How much do wedding invitations cost for 120 people?

Short answer

For 120 people, you will probably need around 60 to 80 invitations, depending on how many guests share households. The total cost depends on your design, paper and printing choices, so compare quotes from a few printers.

A guest list of 120 people usually means around 60 to 80 invitations, because many guests will be couples or families living together. The exact number depends on your guest list, so the first step is to group everyone by household. That gives you a clear number to work with.

Once you know how many invitations you need, you can start comparing styles and prices. A simple single-card design is the most budget-friendly. If you want a more formal look, you might choose a thicker card, a pocket fold or an extra details card. Each addition raises the cost.

Printing method matters too. Digital printing is usually the most affordable. Letterpress, foil stamping or thermography cost more but give a textured, premium finish. If you are handy, you could design your own invitations and print them at home, but remember the cost of good paper and ink.

For a mid-sized guest list, you might find that ordering in bulk brings the price per invitation down slightly. Many printers offer tiered pricing, so 75 invitations may cost less per piece than 50. Ask for a quote for your exact quantity.

Do not forget the extras: envelopes, inner envelopes, RSVP cards and postage. Postage can add up, especially if your invitations are heavy or oddly shaped. Weigh a finished invitation at the post office before you buy stamps.
