There is a limitation on card size. However, with the hundreds that I have sent (possibly a thousand), I've only had a single card returned because it was too large. This was amusing because I had sent about 50 of that one particular one out (sometimes I get a little behind with sending to new people on the list), and they all went through with the exception of that one. My typical operation is to quarter sheets of 11X14 and make the cards that size.
