Professional Wedding Invitation Printing in the UK
Your wedding invitations are often the first glimpse guests receive of your celebration. They introduce your wedding style, establish the tone of the occasion and provide a keepsake that many guests will treasure.
That’s why the quality of your wedding invitation printing matters.
Home printers and standard office printing services can struggle with heavyweight card, specialist papers, accurate cutting and consistent colour reproduction. A beautifully designed invitation deserves a professional finish.
Wedding Print Works provides a specialist printing service for customers who already have their own wedding invitation artwork.
We concentrate on the details that make a difference:
- Professional print quality: Crisp typography, detailed artwork and carefully reproduced colours.
- Premium papers and boards: A choice of smooth, textured and coloured stocks.
- Specialist invitation shapes: Including arches, scalloped edges, curves and waves.
- Accurate cutting and finishing: Professionally manufactured invitations with clean, consistent edges.
- UK-based production: Professional printing and finishing carried out in the United Kingdom.
- Printing from your own artwork: No need to purchase a design or template from us.
Whether you’re printing invitations for an intimate celebration or a much larger wedding, our aim is to make professional printing straightforward and accessible.
Print Your Own Wedding Invitations
More couples than ever are choosing to create their own wedding invitations. Designing your stationery gives you complete control over the colours, typography, wording and overall appearance.
But designing your own invitations doesn’t mean you have to print them yourself.
Our print your own wedding invitations service allows you to supply finished artwork and leave the production to us.
You can create a completely original invitation, personalise a purchased template or work with an independent designer to develop something unique.
Once your design is ready, we can help turn it into a professionally printed product using suitable papers and finishing techniques.
It’s an ideal solution if you want the freedom of creating your own wedding invitations without the limitations of home printing.

Wedding Invitation Printing from Canva
Canva has made it easier than ever to create personalised wedding invitations. With its accessible design tools and extensive range of templates, couples can produce attractive invitations without needing professional graphic design experience.
However, printing your Canva invitations at home can be challenging, particularly if you want heavyweight card, specialist shapes or a premium finish.
At Wedding Print Works, we can print wedding invitations created in Canva, provided your artwork is prepared correctly for professional printing.
How to Prepare Canva Wedding Invitations for Printing
- Complete your design. Check that all names, dates, times, venues and other details are correct.
- Confirm the finished size. Make sure your Canva document matches the dimensions of the invitations you want printed.
- Allow for bleed. If your design includes artwork or background colours extending to the edge, include the required bleed area.
- Export as PDF Print. Canva’s PDF Print option is generally the most suitable starting point for professional printing.
- Check your exported file. Review the final PDF carefully before supplying it for production.
If you’re unsure about artwork preparation, we can discuss the printing requirements before you place your order.
Professional wedding invitation printing allows you to enjoy the creative freedom of Canva while achieving a finish that would be difficult to reproduce using a typical home printer.
Printing Wedding Invitations Purchased from Etsy
Etsy is a popular place to find beautiful wedding invitation templates created by independent designers.
Many Etsy sellers provide editable digital files that allow you to personalise your invitation wording, colours and other details before arranging printing separately.
Wedding Print Works can help you turn those digital invitation designs into professionally printed stationery.
Once you’ve purchased and personalised your template, simply prepare your print-ready artwork and choose the paper, size and finishing options that suit your design.
Before ordering, make sure your template licence permits printing and that you’ve followed the designer’s instructions for exporting the artwork.
By arranging professional printing separately, you can choose the materials and finish you prefer rather than relying on your home printer.
Beautiful Papers for Wedding Invitation Printing
Paper choice is one of the most important decisions when printing wedding invitations.
The same design can look and feel completely different depending on the paper or card used.
A minimalist invitation printed on a smooth, substantial board creates a contemporary appearance, while a textured paper can add warmth, character and a more traditional feel.
At Wedding Print Works, we offer a selection of premium papers and boards to complement different invitation styles.
Smooth Wedding Invitation Card
Smooth card is particularly well suited to modern designs, fine typography, illustrations and artwork featuring intricate detail. It provides a clean, professional appearance and works beautifully with contemporary invitation layouts.
Textured Wedding Invitation Paper
Textured papers introduce a tactile quality that can make wedding invitations feel more luxurious and distinctive. They are particularly effective for elegant, romantic and traditional designs.
Coloured Papers and Boards
Coloured stocks offer another way to create distinctive wedding stationery. Rather than relying entirely on printed backgrounds, the colour of the paper itself can become an important part of the design.
Our available papers and finishes can help you find a material that complements your wedding theme and artwork.
Explore our papers and finishing options.
Shaped Wedding Invitation Printing – Arches, Scallops and Waves
Wedding invitations don’t have to be rectangular.
One of the advantages of using a specialist wedding invitation printer is the ability to explore more creative shapes and finishes.
At Wedding Print Works, our specialist cutting equipment enables us to produce distinctive invitation shapes that would be difficult and time-consuming to achieve by hand.
Popular styles include:
- Arch wedding invitations: Elegant curved tops that suit modern, romantic and minimalist designs.
- Scalloped wedding invitations: Decorative edges that create a softer, more playful appearance.
- Wave-shaped invitations: Flowing, contemporary shapes that add movement and personality.
- Rounded and curved invitations: Subtle alternatives to traditional square corners.
- Coordinated shaped stationery: Matching RSVP cards, details cards, menus and other wedding stationery.
These finishing options allow you to create wedding invitations that feel genuinely individual, without needing specialist cutting equipment of your own.
Wedding Invitation Sizes and Formats
Choosing the right invitation size is an important part of the design process.
Different formats can create very different impressions, from compact, understated invitations to larger designs with more space for illustrations and typography.
Common wedding invitation sizes include:
- A6 (105 x 148 mm): A compact and practical format for simple invitations.
- A5 (148 x 210 mm): A larger format offering more room for detailed layouts and information.
- 5 x 7 inches (127 x 178 mm): A popular invitation format with elegant proportions.
- Square invitations: A contemporary alternative to traditional rectangular formats.
- Bespoke shaped invitations: Custom profiles such as arches, scallops and waves.
The most suitable size depends on your artwork, the amount of information you need to include and your preferred presentation.
If your design requires a particular size or shape, contact us to discuss the available production options before finalising your artwork.
Matching Wedding Stationery for Your Entire Celebration
Once you’ve created a beautiful invitation design, why stop there?
Using the same colours, typography and design elements across your wedding stationery helps create a coordinated appearance throughout your celebration.
Wedding Print Works can help with printing a wider range of matching stationery, including:
- Save-the-date cards
- RSVP cards
- Wedding details and information cards
- Wedding menus
- Place cards and table numbers
- Orders of service
- Thank-you cards
- Wedding signage and seating plans, subject to specification
By using one professional printing partner for your stationery, you can discuss consistent paper choices, colours and finishing across your collection.
