Hand Out an Invitation People Can Feel

A suede invitation is a 16 point cover card with a soft-touch laminate that gives it a matte, almost fabric-like surface, so a guest notices it before reading it. Couples order it for weddings, and hosts for galas and milestone events where the invitation sets the tone. Suede invitations start at $251.36 for a set of 500, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 16 reviews.

What Are Suede Invitations

Suede invitations are premium invitation cards printed on a 16 point suede-laminated cover, a stock finished with a soft, velvet-touch surface. At 4OVER4 they print full color on one or both sides in 8 sizes, from a 4.25" x 5.5" card up to a 6" x 6" square, with matching White Wove A2 envelopes available and a starting price of $251.36 for 500.

The soft surface keeps deep colors and fine type looking rich instead of shiny, so a name, a date and one line of detail are enough for the front. If you love the soft-touch idea but want an even plusher hand, the Velvet Invitations push the texture further, and suede sits right beside it as the understated, tactile pick.

How Much Do Suede Invitations Cost

Suede invitations start at $251.36 for 500 at 4OVER4. The price scales across 5 quantity tiers up to 10,000, so a larger run drops the per-card cost fast, from about 50 cents each at 500 to about 19 cents each at 10,000. Size, ink coverage, envelopes, and turnaround adjust the total, and the configurator shows the exact number before you order.

A set of 500 is $251.36, which works out to about 50 cents a card. At larger counts, 1,000 run $327.15, 2,500 run $630.31, 5,000 run $1,009.25, and a full 10,000 is $1,893.44, or about 19 cents a card. Full color on both sides, matching envelopes, or a 4 business day rush shift the total, and you see every change in real time.

What Sizes Do Suede Invitations Come In

Suede invitations come in 8 sizes. The default is a 4.25" x 5.5" card, and the range includes a classic 5" x 7", a 6" x 6" square, and scored sheets that fold, such as a 10" x 7" that scores to 5" x 7". You can also order a custom size, made to order up to 12" x 9".

Choose the size by how much you need to say and how the card should sit in the hand. The 4.25" x 5.5" default is compact and classic. The 5" x 7" is the size most couples pick for a wedding, with room for names, a date, and a line of detail. The 6" x 6" square feels modern and stands out on a table, and the scored sizes crease cleanly so the card opens to reveal the details inside. All 8 sizes and both ink setups are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

What Ink And Envelope Options Are There

Suede invitations print in two ink setups at 4OVER4: full color on the front with a blank back, or full color on both sides. You can add matching White Wove A2 blank envelopes to the order, and a free online proof lets you approve the layout before it goes to press.

Choose full color on the front with a blank back when the reverse stays clean, or full color on both sides when you want art, a map, or event details on the back. Either way the soft suede surface makes deep colors and fine type look premium. Need envelopes to match? Add White Wove A2 blank envelopes right in the configurator so the whole suite arrives together, and request a free online proof to check the layout before it prints. To lay it out, start from a layout in our invitation design templates and change the names, colors and copy in the online editor.

Wally makes the invitation you can feel

Why a soft suede finish gets your card kept, not tossed.

A set of 500 suede invitations starts at $251.36 on a 16 point suede-laminated cover, and the soft velvet-touch surface makes people hold on. Pick from 8 sizes, print one side or both, add matching A2 envelopes, and Wally gets them printed on a 7 business day standard turnaround or a 4 business day rush.

How Fast Can You Get Suede Invitations Printed

4OVER4 prints suede invitations on a 7 business day standard turnaround, with a 4 business day rush when the date is close. You choose the speed in the configurator, and the faster option adjusts the price. 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders arrive on time and 82% ship early.

The standard 7 business day production time keeps the price at its lowest. When an event date is bearing down, the 4 business day rush buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Either way, you are not gambling on the date. Order early when you can, and lean on the rush when the calendar surprises you.

How Do Suede Invitations Compare to Velvet, Metallic, and Dual Raised

Suede invitations sit alongside other premium 4OVER4 invitations. The Velvet Invitations start at the same $251.36 for a plusher, deeper texture, the Metallic Invitations start at $317.44 for a shimmer finish, and the Dual Raised Invitations start at $249.00 for a raised, tactile design. All four print full color on premium stocks, so the choice comes down to the feel you want.

Suede is the understated, soft-touch pick of the four, plush without the shine and smooth without the raised relief. The chart below lines these up so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

Suede Invitations: Frequently Asked Questions

Are matching envelopes available with suede invitations?

Matching White Wove A2 blank envelopes can be added as an option before checkout. Adding them in the same order keeps the envelope size matched to the card you picked instead of hunting for a fit afterward.

Is a 5 by 7 invitation size available?

Yes. There are 8 sizes, including the classic 5 inch by 7 inch, a smaller 4.25 inch by 5.5 inch, and a 6 inch by 6 inch square, plus custom sizes made to order up to 12 inches by 9 inches. The 5 by 7 is the standard wedding invitation shape.

What is the minimum order for suede invitations?

The smallest set is 500 invitations at $251.36. The per card price drops to about 19 cents once the run climbs to 10,000, so a large guest list or a multi event series costs much less per invitation.

Why does the card feel like velvet?

The feel comes from the lamination, not the paper alone. A soft touch suede film is applied over a heavy 16 point cover, giving the card a matte, almost fabric like surface that guests notice before they read a word.

Can I print details on the back of the invitation?

You can print full color on the front with a blank back, or full color on both sides. Printing both sides is the usual choice when directions, dress code, RSVP details or a schedule need to travel with the invitation itself. On the scored sizes, such as the 10 by 7 inch sheet that scores to 5 by 7, the second printed side becomes the inside of the card, which gives those details a full panel.

How early should I order invitations for a wedding?

Standard production is 7 business days with a 4 business day rush available, and you still need time to address, stuff and mail the set after it arrives. Ordering well ahead of your mailing date is the sane plan. Suede invitations rate 4.9 out of 5 across 16 reviews.
