How it is calculated
In short: This free invitation maker creates invitations and greeting cards for birthdays, kids’ parties, weddings, baby showers, graduations, holidays and more. You get a print-ready PDF with four cards on one Letter sheet (4 × 5.25 in each, fits an A2 envelope) or an image for WhatsApp and text messages – no upload, no watermark.
How it works
- Choose the occasion. Design, colors and suggested wording are set to match.
- Edit the heading, message and – for invitations – “When and where”, then add your name.
- Optionally pick another design or heading font; for messaging apps choose “Square”.
- Click “Printable PDF”, print on cardstock and cut along the crop marks – or “Save as image” and send it.
Sizes and readability
A US Letter sheet is 8.5 × 11 in. Four 4 × 5.25 in cards leave at least 0.2 in of margin on every side, which most home printers need, and fit a standard A2 envelope (4 3/8 × 5 3/4 in). On A4 the cards are 100 × 142 mm and fit a C6 envelope (ISO 269). Cards are rendered at 300 dpi, sharp enough for print. Every text and background color pair has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 (WCAG 2.2).
Honest limits
The designs are simple graphics drawn by code – no photos and no licensed characters. You cannot add your own photo here; for that, use add text to photo. There are no folded cards, no envelope printing and no online RSVP.
Privacy
The card is created entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Names, addresses and messages are not saved – only occasion, design, format and font are remembered.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free invitation maker with printable templates?
Yes – this one. Choose the occasion, edit the text and click “Printable PDF”. You get four cards per sheet with crop marks, no account and no watermark.
How do I make a digital invitation to send by text?
Choose the format “Square for WhatsApp & texts” and click “Save as image”. On a phone, a “Share image” button then appears so you can send it straight from the page.
What should a birthday invitation say?
Who is celebrating (and the age, if you like), date and time, the address and an RSVP date. The suggested wording already has these parts – just fill in your details.
What paper should I use to print cards at home?
Cardstock of about 65–110 lb (roughly 175–300 g/m²), if your printer supports it – check its manual. Print at actual size so the cards fit A2 envelopes.
Can I make greeting cards too, not just invitations?
Yes: choose “Birthday card”, “Thank-you card”, “Mother’s Day”, “Christmas card” or “New Year”. The “When and where” box stays empty and does not appear on the card.
