132mm square invitations offer a balanced, design-led format that works particularly well for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions. With equal width and height, the square shape gives you a distinctive alternative to traditional A-series invitation sizes.
Upload your own print-ready artwork and choose single or double-sided printing. Square invitations are printed on 300gsm white card, with white peel and seal envelopes included at no extra cost.
Square invitations are a popular choice for designs where the overall look of the card is just as important as the event details. Common uses include wedding invitations, birthday parties, engagement celebrations, anniversaries, christenings, baby showers and private events.
The format can work especially well with centred typography, photographs, illustrations, floral artwork and symmetrical designs. The 132mm size gives you enough room for essential event information while keeping the finished invitation compact and easy to send or hand to guests.
The main appeal of a square invitation is its equal proportions. This gives you more freedom to create balanced layouts without working around a traditional portrait or landscape shape.
If your design contains longer wording or needs more space for detailed information, an A5 Invitation may be more suitable. If you prefer a more traditional rectangular format, an A6 Invitation provides a compact alternative.
Because square invitations do not have a portrait or landscape orientation, the design can be built around a central focal point or balanced composition. This can work particularly well for names, dates, monograms, photographs and decorative artwork.
When adapting an existing rectangular design, it is worth rearranging the layout rather than simply cropping it to fit. Giving the artwork enough space around the main wording will usually produce a cleaner result and make the invitation easier to read.
Single-sided printing works well when the front design contains all of the important event details. Double-sided printing gives you extra room for RSVP information, directions, gift details, dress codes or other supporting information without making the front of the invitation feel crowded.
Square invitations are printed on 300gsm white card, providing a firm surface for text, illustrations and photography. White peel and seal envelopes are included free with every order, giving you a convenient way to send or present the finished invitations.
Select your printed sides and required quantity before uploading your own print-ready artwork.

Square invitations have a finished size of 132 x 132mm. When preparing artwork for print, your file should include the required bleed beyond the finished edge while keeping important wording and design elements safely inside the trim line.
We require 2mm bleed on every edge, giving an overall artwork size of 136 x 136mm. 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 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 detailed graphics and photographs 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.
Square designs often use centred wording, decorative borders or symmetrical artwork, so careful positioning is particularly important. Avoid placing borders 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 square 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.
