Engagement Party Invitations To Edit Online
Printed engagement party invitations are ordered by a couple, a parent of either partner, friends, or the bridal party. These engagement invites are chosen from the design grid, edited online, printed, and delivered to you. The host line names the host on the card.
The Eucalyptus example uses digital printing on Paperlust Matte paper in 178mm x 127mm, 7 x 5 inches, single sided at 100 cards for $2.22 per card. It comes with one Premium White envelope per card.
Price By Print Method
The table compares price per card at 100 across the listed print methods and papers. Read the method name next to the design before choosing a finish.
| Style | Method | Paper stock | Dimensions | Price per card at 100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eucalyptus | Digital printing | Paperlust Matte | 178mm x 127mm | $2.22 |
| Night Bloom | White ink | Paperlust Black | 178mm x 127mm | $3.43 |
| Rose et Gris | Flat foil | Paperlust Matte | 178mm x 127mm | $3.82 |
| Here Comes The Bride | Letterpress | Paperlust Wild Cotton | 178mm x 127mm | $4.30 |
| Rose et Gris | Foil stamp | Paperlust Wild Cotton | 178mm x 127mm | $6.36 |
Eucalyptus is also sold as its own letterpress product, separate from the Here Comes The Bride letterpress row in the table. That separate Eucalyptus letterpress product on Wild Cotton costs $5.36 per card at 100, while the table shows Eucalyptus digital printing on Matte at $2.22. Eucalyptus letterpress presses ink into the paper, and foil stamp creates a pressed metallic finish. Rose et Gris appears in flat foil and foil stamp, with flat foil leaving no impression in the card.
How Many To Order And Price Per Card
Plan for one card per household, not one per person. Digital printing, white ink, and flat foil start at 10 cards, while letterpress and foil stamp start at 50 cards. Quantity is sold in steps of 10, up to 300. Use the guest list to choose the quantity before editing the card.
For Eucalyptus digital printing on Paperlust Matte, the per card price falls as quantity rises. At 10 cards it is $6.16, at 50 cards it is $3.28, and at 200 cards it is $1.62. The Eucalyptus letterpress price on Wild Cotton at 50 cards is $8.93, which is higher than its 100 card price shown earlier.
Engagement Party Invitation Wording
The card needs the host, the occasion, the date, the place, and the reply details.
- host line, who is throwing the party
- occasion line naming it an engagement party
- date and start time, with a closing time if the dinner is seated
- complete venue address with street, city, and state
- RSVP line for who to contact, by what date and how
A formal third person tone or a playful first person tone can both work, depending on the event. If it is a surprise, add a note asking guests not to tell the couple. The invitation can also serve as the engagement announcement. For wording examples by party style and host, read the engagement party wording guide.
Templates, Design Ideas And Wedding Set
The grid shows finished layouts, and each one works as a template you can customize online. You change words, fonts, and colors in the editor. The result is a custom card printed and delivered.
Style ideas include Night Bloom with black card and white floral illustrations, Eucalyptus with leaf illustration and a rustic feel, and Here Comes The Bride with a minimal layout. Choose the layout that matches the party tone.
A Wildest Dreams set of engagement party invitations pairs the engagement card with the wedding invitation. Both use a small watercolor floral at the top and sans serif type, so the engagement card can set the look the wedding invitations follow. Browse wedding invitations and see Wildest Dreams in the matching design set.
Proof And Production Timeline
The cards are printed in Melbourne. A designer sends the first digital proof free, in 1 to 2 business days after ordering. Unlimited edit rounds are available before final proof approval.

Each product page lists its own production time. Approve the proof only when the host line, date, time, and venue address are correct. If the party date is only weeks away, digital printing has a shorter production window than flat foil, letterpress, or foil stamp. Add the proof, production, and shipping waits together when planning the mailing date.
