Communion Invitations

What Are Communion Invitations?

Communion invitations are flat cards that announce a First Communion or Holy Communion celebration, printed full color in 3 sizes from a 4.25" x 5.5" classic up to a 6" x 6" square, on any of 20 stocks. You set the size, choose the ink coverage, pick a stock, and the card is ready to mail. Because the moment matters, people tend to keep these on display rather than toss them, which is exactly the point of a printed invitation over a text message.

Communion invitations sit inside a deep family of celebration cards. If you are marking the same sacrament for a child, the First Communion Invitations share the same sizes and stocks, and for the earlier sacrament the Baptism Invitations are the natural companion. For any general occasion in between, the Invitation Cards carry the same build.

What Sizes Do Communion Invitations Come In?

4OVER4 communion invitations come in 3 set sizes: a 4.25" x 5.5" classic, a 5" x 7" standard, and a 6" x 6" square, with the 4.25" x 5.5" set as the default. You can also set a custom size up to 6" x 7", and the price follows the size you pick. The 4.25" x 5.5" slips into a standard envelope, the 5" x 7" leaves room for a photo of the child and a note about the reception, and the square reads formal in a stack of rectangles. All 3 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.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a communion invitation look sharp. Start from a professionally built layout in our design templates, then change the names, dates, colors, and photo in the online editor in minutes. Pick a warm serif for a traditional church invitation or a clean modern face for the reception card, and the template keeps your spacing and bleed correct.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank 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 below, drop your art in, and upload.

What Paper Stocks and Finishes Can You Choose?

The stock is what makes a communion card feel like an occasion. The list runs 20 deep. Start with everyday 14pt or 16pt gloss and uncoated covers, or reach for the 24pt ultra thick gloss when you want real weight in the hand. White linen and premium white linen add a woven texture you can feel with your fingertips, recycled kraft and cream uncoated read warm and natural for a church setting, and the metallic pearl stocks in ice, champagne, silver, and gold catch light like foil without the foil price. There is even a 10pt StarLustre platinum for a subtle shimmer.

For finishes you pick Standard or a High Gloss UV Coating that makes a photo or a gold cross detail snap, and you set your ink coverage to 4/0 for the front only, 4/1 to add black on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. Print the celebration details on the back and the card earns its keep as a keepsake.

How Much Do Communion Invitations Cost?

Communion invitations start at $19.77 per set of 25, about 79 cents a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheaper invitation really comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 700 runs $106.55, around 15 cents each, and a full 100,000-card run lands at $2,255.62, roughly 2 cents apiece, across 41 quantity tiers in all. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

Do Communion Invitations Come With Envelopes?

Yes. You do not have to source envelopes separately. Choose the matching white wove envelope option in the configurator and they ship right alongside your invitations, sized to the card. If you want a softer look, add rounded corners at a 3/8" or 1/8" radius. And before anything prints, you decide how careful to be: go straight to production to move fast, request a free online proof to check your file on screen, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to hold the real thing first.

If you need standalone or extra envelopes to match a mixed set, the Invitation Envelopes are their own product, and the classic Invitation Cards cover the same build in a general-purpose card.

How Do Communion Invitations Compare to Other Invitations?

Communion invitations are the value pick when you want a milestone card that keeps its price low, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing the child-focused First Communion card, the earlier baptism sacrament, or a general-purpose invitation, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up communion invitations against their closest relatives so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Communion Invitations Printed?

Communion invitations print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when the 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 the daily cutoff to ship that day. Compare every turnaround tier and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick, and know that every 4OVER4 order is backed by the five Gold Standard guarantees.
