How to print invitations at home, two to a page

The usual way is one invitation in the middle of each sheet, then scissors. Most of the paper is wasted and no two cards come out the same size. There's a better way that takes a minute.

Two 5 × 7 invitations fit on one letter sheet

Turned sideways, two 5 × 7 cards fit on 8.5 × 11 with room to spare. Twelve invitations is six sheets instead of twelve. The trick is getting them lined up, at exact size, with something to cut against.

Cut marks make every card the same

Cut marks are short lines in the margin showing exactly where each cut goes. Line a ruler or a paper trimmer up with them and every card comes out identical. A small gap between the cards means a slightly wandering cut takes white paper, not the next invitation.

Doing it with PrintSanity

1. Upload your invitation: from ChatGPT, Canva, a photo, anything.
2. Pick Invite · 5 × 7. It's fitted to the card without cropping, and a QR code that won't scan is rebuilt.
3. Download the sheet: as many as fit on letter or A4, turned to fit, with cut marks.

Print at 100% ("actual size"), not "fit to page", or the cards shrink. Card stock around 80–110 lb feels like a real invitation and goes through most home printers.
