Average Wedding Invitation Cost?

This all depends on how many you're wanting to buy, how elaborate you want them to be, and where you purchase them from!

We bought our save the date's from Minted, and chose the postcard layout to save money. We also had a discount code, so we put that towards the total amount! I think they ended up being $95 for 105 save the dates. They also came with free recipient & return addressing, so we don't have to write all of the addresses out!

There are def. more cost efficient options out there such as Etsy, VistaPrint, Shutterfly, Zola, etc!

Our venue has an all inclusive package & invitations are included but with a budget of $225 for 100 invitations. We ordered 75 invitations but went over by $115 since we had them print addresses on the invitations/RSVP envelopes & RSVP cards weren’t included so that was an additional charge. I don’t regret having them print everything since my handwriting is horrible but most importantly it saved me time!

The invitation cost really depends on how many you order, how fancy they are/what materials they're made of, where you buy them, etc. I bought mine on Etsy - we got 90 invitations (envelopes included) for $155 (plus $10 tax and $10 shipping). The invitations each included a set of three cards: the main invitation, a details card for room block info and wedding website, and an RSVP card.

The cost depends on how elaborate you want your invites to be. I went the custom route with the help of my bridesmaid who is also a graphic designer. She had designed her invites for her and her uncle’s wedding and had offered her talent to me. I’m spending about $907 for 55 invites (not including stamps) which comes out to about $16.50 each. It’s a splurge but I know no one else will have my invite design. And it’s still wayyyy cheaper than actually hiring someone to custom design something.
I paid $20 for a new font, $7.50 for some digital graphics files, $119 for addressed rsvp and outer envelopes, $22 for paper to cut into envelope liners and bands, $28 for charms to top the belly band, and $712 for invites itself (this is with a 25% discount).
The invites were designed by my bridesmaid and myself and printing was outsourced to a printing company. The invites included the invite card itself, the back of the invite cards, rsvp cards, and details cards. Things that increased the cost included get foil printing on the front, and foil+digital on the back.

Hello, I am paying $455 for 100 invites. It was $3 per invite and $155 for shipping.


They are acrylic. Exactly like this with the box and everything.
The cost of shipping will be about $2.19 each, but only about 40 will be shipped, the others will be hand delivered.

We went with Shutterfly, about $100-$150. We had just under 100. Also comes with return address stamps! I always recommend Shutterfly.

Definitely depends on where you buy them and how elaborate you want them to be. My invitations are partially custom from Zazzle (took an existing design and asked the designer to create a custom color and make a few additional changes) and have a purple watercolor background to match my wedding colors. I paid $260 for 50 invitations with shipping included - main invitation, details card, rsvp card, belly band, and envelope with a liner. Paying around $150 for a digital calligrapher to address the envelopes.

We paid around $214 for invitations and postage. I believe that was for 70 invitations.

Depends on where you go. We went to Ann’s bridal bargains and pays $75 for 75 invites (the invitation sets are 99 cent a piece) and it came with the rsvp card. With stamps I wanna say it was $125 all together! The quality of the invites were great too!! Going there again for my new invites!

It depends on how elaborate you want your invitations to be, as well as the quality. We spent $850 on 125 invitation suites (not including stamps). The higher cost was because we used a highly reputable designer, and we wanted fancy invitations because we had a formal wedding. That being said, we used Minted for our save the dates and only spent about $200, and the quality of Minted was great!

We are spending $735 for 55 sets that includes: invitation, RSVP card & return envelope, one details card, inner envelope, outer envelope, all envelopes to be addressed.

We paid around $90 for 60 invites (invitation + details card + address labels) from magnetstreet. They had a 75% discount when we ordered and they seem to have discounts quite frequently. They are supposed to come Thursday and we'll send them out on the weekend.

We're only doing online RSVP to save money. And because we have a short engagement (3 1/2 months) we sent out "Save the Dates" per email as soon as we knew the date for sure (I think the week of Christmas).

It definitely depends on what you go with. We used Ann's Bridal Bargains, which has invites (with RSVP card included) for 99 cents. I got them at a 30% off sale as well, so they were super cheap, with return address printed on the envelopes.

We spent $870 on 75 invites but it of course depends on what you want. I had my invites hand painted and on handmade paper.
