include more information while maintaining a convenient 5" x 7" finished size. For Wedding Invitations, the inside can include ceremony and reception details, RSVP information, a wedding website or QR code, dress code, registry information, photographs, or other details your guests may need. For additional guidance, see our Wedding Invitations & Save the Date Cards guide.
A7 Folding Cards can also be customized for graduations, baby showers, bridal showers, engagement announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events, and other occasions. Use photographs, colors, typography, illustrations, logos, decorative elements, or personalized wording to create an invitation that fits the style of your event.

What to Include on an A7 Invitation
The information included on an A7 invitation will depend on the type of event. Wedding Invitations commonly include the names of the couple, wedding date, ceremony time, venue, location, reception information, RSVP instructions, and a wedding website or QR code.
For graduations, baby showers, bridal showers, engagement announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and other events, include the important information your guests need to know, such as the event date, time, location, RSVP information, dress code, or other special instructions.
A7 Folding Cards provide additional interior space for more detailed event information, photographs, maps, QR codes, or other design elements that may not fit comfortably on a flat A7 card. Before approving your invitation for printing, carefully check names, dates, times, addresses, RSVP information, and other important details for accuracy.

A7 Folding Cards are typically produced within 24–48 business hours, excluding weekends and holidays. Production time begins after final proof approval when graphic design services are provided, or after your order is completed when you provide press-ready artwork.
We ship nationwide via UPS Ground, 2nd Day or Next Day Air Saver. Available shipping options and pricing are calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and state.
