Elegant frames and flourishes
Thin-stroke rectangles and lines build classic double borders and dividers; adjust opacity and rounded corners for a soft, engraved-stationery feel.
Wedding Invitation Maker
Design Your Own Wedding Invitation PDF
Design your wedding invitations yourself on a free browser canvas instead of paying per-card stationery prices. Start from the flyer template, swap in your names, date, and venue, frame it with a delicate border, and export a print-ready PDF — with no watermark stamped across your big day.
The Creator supports the formats invitations actually use: A5 for a classic folded-feel card, Square for a modern flat invite, or full A4 if you are printing two-up and trimming. Vector export means the fine hairline borders and small "reception to follow" line print crisp at any professional or home printer.
Sending digitally instead? Add real fillable form fields to a matching RSVP card — a text field for names and checkboxes for attending or regrets — so guests can type their reply straight into the PDF and email it back. No reply-card postage, no illegible handwriting.

Inside the editor
Built for this document
Your wedding palette
Set the page background to blush, sage, or ivory and match text and border colors to your wedding scheme with exact color values your printer can reproduce.
Real invitation sizes
A5 and Square page presets fit standard invitation envelopes; A4 works for two-up printing at home. Pick the size before you design and nothing needs rescaling.
Fillable RSVP cards
Add genuine AcroForm text fields and checkboxes so emailed guests can type their name, meal choice, and attendance directly into the PDF.
Engagement photo invites
Upload a JPG or PNG, choose a fit mode, and soften it with rounded corners or reduced opacity behind your text for a photo-backed design.
Print-shop-ready export
The vector PDF prints sharp on cardstock at any size — hand the file to a print shop or run it on a home printer with zero quality loss and zero watermark.
Step by step
Choose your card size
Open the Creator, pick A5 for a traditional card or Square for a modern flat invite, and set the background to your wedding color.
Lay out the wording
Host line, request line, your names (largest text on the card), then date and time written out in full, venue name, and city — in that order, centered.
Add the details lines
Reception info ("Dinner and dancing to follow"), dress code if any, and the RSVP instruction with a reply-by date near the bottom in smaller text.
Frame and decorate
Draw a thin border rectangle inside the page edge, add divider lines between sections, and keep decoration to two colors so the names stay the focus.
Add a matching RSVP page
Duplicate the page, strip it back to the RSVP card, and add fillable fields for guest names and an attending/regrets checkbox if you are sending digitally.
Export and proof
Download the PDF, print one proof copy at home to check colors and margins, then send the file to your printer or email it to your guest list.
Get it right the first time
Get the wording order right
Traditional order: hosts ("Together with their families"), request line ("request the pleasure of your company"), the couple’s names, date and time spelled out, venue, city. Everything else goes on a details line or separate card.
Send 6–8 weeks before the wedding
Mail or email invitations 6–8 weeks out (10–12 for destination weddings), with the RSVP deadline 3–4 weeks before the date so caterer counts are not a last-minute scramble.
Spell out numbers, skip abbreviations
"Saturday, the fifth of September, at four o’clock" is invitation register; "Sat, Sep 5, 4pm" is a calendar alert. Formality in the wording does more than any ornament.
Two fonts, two colors, maximum
One statement font for names and one quiet font for details, in your accent color plus a neutral. Restraint is what makes stationery look expensive.
Proof-print before the full run
Screen colors and printed colors differ. Print one copy on your actual cardstock first — a blush that looks perfect on screen can print salmon.
Frequently asked questions
What size should a wedding invitation be?
The most common flat invitation is close to A5, and square cards are a popular modern alternative — the Creator has page presets for both. Check your envelope size first and design to match, remembering square envelopes can cost extra postage.
What wording goes on a wedding invitation?
Six essentials in order: who is hosting, the request line, the couple’s names, the date and time written out, the ceremony venue, and reception information. RSVP details, dress code, and registry hints belong on a separate details card or line, never crowding the main wording.
Can guests RSVP directly on the PDF?
Yes — add real fillable form fields (text boxes for names, checkboxes for accepts/regrets and meal choice) to an RSVP card page. Guests open the PDF, type their answers, save, and email it back.
Can I print these invitations at home?
Yes. The export is a vector PDF, so it prints sharp on a home inkjet with good cardstock (200–300 gsm). For metallic inks, textured paper, or a run of 100+, a local print shop using the same file will look better and often costs less than ink.
When should wedding invitations be sent out?
Six to eight weeks before the wedding for local guests, ten to twelve for destination weddings — with save-the-dates going out around six months ahead if you use them. Set the RSVP deadline three to four weeks before the day.
Is this wedding invitation maker actually free?
Completely — no signup, no payment step, and no watermark hiding in the corner of your invitation. You can design, revise, and re-download the whole stationery suite as many times as you like.
Can I make matching details and thank-you cards?
Yes — duplicate the invitation page inside the same document and edit the copy, so the details card, RSVP card, and thank-you note inherit identical fonts, colors, and borders. Export once and use /extract-pages to split the pieces into separate files if your printer wants them individually.
How do I email the invitation without a huge attachment?
Photo-heavy invitations can produce large files. Run the exported PDF through the free compressor at /compress-pdf before emailing — it shrinks the file while keeping the card readable on guests’ phones.
