Do you print portrait and landscape invitations?

What paper stocks are available?

Should I use a text weight or cover weight stock?
This depends on the design of your invites and the aesthetic you want. Text weight stocks are lightweight and easy to fold. Cover weight stocks are more rigid and substantial. The higher the number, the thicker the stock. Learn more: Text Weight vs. Cover Weight
If I add a fold, can I print on the inside of my invitation?
Yes. When you have a fold, the dropdown on the product page called “Printing on the Back” refers to the inside of the folded invitation.
What do the different ink choices mean?
