Choose the Right Card Finish

The finish of your card can completely change the look of your invitations. Choose a style that complements your wedding theme, printing method and planned embellishments.

Smooth Card Blanks

Smooth card provides a clean, versatile surface for printed wedding invitations, stamping and handwritten designs. It is a practical choice for modern stationery and works particularly well when you want your wording, illustrations or embellishments to take centre stage.

Hammer Finish Card Blanks

Hammer card has a gently dimpled texture that adds interest without overpowering your design. Its classic appearance works beautifully with traditional wedding invitations, ribbon, layered panels and paper flowers.

Linen Finish Card Blanks

Linen-effect card has a subtle woven texture that gives handmade stationery an elegant, tactile finish. It is especially suited to romantic, rustic and timeless wedding designs and is available in selected white and ivory options.

Recycled Kraft Card Blanks

Brown kraft card creates a warm, natural foundation for rustic, woodland and relaxed wedding stationery. Pair it with lace, hessian, twine, vellum or white printed panels for a design that feels handmade and full of character.

Single-Fold or Gatefold Card Blanks?

Single-fold card blanks have one central crease and open like a traditional greeting card. They provide a front cover and two internal pages, making them ideal for invitations that need space for your main wording and additional wedding information.

Gatefold card blanks have two side panels that meet at the centre. This creates a more decorative opening and provides a natural place for ribbon, a belly band, wax seal or personalised embellishment. Gatefold designs are particularly effective when you want the invitation itself to feel like part of the reveal.

Both styles are supplied flat and pre-creased. Your choice will depend on the amount of information you need to include and the overall look you want to create.

Printing and Decorating Your Card Blanks

Many of our card blanks are supplied flat so they may be easier to print before folding. Printer capabilities vary considerably, so check the maximum card weight, supported paper size and recommended feed path in your printer manual before ordering. A rear or manual feed is often more suitable for heavier card, but compatibility cannot be guaranteed.

If you are unsure, begin with a smaller quantity before committing to all your wedding stationery. Print your wording first and add ribbon, layered card, bows, paper flowers or other embellishments afterwards.

Complete your design with our range of satin ribbon, ready-made ribbon bows, paper flowers, glitter card, metallic textured card and crafting adhesives.
