Might be easier to just get a perforation cutter like this or this, then she can make any page tearable as she likes.
You could just buy your favorite one without perforations and buy something like this: amazon "wheel cutter perforation" and perhaps a metal ruler. With them you can make your own perforated pages.
Have you considered perforating the pages yourself with something like this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001GLP39A
I buy unperforated and perforate them myself.

So originally, my thought was buying blank seal and send card stock (LCI Paper has blanks that are ready to print) and running them through a laser printer.
After talking with my friend, M, I made an Excel template (Download, and then zoom out til you can see it all!) to give her that kind of outlines it. I created a blank one you can download here. In my head, 1 pixel = 0.01 inch, so each row is .25" high, each column is 0.25" wide, with each square with a dotted outline is one square inch.
Using my Excel sheet mockup (and a bunch of Pinterest inspiration), M created our proofs for a digital printer she works with. Most printers should be able to at least print it, as the full size is 12.75" long by 6" wide, which would be 1 invite to 1 piece of legal sized cardstock. Ideally, they could cut it down to size, and then perforate and fold it for you, but worst case, that part can be done with a paper cutter, self healing mat, bone folder, and perforating tool (I really like this one, but definitely use a ruler or something to guide you as it's pretty easy to curve off track).
The more folds and perforations the printer does, the more expensive it gets, of course, but the design and printing are the hardest parts!
This is the tool I use, although it was only $9 when I bought it a couple years ago. It's a fine product, but idk if I'd spend more than $10 for it again. There are similar products on amazon.
It works well. When utilized with a straight edge, it produces a very professional perforation. I can perforate an entire Midori brand refill in ~4 passes w/ moderate to heavy pressure. It's another step in preping my Midori, but I would not call it tedious or troublesome at all.
The only drawback I've experienced is that it may work too well, in that if I keep a perforated page in the notebook and turn past it, the page folds at the perforation line and not at the natural fold of the refill. I used to worry that this would eventually result in one of these pages unintentionally falling out, but nowadays I leave a small section of the pages' top and bottom unperforated to ensure they stay in. It hasn't really been a problem, and I imagine that if you use a tool with wider spaced cutting sections, it would be different.
Make a circle with this first?
