Anniversary Cards

These cards do a lot with a little. They cost about the same as a standard card to print, they mail flat without an envelope insert, and full color on a heavy stock makes the date feel like an event. Want to see how anniversary cards sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every style on postcard printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $16.48, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count goes up, so a full mailing for a golden anniversary or a company milestone costs far less per card than a small test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What are anniversary cards?

Anniversary cards are flat, full-color printed cards used to invite, announce, or celebrate a milestone, from a wedding anniversary to a company founding date. At 4OVER4.COM they print on one or both sides in 14 sizes from 2.5" x 2.5" up to 6" x 11", on any of 22 stocks, with the size, ink, and finish all set in the live configurator.

Think of an anniversary card as a small keepsake with a job to do. It is a flat card, not a folded one, so the front carries the date, the couple or the company name, and a photo, while the back can hold a note, a map, or an RSVP line. You set full-color printing, pick your stock, choose the size, and the price updates live as you go. When weddings are the theme, the Wedding Postcards sit right beside these as the matching pick for an engagement or a save-the-date.

What sizes can anniversary cards be?

4OVER4.COM anniversary cards come in 14 set sizes, from a 2.5" x 2.5" square up to a 6" x 11" card, with named options like 3" x 3", 3" x 4", and 4" x 4", and you can also set a custom size up to 6" x 11". Rounded corners are optional at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius.

The size follows the moment. A 2.5" x 2.5" or 3" x 3" square reads like a save-the-date token, small enough to feel personal. Step up to 4" x 4" when you want the date to hold a table, or go to the roomy 6" x 11" card when the front needs a full photo and the back needs directions, a timeline, or a gift note. All 14 sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a pocket-sized square, the Mini Cards go smaller, and for a card with an inside message the Folded Postcards open up.

What paper stocks and finishes can you choose?

4OVER4.COM offers 22 paper stocks for anniversary cards, from 14pt and 16pt gloss cover to uncoated and recycled options, soft touch, 14pt and 18pt white linen, metallic pearl in ice, champagne, silver and gold, a 10pt StarLustre platinum, synthetic plastic, and 18pt rigid vinyl PVC. Finishes are Standard or High Gloss UV Coating, and ink prints 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus black back, or 4/4 full color on both sides.

A milestone card should feel like more than paper. The everyday 14pt and 16pt gloss cover keep it clean and affordable, and a High-Gloss UV Coating makes a photo or gold lettering snap. Reach for 14pt or 18pt white linen when you want texture you can feel, or the metallic pearl stocks in champagne, silver and gold when the anniversary calls for shine without foil. Prefer a greener choice? Several uncoated stocks run on 30% or 100% recycled fiber, including a cream option that reads warm and formal. For ink you choose 4/0 to print the front only, 4/1 to add a black note on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides.

What do people use anniversary cards for?

Anniversary cards work as party invitations, save-the-dates, announcements, thank-you cards, and business anniversary mailers. Their flat, full-color format makes them easy to mail and easy to keep. Variable data printing lets each card carry a different guest name, table number, or promo code in a single run.

Because an anniversary card is a flat, full-color card, it does a lot of small jobs well. Couples mail them as invitations and save-the-dates for a 25th or 50th. Families send them as announcements and thank-you cards after the party. Businesses print them as anniversary mailers, celebrating a founding year with a photo on the front and a promo code on the back. When every card needs to be a little different, turn on variable data and the design stays fixed while the guest name, table number, or code changes per card, so a whole batch of personalized cards prints in one run.

How do anniversary cards compare to the rest of the range?

Anniversary cards are the value pick when you want a flat, full-color keepsake, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a smaller square, a folded card with an inside message, or a wedding-themed mailer, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up anniversary cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How fast can you get anniversary cards printed?

Anniversary cards print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same-Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day, and 99.8% of 4OVER4.COM orders land on time with 82% shipping early.
