Hi,

I want to create my own map/direction card to add to my wedding invitations. I found some great tutorials through all the Bees. I would like to print the map/direction card four to a page. However, I was wondering what paper size I should use to create the map/direction card. Or what size card stock I should purchase to print the map/direction cards on? I used Adobe AI to create my map.

Any help/feedback is much appreciated.

@swtd12eams: I used the same size as my other cards for my invites. The map/directions cards were 4bar size. I made them so that I could print 4 to a full sheet of paper.

@heather5743 I would like to print mine 4 to a full sheet of paper too. I'm a bit confused where you said, "the map/direction cards were 4bar size." What does that mean? Also, will you be printing it in Word? I'm having trouble putting it 4 to page. Can you help me out?

Thanks.

4bar are envelopes that measure 3 5/8" x 5 1/8". To do four per page, I would make them 4.25x5.25, with a .25 gap to cut off on the bottom. I use Photoshop for most of my stuff. To print 4 per page, I flatten the image, and then select all layers on the right. I then duplicate the multiple layers and move the layers together to the place where I want them. Oh, and the canvas size would be 8.5x11 as well...

I hope this helps!
