Printing

How to print a 5 x 7 New Year's 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. 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 light paper, with the color carried by the art and the type. That is deliberate: a stack of twenty invitations should not empty an ink cartridge, and the cards still read cleanly on a black-and-white printer.

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 New Year's 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 year on the card?
Yes. Wherever a design shows the year, such as Cheers to 2027, it is typed text, so it can say any year you like. The cards work again next December.
What do I write on the back?
The back carries the date, time and place, the RSVP line and one short note. Open Wording ideas under the note field for a dress code, a potluck reminder, a funny line or a Lunar New Year greeting, or type your own.
Is there a Chinese New Year invitation?
Yes. The Lunar New Year designs cover a reunion dinner, a dumpling party, red envelopes and the Lantern Festival. Lunar New Year 2027 falls on Saturday, February 6.
Can I print a blank one and write it by hand?
Yes. Tick Leave the details blank and every line except the headline prints empty, ready for a pen.
Will these use up my printer ink?
No. Every design and every color option is drawn on light paper, with color in the art and type rather than a full dark background, so a stack prints at home without draining the cartridge.
