How to print a 5 x 7 retirement 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 color carried by the art and the type. A stack of invitations for an office or a congregation should not empty an ink cartridge, and the cards still read cleanly on a black-and-white printer. The elegant designs look best on a smooth ivory or cream cover stock; gold and silver print as toned ink, not foil.
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 team-chat image.
