Invitation Maker

Choose the occasion

Start with the event type and the two lines guests should notice first.

Create a personal invitation without uploading names, addresses, or RSVP details. Choose an occasion and visual theme, add the essential who, what, when, and where, then refine the layout and colors in a live preview. The finished download is a crisp 1500 × 2100 px PNG in the familiar 5 × 7 inch proportion, suitable for digital sharing or straightforward home and photo printing.

What belongs on an invitation?

A useful invitation answers the questions a guest will ask: who is hosting or being celebrated, what the occasion is, when it starts, where it takes place, and how to respond. Add a dress code, age guidance, registry note, or arrival instruction only when it helps the guest. Put the event name and date high in the visual hierarchy; keep the venue, address, and RSVP line easy to scan.

Size, resolution, and printing

The portrait design is 1500 × 2100 pixels, and landscape swaps those dimensions. That is a 5 × 7 inch layout at 300 pixels per inch, a common invitation size. Keep important wording away from the edge: commercial printers trim with small tolerances, so a generous safe margin protects names and dates.

This tool exports a flat RGB PNG. The pixel dimensions are appropriate for a 5 × 7 print at 300 PPI, but the file does not contain crop marks, a dedicated bleed area, embedded fonts, or a CMYK color profile. If a commercial printer asks for bleed—often 0.125 inch (about 3 mm)—place the PNG into the printer’s template or request a proof before ordering. Screen and print colors can also differ.

Wording and timing tips

Write dates and addresses in full when formality matters, and state the time zone for online or destination events. For a formal celebration, invitations are commonly sent several weeks ahead; casual gatherings may need much less notice. The right lead time ultimately depends on travel, venue deadlines, and when you need the final guest count.

It creates a 5 × 7 inch-proportion design: 1500 × 2100 px in portrait or 2100 × 1500 px in landscape. At 300 pixels per inch, those dimensions map to a 5 × 7 print.
