    These printable May Happy Planner Classic inserts and US letter planner pages are an easy to way to make your planner beautiful and functional.

    A preview of six May themed planner printable pages. Pages include a May divider page with tulips and wisteria, a two page monthly calendar spread, a gratitude journal page, and a two page vertical weekly spread.

    This post may include affiliate links which means I may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

    There are two sets of May planner inserts available in this post. You can snag a fully functional 6 page set of free planner inserts or a very affordably priced May planner kit with 23 pages including a habit tracker, goal setting sheets, printable Happy Planner stickers, and more. Keep scrolling to see everything that's included and make your selection!

    If it's still April when you find this post, be sure to grab your printable April planner pages here. You can find menu planner printables for May here and download June menu planner printables in this post.

    How to print planner inserts

    This planner has lovely digital watercolor clipart. To help your pages look and feel more professional, follow these two tips:

    1. Use a bright white, heavyweight “premium” printer paper, not whatever cheap copy paper is in the printer at work. I use HP 32# bright white paper for my printables for bright, professional looking results.

    To see the 32 lb bright white paper paper in use and compare it to other papers, visit this post on the best paper for planner inserts. I tested the same floral planner printable pages on multiple different papers and cardstocks so you can see the difference and make an informed decision.

    • Made in USA: HP Papers is sourced from renewable forest resources and has achieved production with 0% deforestation in North America.

    2. Print the planner pages at 100% size for the Happy Planner Classic and US letter sizes, unless you're intentionally scaling them down. The artwork and functional planner boxes are positioned to fit inside standard print margins.

    Many planner printables have artwork that runs all the way to the edges. It looks great on your computer, but you either have to scale the pages or set up marginless printing (if your printer can even print without a margin). These planner inserts are use-friendly and ready to print.

    Programs sometimes default to scaling the Happy Planner pages up to fill the entire page. Always check before printing to make sure sure you’re printing at actual size or 100% size.

    Your print dialogue box should look similar to the screenshot below (page shown is from the February planer printable set):

    How to use US letter planner inserts

    It’s easy to use letter sized planner pages in a three-ring binder or Happy Planner Big. Just print, hole punch, and enjoy your new printable planner pages. Please note that the boxes on the letter pages are not an exact match for the big Happy Planner box sizes.

    Letter sized pages generally print easily on A4 paper, though you may want to select "scale to fit" if you are using A4 sheets.

    How to print and trim Happy Planner Classic inserts

    The Happy Planner insert pages are not just scaled down versions of the letter size. I am personally a Happy Planner Classic user. That’s why the Happy Planner boxes are the correct size for your HPC stickers. The printable planner stickers I share are also sized for Happy Planner Classic, so be sure to check out these free printable planner stickers.

    First, print your pages. As described above, make sure to print at 100% size.

    Trim your printed pages on top of the light grey dotted line. This line is exactly the right size for HPC inserts, so cut directly on the line.

    I recommend using a paper cutter or trimmer (not scissors) for quick, clean results. I use a Fiskar’s paper trimmer with a guide wire, as seen in the video below featuring the October planner pages:

    A guillotine-style paper cutter is faster than a sliding paper trimmer and can allow you to cut several pages at once, if you're careful. I don't usually use mine because I don't like pulling it out during the day when my three year old is home.

    Next, hole punch your Happy Planner pages using your Happy Planner punch. This punch seems to go in and out of stock frequently. It was out of stock when I wanted it, then I had to wait several weeks for it to become available again. Sometimes it’s on Amazon, but sometimes it’s in stock with Michael’s at a lower price.

    Finally, insert the pages in your planner and enjoy! I recommend using plenty of stickers. =)

    Printable stickers are an easy way to make your planner fun and functional. You do not need to own a cutting machine or sticker maker to use printable stickers. Discover more about the benefits of printable stickers and how to cut stickers without a cutting machine.

    How to print letter sized PDFs for other sizes

    You can print letter sized pages to scale and trim them to fit other planner sizes. I've already done the math for you - use the planner sizing chart below as your guide:

    The goals planner pages can help you set and achieve your weekly and daily goals. If setting and achieving goals is challenging for you, be sure to visit this post on how to set weekly goals that work.

    A preview of two printable goal planner pages with watercolor spring floral clipart. The top page is for weekly goals and the bottom page is for daily goals. Each page has space to record the date, the day or week's top 3 goals, action steps, notes, and a check-in.

    Here's a preview of the printable May sticker sheets. There are three sheets of HPC-sized sticker with a fun spring color palette. The washi tape printables are a 8" long so you can cut them down to size and use them in multiple places without printing the same sheet multiple times. This month's stickers feature new habit tracker and bill tracker stickers that I introduced in the April planner printables.
