Wedding Invitation Template

A wedding invitation has one job: tell your guests who is marrying, when, where, and how to reply. Everything else on the card is there to make those four facts feel like an occasion.

Fill in your details below, choose one of eight designs, and download a finished invitation — a print-ready PDF or a 300-dpi image you can send on WhatsApp or take to a print shop. There is no account, no watermark, and nothing you type leaves your browser.

  • 8 designs, each with its own colours
  • A6, A5, square and WhatsApp sizes
  • PDF and 300-dpi PNG
  • No account, no watermark

What is the Stellanza wedding invitation template?

The Stellanza wedding invitation template is a free online designer for printable wedding invitations. You type in your names, the date and time, the ceremony and reception venues and the reply details, choose one of eight designs and a colour palette, and download the finished card as a print-ready PDF at the card's exact size, a 300-dpi PNG, or an A4 sheet with cut marks for printing at home.

It makes A6, A5 and square cards and a 1080 by 1350 image for WhatsApp and Instagram. There is no account and no watermark, and the invitation is composed in the browser, so nothing you type is uploaded. Couples who would rather collect replies online can build a Stellanza wedding page, where each guest confirms on a personal link and the answers go straight into the guest list.

    Keep the artwork that comes with the design, or have a new one drawn for you.

  4. 4

    Download a PDF at the card's size, a 300-dpi PNG or an A4 sheet with cut marks, or print straight from the page.

01

What has to be on a wedding invitation

An invitation can be four lines or twenty, but a guest should be able to answer every practical question after reading it once.

If one of these is missing you will spend the following month answering the same message, so write them down before you think about how the card looks.

  • Who is getting married — full names, in the order you want them read
  • The date, and the time the ceremony starts rather than the time you would like people seated
  • Where the ceremony is, with enough address to find it
  • Where the reception is, and whether guests move between the two
  • How and by when to reply, with one named person to reply to
  • Anything a guest has to act on: dress code, an adults-only note, parking

02

Printed, sent, or both

Most couples now do both, and the two uses want different files. A printed card is chosen for the paper as much as the design; a card sent on WhatsApp is read on a phone at arm's length and needs bigger type and fewer lines.

The designer exports at 300 dots per inch for the paper sizes, which is what a print shop expects, and at 1080 by 1350 pixels for the social size, which is what a phone shows without recompressing it into mush.

  • A6, 105 × 148 mm — the standard invitation card, and the cheapest to print in quantity
  • A5, 148 × 210 mm — twice the size, for a single-card invitation carrying all the detail
  • Square, 135 × 135 mm — needs a square envelope, which costs more than couples expect
  • 1080 × 1350 — for sending, not printing

03

How many invitations to order

Count households, not people. A couple living at one address gets one invitation, a family with children gets one, and single guests get one each — which is usually around sixty per cent of your guest count, not one hundred.

Then add spares. Print shops charge steeply for a second short run, and you will lose one or two to the post and want a few to keep.

  • One invitation per household, not per guest
  • Add ten per cent for spares, and two for yourselves
  • Order envelopes before you write the addresses, not after
  • Check the print shop's minimum order before choosing a size

04

When to send them

Six to eight weeks before the wedding is the usual window, and three months if guests are travelling or the date falls in a holiday season.

Set the reply deadline three to four weeks before the day. That is what your venue's final headcount date allows for, and it leaves you time to chase the people who will need chasing.

  • Save-the-dates six to twelve months ahead if guests need to book travel
  • Invitations six to eight weeks ahead, or three months for a destination wedding
  • Reply deadline three to four weeks before the day
  • Expect to chase roughly a quarter of your list, whatever the deadline says

Wedding page and RSVPs

Want guests to reply online instead of on paper?

The designs on this page are files to print or send. If you would rather share one link where guests can see the schedule and the map and confirm their attendance, build the invitation as a page instead. Classic is free, and there are five more designs in Premium.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions couples ask most often while planning. We rebuild and re-check this template every time the tool behind it changes.

Is this wedding invitation template really free?
Yes. Every design, every size and the full-resolution download are free, with no account and no watermark on the file. The optional step that draws you a new background uses an image model and is limited to a few goes a day, which is the only limit on the page.
Can I take the file to a print shop?
Yes. The paper sizes export at 300 dots per inch, which is the resolution print shops ask for — an A6 card comes out 1240 by 1748 pixels. The single-card PDF and PNG have no bleed, so tell the shop it is a trim-to-size file, or ask them to add a bleed if they print to the edge. To print at home, download the A4 sheet, which has cut marks.
What size should a wedding invitation be?
A6, 105 by 148 millimetres, is the standard and the most economical to print and post. A5 is twice that and suits an invitation carrying ceremony, reception and reply details on one card. Square cards look striking but need square envelopes, which cost noticeably more and sometimes carry a postal surcharge.
Should the invitation name the godparents or witnesses?
It depends where you are marrying. In Romania and across much of the Balkans naming the nasi or kumovi is expected and their absence is noticed. In English, German and Italian convention the witnesses are not usually named on the card at all. The field is optional, and leaving it empty removes the line entirely rather than leaving a gap.
Can I send the invitation on WhatsApp?
Yes, and it is worth choosing the social size before you download. WhatsApp compresses large images heavily, so a 300-dpi print file sent as a photo arrives softer than the 1080 by 1350 version. Send the print file as a document rather than a photo if you want a guest to be able to print it themselves.
Do my details get uploaded anywhere?
No. The invitation is composed and rendered entirely in your browser, so your names, date and venue never leave the page. If you ask for new artwork to be drawn, only the style you chose is sent — never anything you typed.
Should I print the invitation or send a link?
Many couples do both. Print a card as a keepsake, and use a wedding page for the schedule, the map and the replies, which then arrive in your guest list without being typed in by hand.
Can I print the card and still collect replies online?
Yes. Write the address of your wedding page on the printed card, and guests reply there. Their answers, meal choices and plus-ones go straight into your guest list.

Move from template to real planning

Templates help you start, but the hard part is keeping guest data, RSVPs, seating, and budget changes in sync. Stellanza gives you that shared source of truth once you are ready to move past static sheets and PDFs.
