Printing

How to print a 5 x 7 football invitation at home

The two-per-sheet PDF is the home route: print it on letter-size card stock at 100% (no “fit to page”), double-sided, flipping on the short edge, then cut on the crop marks. Two 5 x 7 cards come off each sheet and fit an A7 envelope. For a single card use the 5 x 7 PDF on 5 x 7 stock, or print it on letter paper and trim.

Every design is drawn on a light page, with the team colors carried by the art and the type. A stack of invitations should not empty an ink cartridge, and the cards still read cleanly on a black-and-white printer. Gold and silver print as toned ink: a warm gold and a cool gray.

For a print shop or an online printer, send the print shop PNGs: 1575 x 2175 pixels is 5 x 7 inches plus an eighth-inch bleed at 300 dpi. To send it instead of printing it, the text-or-email PNG is sized for a phone screen and works as an email attachment or a group-chat image.

Frequently asked questions

Is the football party invitation maker free?
Yes. Every design and every download (PDF, PNG and Word) is free, with no watermark, no account and no email address.
Can I change the colors to my team's colors?
Every design has three palettes, each a two-color team-color pair such as Navy & Orange, Purple & Gold, Crimson & Cream or Kelly Green & Silver. Pick the pair closest to your team's colors under Colors; no team names or logos appear on any card.
Can I add a photo?
Yes, on the 8 designs with a photo window, such as the jumbotron, the tailgate snapshot and the senior night card. Drop in the picture and drag it until it sits where you want it.
What do I write on the back?
The back carries the date, the kickoff time and the place, the RSVP line and one short note: wear your team colors, bring a dish, kids welcome, or where to park. Open Wording ideas under the note field, or type your own.
Can I send it by text or in a group chat?
Yes. Every design downloads as a phone-sized PNG, the easiest way to send a watch party invitation by text, WhatsApp, email or a group chat.
Will printing a stack use a lot of ink?
No. Every design and every palette is drawn on a light page, with the team colors in the art and the type, so twenty invitations print at home without draining the cartridge.
