How to print double-sided invitations?

Double-sided printing is straightforward if your home printer supports automatic duplex. In the print settings, select the option for two-sided printing and choose the flip on long edge or short edge setting, depending on how you want the back to read. Most printers label this clearly, but if you are unsure, print a test on plain paper first.

If your printer does not have duplex, you can print one side, then flip the paper manually. The trick is to know which way your printer pulls the paper in. Many printers take paper from the top and output it face up, while others output face down. Print a small test with a corner mark to see which edge lands where, then flip the paper accordingly.

For thick card, check your printer's maximum paper weight. Heavy card can jam or curl. If it does, try printing one side at a time and let the card rest flat between prints. For a professional finish, many couples choose to have double-sided invites printed by a commercial printer, which avoids the hassle and gives a cleaner result.
