How much does wedding invite printing cost?

The price of printing your wedding invitations depends on choices you make. Heavier paper, textured finishes, foil stamping, letterpress or edge painting all push the cost up. Digital printing is usually the most affordable route, while letterpress or foil is a premium option. The number of colours on the design also matters, as does the size and shape of the card.

Your quantity affects the price per invite. Most printers have a setup cost, so ordering 100 is often better value per piece than ordering 50. But do not over-order just to save a few pence per card, because you will be left with unused stationery.

Ask each printer for a full breakdown: printing, paper, envelopes, any inserts, and delivery. Then compare the totals. Some printers include envelope addressing or free proofs, which can change the real cost. Always request a sample pack before you choose, and check whether the printer offers a discount for combining your invites with thank-you cards or order of service booklets.
