What is the average cost of 100 wedding invites?

Short answer

The average cost of 100 wedding invitations varies widely, from a low-cost DIY option to a premium printed set. There is no single official average, so your cost depends on design, paper and printing method.

There is no official average cost for 100 wedding invitations in the UK, because prices range from almost nothing to several pounds per card. If you design them yourself using a free tool and print at home, you might only pay for card and envelopes, which can be very affordable. If you order from a print shop, the cost rises with the quality of paper, the number of colours, and any extras like foil or embossing.

A good way to think about it is to set a budget per invitation, including the envelope and postage. For example, you might decide you want to spend a certain amount per guest. Then multiply that by your guest count. That gives you a total for the whole set, not just the card itself.

You can reduce costs by ordering in bulk, choosing a standard size, and avoiding fancy finishes. You can also skip the reply card and use your wedding website for RSVPs instead, which saves paper and postage. Many couples now send a simple card with a QR code linking to their online RSVP page.

If you want a professional look without the price, consider a digital invitation sent by email or private link. That costs nothing and is eco-friendly. For guests who are not online, you can print a small number of cards just for them.
