Baptism Invitations

What Are Baptism Invitations?

Baptism invitations are announcement cards that invite family and friends to a baptism or christening. They print full color in 3 sizes, from a classic 4.25" x 5.5" up to a square 6" x 6", on any of 20 stocks including white linen and metallic pearl, with matching white wove envelopes available.

The card is the first thing guests hold in their hands, so it should feel like the day it announces. Order from $19.77 for 25, choose front-only or double-sided printing, and set the ink to 4/0 for a blank back, 4/1 for a black back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. Pick your stock and size, add matching white wove envelopes so the set arrives ready to address, and the price updates live as you go. If you are printing for a sacrament in the same family, the First Communion Invitations sit right beside these.

What Sizes Do Baptism Invitations Come In?

Baptism invitations come in 3 set sizes: 4.25" x 5.5", 5" x 7", and a square 6" x 6". The 4.25" x 5.5" is the default and the classic invitation size, while the 6" x 6" runs square. You can also order a custom size up to 6" x 7".

The right size comes down to how much you want to say. The 4.25" x 5.5" is the classic invitation, small enough to tuck in an envelope and mail without a second stamp. Step up to 5" x 7" when you want room for a photo of the guest of honor and the full order of service. The 6" x 6" runs square, a modern shape that stands out on a fridge or a mantel. Need something in between or a touch larger? Set a custom size up to 6" x 7" in the configurator, and the price follows the size you pick. All 3 sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them.

What Paper Stocks and Finishes Can You Choose?

4OVER4.COM prints baptism invitations on 20 paper stocks: coated gloss, uncoated and cream covers, 100% recycled kraft, soft touch, white linen, a StarLustre platinum, and metallic pearl in ice, champagne, silver, and gold up to 26pt. Finishes are Standard or High Gloss UV. Ink prints 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus black back, or 4/4 full color on both sides.

A small card does not have to feel thin. The stock list runs 20 deep. Start with everyday 14pt and 16pt gloss cover, or reach for an uncoated, cream, or 100% recycled kraft when you want a softer, natural page you can write on. The 14pt and 18pt white linen adds texture you can read with your fingertips. The metallic pearl stocks catch light in ice, champagne, silver, and gold, the way foil does without the foil price, and they climb to a genuinely thick 26pt. For finishes you pick Standard or a High Gloss UV coat, and you set ink coverage to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 depending on whether you print the back.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a baptism invitation look right. Start from a professionally built layout in the baptism invitation design templates, then change the names, date and colors in the online editor in minutes. Swap a photo, set the wording, and the card is ready to print.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. The blank baptism invitation template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Baptism Invitations Cost?

Baptism invitations start at $19.77 for 25 cards, and the price scales across 41 quantity tiers up to 100,000, so the per-card cost drops from about 79 cents at 25 cards to roughly 2 cents at 100,000. Stock, finish, envelopes, and turnaround adjust the total, shown live before checkout.

Can You Add Matching Envelopes and Rounded Corners?

Yes. Baptism invitations offer matching white wove envelopes, so the invitation and its envelope arrive as a set. You can also round the corners at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius, and choose a proof: straight to production, a free online proof, or a next-day hardcopy proof.

Matching envelopes are the detail that makes a baptism set feel finished. Add them and the invitation and its envelope ship together, ready to address, instead of a hunt through a craft store the week before. You can also soften the look by rounding the corners at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius, which reads gentler for a baby celebration than a hard square corner. Nervous about a typo on a name or a date? Choose a free online proof to check the layout on screen, or a next-day hardcopy proof to hold the real card before the full run prints. If you would rather move fast, send it straight to production. For a first communion later on, the Communion Invitations carry the same options.

How Do Baptism Invitations Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Baptism invitations are the value pick when you want a warm, classic card at a low starting price, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a different ceremony card or a heavier specialty stock, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up baptism invitations against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Baptism Invitations?

Baptism invitations 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 out of the New York City facility. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it.

Order by the daily cutoff and a same-day job ships that same afternoon. If the timeline is roomier, next-day and 2-day sit in the middle, and the standard 3 business day speed keeps the price lowest. Four speeds, one dropdown, and you pick the one that matches your date. Same Day orders need to be approved by the daily cutoff to ship that day.
