Short answer
For a large wedding, invitation costs vary widely depending on paper, printing method and design. You can keep costs down with simple digital printing or a standard card, or spend more on letterpress, foil or handmade paper. Always ask for samples before ordering.
The cost of wedding invitations for a large wedding depends on the number of guests, the style of the invitation and the printing method. A simple, single-card invitation printed digitally on standard card will be the most budget-friendly option. If you want a more premium feel, you might choose thicker paper, a textured finish, foil stamping or a bespoke design, and those choices will push the cost up.
For a large guest list, you will need more than one invitation per household, so think about how many pieces you are actually sending. You can save money by keeping the design to one card rather than a suite with multiple inserts. Another way to manage cost is to print the main invitation and put all the extra details on your wedding website, which also reduces postage.
Do not forget envelopes, and remember that you will need a few spare invitations for last-minute additions or mistakes. It is sensible to ask for a proof before you commit to the full print run. Prices can vary a lot between printers, so compare a few quotes and ask to see samples of the paper and finish before you decide.
