Standard size for wedding invitations

5 1/8 by 7 1/4 or 5 1/2 by 7 3/4 are pretty standard. But they have sooooo many options now! If you are looking to save on postage you can look here to see what the standard weight and sizes are. http://www.usps.com/prices/first-class-mail-prices.htm

I don't know the 'standard' wedding invite size. But I would suggest that you go with something that could fit in a #10 envelope (the long ones) or in a card envelope. I have a friend who made invites trying to save money, but they were square so they ended up paying over $1.00 each to mail them!

I used www.womancraft.com and they were so helpful! If you already have invites and know how much they weigh try the post office website: http://www.usps.com/welcome.htm?from=global_header&page=homepage

Good Luck!!

I'd recommend A7 (5x7) or A9 ( 5 1/2 x 8 1/2). They are the easiest to find envelopes for. The A7 and A9 envelopes are 1/4" larger in width and height (5 1/4x 7 1/4 and 5 3/4 x 8 3/4 respecively.

GREAT POST! I have been wondering this! Thanks for all the information!

I am not sure on the size, but as another tip leading off of the squre invites, if you have abow or somethign on the invite make sure that it goes through the mail slots they have at the post office. they will test it for you. if its too thick they charge you ecxtra. also have them weigh it.
