Paper!

Make your own if you have the time:

Otherwise, here's a quick guide.
Generally you're safe with simple cardstock, 160 to 205 gsm (the thickness of paper) to print on.
Color is up to you, but keep it a single flat color, or a homogeneous mix of things, like kinwashi paper (pictured below)

A good idea is to keep the important directions small, or foldable, so when they come, they can keep it in their wallet/purse for quick pulling out. Obviously a square wont go into a wallet that easily.
Your main invitation piece, like the one I have, is fine as a square, however. They don't need to bring that.
