A6 invitations provide a compact card format with enough space for the key details of a wedding, birthday, anniversary, party or other special occasion. Measuring 105 x 148mm, the familiar proportions work well for both simple text-led designs and invitations featuring photographs, illustrations or decorative artwork.
Upload your own print-ready design and choose single or double-sided printing in portrait or landscape orientation. A6 invitations are printed on 300gsm white card, with white peel and seal envelopes included at no extra cost.
A6 is a versatile invitation size for many different occasions. Popular uses include wedding invitations, birthday parties, engagement celebrations, anniversaries, christenings, baby showers, retirement parties, private events and business functions.
The size provides room for essential information such as the date, time, venue and RSVP details while remaining compact and convenient to send or hand directly to guests. It can also work well for save-the-date cards and other event stationery where the message does not require a larger format.
A6 is a good choice when you want an invitation that feels substantial enough for an occasion without requiring a large card. The proportions give you useful design space while encouraging the information to remain clear and focused.
If your design contains longer wording, several sections of information or larger photographs, an A5 Invitation may provide more room. For a different visual style with equal width and height, our Square Invitations are another option.
A6 invitations can be printed in either portrait or landscape orientation. Portrait works well for traditional invitation layouts where names, occasion details and RSVP information are arranged vertically down the card.
Landscape provides more horizontal space and can suit wider photographs, decorative headings or layouts where the wording is arranged across the design. The best choice will depend on the style and proportions of your artwork.
Single-sided printing works well when all of the event information can be presented clearly on the front of the invitation. Double-sided printing gives you additional space for RSVP details, directions, dress codes, gift information or other supporting content while keeping the main design uncluttered.
A6 invitations are printed on 300gsm white card, providing a firm surface for both colourful artwork and simpler typography-led designs. White peel and seal envelopes are included free with your invitations, giving you a convenient way to send or present the finished cards to your guests.
Select your printed sides, orientation and required quantity before uploading your own print-ready artwork.

A6 invitations have a finished size of 105 x 148mm. When preparing artwork for print, your file should include the required bleed beyond the finished edge and keep important wording and design elements safely inside the trim line.
We require 2mm bleed on every edge, giving an overall artwork size of 109 x 152mm. Background colours, photographs and decorative elements intended to continue to the edge of the finished invitation should extend fully into this bleed area.
We also recommend keeping names, dates, venue details, logos and other essential content at least 3mm inside the finished edge. This safe area helps prevent important information appearing too close to the trim after finishing.
Artwork should be supplied at the correct dimensions, with photographs, illustrations and other raster images ideally set at 300dpi at their final printed size. This helps fine details and decorative elements remain clear when printed.
Where possible, prepare artwork using CMYK colour rather than RGB. Screens display colour in RGB, while commercial printing typically reproduces colour using CMYK. Because the two colour systems work differently, some colours may appear slightly different in print compared with how they look on screen.
Invitations often use centred layouts, decorative borders and carefully positioned typography, so allow comfortable space around important wording. If your design includes a border, avoid positioning it very close to the trim edge, as small variations during finishing can make a narrow border appear uneven.
If you are unsure about the finished dimensions, bleed or safe area, use the A6 invitation artwork diagram above as a guide before uploading your file. Checking the artwork carefully can help prevent unwanted white edges, cropped decorative elements or important event details sitting too close to the trim.
