When you sit down to choose your wedding invites, you will be met with a ton of words you probably aren't very familiar with. Things like embossing, foil stamping, envelope liners, and edging will be very intriguing options to add to your invite, per Brides. But before you say yes to all the pretty things, consider your budget. Brides spoke with two invite experts who revealed that couples should allot about 6% of their overall budget to invitations. Overall, they find that invitations cost about $5,000 to $8,000 for 100 invites. But before you freak out over this number, there are a lot of things to consider.
According to Zola, the national average for wedding invites is much lower than that. In fact, they report that couples usually spend between $300 and $700 for 100 invitations. This number rises quickly when you add in save the dates, RSVP cards, and all those pretty things mentioned above. But one of the biggest ways to increase your invite cost is the way you choose to print them. According to The Knot, digital printing is a great way to save big bucks on your invites, while options for hand calligraphy or letterpress can make that number skyrocket.
