QUESTION: Do I need a 5x7 envelope for a 5x7 card?
ANSWER: A card must be 1/8 to 1/4 inch smaller than its envelope to fit properly inside. Therefore, the appropriate size envelope for an A7 5x7 card is a A7, 5 1/4 x 7 1/4 size envelope.
QUESTION: Do 5x7 invitation cards require additional postage?
ANSWER: Based on shape and size, a 5x7 card requires no additional postage. However, anything over one ounce (as most invitation ensembles are) will require additional postage. We recommend bringing one finished ensemble to your local post office to determine accurate postage. We also recommend hand cancelling invitations to protect them from high speed sorting machinery.

ANSWER: Our A7 cards are 5 1/8 x 7 inches, following standard A-card size guidelines. However, we often refer to them as our 5x7 paper size, as this is what customers commonly refer to them as.

Customer Questions for A7 Blank Cards
Question: I am trying to order flat 5x7 wedding invitations and also order blank flat invites to mat them on. I understand the 5x7 invites are actually 5 1/8 by 7. If I want an even 1/8 inch of mat around the entire invite, what size should I get to mat? The 5 3/8 by 7 1/4? Will that provide an even mat?
Answer: Great question!! That combination would give you the 1/8th inch around on each side. Order our A7.5 backer cards here.
Question: I don't understand, what is an A7?
Answer: A7 is a standard card size (5 1/8 x 7) and terminology used in the social invitation industry. "A" designation for Announcement and "7" designation for the size. For simplicity, you'd match an A7 card with an A7 Envelope, which are perfectly sized to fit each other. There is an entire series of A-size cards and envelopes to work with.
