What Is a Christmas Save the Date Card?

A Christmas save the date card is a full-color holiday announcement that tells guests to reserve a date before the formal invitation goes out. At 4OVER4.COM it prints in 3 sizes from 4.25 by 5.5 inch up to a 6 by 6 inch square, on any of 20 stocks, with one-sided or two-sided color, optional rounded corners, and matching envelopes, all set in the live configurator.

Think of it as the first word of your holiday event. Before the formal invitation lands, a save the date holds the calendar for a Christmas wedding, a company party, an open house, or a family gathering during the busiest weeks of the year. You pick the size, choose a stock, set front only or front and back color with 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 ink, and the price updates live as you go. When you are ready for the full invite, the matching Save the Date Cards and Christmas Invitations round out the set.

What Size Should a Christmas Save the Date Card Be?

4OVER4.COM Christmas save the date cards come in 3 set sizes: 4.25 by 5.5 inch, 5 by 7 inch, and a 6 by 6 inch square, with 4.25 by 5.5 inch as the default. You can also order a custom size up to 6 by 7 inch. The 5 by 7 inch gives a classic mailer shape and the 6 by 6 inch runs a bold square.

What Paper Stocks and Finishes Can You Choose?

4OVER4.COM prints Christmas save the date cards on 20 stocks, from 14pt and 16pt gloss cover to uncoated, cream, kraft, and recycled options up to 100 percent post-consumer waste, plus white linen, metallic pearl in ice, champagne, silver, and gold, and a StarLustre platinum. 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 holiday card gets to feel special. Start with everyday 14pt or 16pt gloss cover, or reach for an uncoated or cream stock when you want a softer, matte hand. Kraft and recycled covers up to 100 percent post-consumer waste suit a rustic or eco look. The 14pt and 18pt white linen add fine texture you can feel, and the metallic pearl stocks in ice, champagne, silver, and gold catch candlelight like foil without the foil price. For finish you pick Standard or a High Gloss UV coat that makes a photo or a red-and-gold design snap.

Two extras help a mailed card. Round the corners at a 1/8 inch or 3/8 inch radius for a softer edge, and add matching white wove envelopes so the set arrives ready to address. Pair full color on both sides with the stock and finish that fit the occasion, and a simple card starts pulling real weight.
