I am trying to print wedding invitations on red paper, but I cannot see the
print. Is it possible to print on dark paper?

Not unless you want to print with a colour darker than the red. If you want
to print with a lighter coloured ink, you need a print shop.

Just expanding on Graham's reply -

Keep in mind that typical printers rely on the paper color for white...
There is no such thing as "white ink" unless you have it custom-mixed in
commercial printing or specialized printers. In order to render white
standard printers apply no ink, so the white paper shows through. Likewise,
light colors are rendered by thin/sparse application of other colors so the
paper shows through - just less so than if white. Therefore, the darker the
paper color the darker the ink you have to apply to get it to show up well.
