Parish magazines, orders of service, welcome cards and invitation flyers for churches and chapels
Most churches print an A5 stapled parish magazine or newsletter, orders of service for weddings, funerals and festivals, and A5 or A6 invitation flyers delivered round the parish before Christmas, Easter and Harvest; a welcome card sits on the table by the door. This page covers the products, live prices, ready-made packs, sample layouts, wording, the church year as a print calendar and the charity and copyright points to check.
A church's print has two audiences: the people who come every week, and the much larger number in the parish who come at Christmas, for a christening or a funeral, or not at all. Good church print keeps the first group informed and gives the second a simple, friendly reason to come through the door.
An A5 booklet, monthly or quarterly: service times, news, the vicar's or minister's letter, rotas, group listings and local advertisers who help pay for it. Delivered by volunteers or picked up at the back.
An A5 or A6 card through every door in the parish listing the carol service, crib or Christingle service, midnight communion and Christmas morning, or Holy Week and Easter Day.
A5 booklets for weddings, baptisms, funerals, confirmations and festival services, with readings, prayers and hymn words (with the right copyright licence).
A card for visitors: what happens in a service, where the toilets and children's area are, whether there is coffee afterwards, and a slip to leave contact details if they want to.
Flyers for toddler groups, youth clubs, Alpha or other courses, lunch clubs, foodbank collections, concerts and the summer fete.
A DL card explaining how to give, standing order and online giving, and a Gift Aid declaration so the church can claim on eligible donations.
A folded leaflet for a roof, organ or heating appeal, explaining the work, the cost, how much is raised and how to give.
What we would print for a church or chapel. The 'from' price is live for the lowest-cost options; the example line is a typical order.

The magazine is one month's run; welcome and giving cards last most churches a year.
Three layouts we drew for an invented parish. Each one is written for someone who does not come every week, so it says plainly what happens, when and who it is for.
These are sample designs we made to show layout and wording. The business names, numbers and addresses are invented.

Church copy reads best when it is warm, plain and practical. Avoid church jargon on anything going to the wider parish: say 'family service' rather than 'all-age eucharist' if that is what you mean. Replace the bracketed parts.
The church year gives you a print calendar. The big outreach moments are Christmas and Easter, with Harvest, Remembrance and summer events in between.
Peaks before Christmas (orders by mid November) and Easter (March or April, depending on the date). September brings Harvest, back-to-school groups and courses. June and July cover fetes, weddings and summer clubs.
Christmas invitations in the last week of November or the first week of Advent. Easter invitations two to three weeks before Palm Sunday. Harvest and autumn course flyers in early September. Order with the Saver working days on the product page plus delivery in mind, and earlier still before Christmas.
A rural or small-town parish might have 1,000 to 3,000 households; an urban parish can be much larger. Print enough for every door you can reach with volunteers, plus extra for schools, care homes and the church itself. Magazines are usually printed to the circulation plus 10 per cent.
Door to door by volunteers, in sections everyone can manage in an hour. Local schools (with the head's agreement), care homes, the library, shops and community centres. Funeral directors and wedding venues for baptism, wedding and funeral information.
Christmas is the one time many people are actively looking for a service to go to, so invitations work better then than at other times. A modest rise in attendance at festival services is a common result; the longer-term effect comes from welcoming those visitors well when they arrive.
Church print has to be readable by everyone, in a building that is not always brightly lit. Choose clear type, good contrast and stock that suits how each piece is used.
| Job | Size | Paper | Finish | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parish magazine | A5, 16 pages | 130gsm silk | Self cover | Light, low cost per copy, posts easily. |
| Order of service | A5, 8 to 24 pages | As the product | Stapled | Lies open in the hand during a service. |
| Festival invitation | A5 | 170gsm silk | None | Feels like a card, not junk mail. |
| Welcome card | A6 | 300gsm smooth white card | Uncoated | Takes a pen for the contact slip. |
| Gift Aid card | DL | 300gsm smooth white card | Uncoated | Writable declaration form. |
Set body text at 11 or 12 point for orders of service and magazines, and offer some large-print copies at 16 point for those who need them. Avoid pale grey text and text over photos of stained glass.
Silk paper reduces glare under church lighting better than gloss. For anything people write on, use uncoated card.
Churches are charities, and some of their print is fundraising material. These are the points churches most often check; your diocese, circuit, denomination or the Charity Commission can confirm what applies to you.
In England and Wales, a registered charity with gross income over £10,000 in its last financial year must state that it is a registered charity on notices, adverts and other documents asking for money. Many parish churches are excepted or exempt charities rather than registered, so check your status first.
Charities Act 2011, s39Charities registered in Scotland have their own rules on showing the charity name, number and status on documents, including fundraising material. Check OSCR's guidance.
OSCR, the Scottish Charity RegulatorA printed Gift Aid declaration must include the wording HMRC requires, such as the donor's full name and home address and a statement that they understand they must pay enough tax. Use HMRC's model wording rather than writing your own.
HMRC: Gift Aid declarationsMany hymn and worship song words are in copyright. Printing them in orders of service or song sheets usually needs a licence, such as a church copyright licence, or the publisher's permission. Include your licence number where required.
CCLI: church copyright licensingAppeal leaflets should be honest about what the money is for and how much is needed. The Code of Fundraising Practice applies to charitable fundraising, including churches that fundraise from the public.
Fundraising Regulator: the CodeThis is general guidance from a printer, not legal advice. Check with your denomination, the Charity Commission or OSCR.
Every service with its day, date and time, what each one is like (candlelit carols, a short crib service for young children, midnight communion), the church's address, access information such as step-free entry and a hearing loop, and a clear 'everyone welcome'. A photo of the church helps people recognise it.
A5 is the usual size: easy to hold, fits through letterboxes and folds from standard sheets. Sixteen pages on 130gsm silk with a self cover suits most monthly magazines. Go to 20 or 24 pages if you carry a lot of local advertising or a children's section.
A registered charity in England and Wales with income over £10,000 must say it is a registered charity on documents asking for money. Many churches are excepted or exempt charities instead, with different rules. Check your status with your diocese, denomination or the Charity Commission before printing.
Words still in copyright usually need a licence or permission to reproduce. Most churches hold a church copyright licence, which covers many hymns and songs; include the licence number where required. Traditional hymns whose authors died long ago are often out of copyright.
In the last week of November or the first week of Advent. That is early enough for families to plan and late enough for the leaflet to still be on the side when they do. Order by mid November to allow for printing and delivery.
One for every household you can reach with volunteers, plus copies for schools, care homes, shops and the church itself. Many parishes print 1,000 to 3,000; larger urban parishes print more and deliver in sections. Volunteers usually manage 100 to 200 homes an hour.
Yes. Send your text and photos through our Artwork and Design Service. Every upload is checked automatically for size, bleed and resolution, and File check (£4.99) adds a person reviewing your file before printing. For regular magazines, a fixed template keeps each issue quick to update.
