HANDMADE INVITATIONS AND FINE STATIONERY
There are several choices when deciding on the size of an invitation. The choices are based on envelope size, style preference and perhaps, postage requirements. Envelopes come in standard sizes, so unless it is a custom made envelope, design an invitation that is approximately 1/4" less than the pre-selected envelope length and width. If ribbon, bows or other bulk items are included on the invitation, the size differential may need to be larger.
Here is a standard invitation envelope size chart.
4 bar 3-5/8 x 5-1/8
5 bar 4-1/8 x 5-1/2

5-1/2 bar or A-2 4-3/8 x 5-3/4
6 bar or A-6 4-3/4 x 6-1/2
Lee or A-7 5-1/4 x 7-1/4
A-9 5-3/4 x 8-3/4
Some invitation companies have their own non-standard size cards and envelopes.
Square envelopes are also available in 5 x 5, 5-1/2 x 5-1/2, 6 x 6, 6-1/2 x 6-1/2 and larger.
Standard legal size No. 10 (4-1/8 x 9-1/2) envelopes are also popular invitation sizes.
