You want to be able to feel the paper, to see it up close and to impress your guests!

Whether you want to print at home or you plan to order your prints at a local or online print shop, we have found some great suppliers of paper and printing services.


HOME PRINTING

Our invitation templates and printable games and decorations are all designed with home printing in mind. With our detailed instruction guide, this will be an easy and fun DIY project that anyone can do!

For home printing, you will need the following items:

  • a quality printer
  • card stock
  • a ruler
  • an (X-acto) knife
  • a cutting mat
  • a paper trimmer (optional)
  • scissors (optional)

We recommend to use card stock of at least 110 lb. Please make sure your printer will accept the weight of the paper.

Paper and Office Supplies


We have gathered some great suppliers of really nice card stock and office supplies for your party printables.

Staples regularly runs sales on paper and card stock, so you might want to check them out for a good deal. And Amazon has a very large supply of different kinds of paper. If you have a specialty card stock in mind, Amazon is the place to shop. Paper Source has a great variety of card stock and beautiful envelopes.


LOCAL OR ONLINE PRINT SHOPS


If you feel like your printer is not up for the job of printing your party stationery, you can order your prints at a local or online print shop.

Many of these shops will let you send or upload your file to their site, select a paper stock and simply pick up the print-outs in 1-2 days.

If you are dealing with one of our editable templates, we highly recommend that you convert your final PDF to a JPG prior to submitting your file. This will ensure that none of the text gets changed or removed by accident during the file handling process.

Our detailed instruction guide with tips on how to convert your PDF template to a JPG file is included with every purchase.
