How It Works

Wedding invitation suites typically cost $400-$1,200 for 100 invitations. The total stationery budget (save-the-dates, invitations, thank-you cards) is usually 2-3% of the wedding budget.

The Formula

Total = (Per-Invite Print Cost + Envelope + Postage + RSVP + Extras) x Count

Variables

Print Cost/ea — DIY $1.50, Standard $3.50, Letterpress $6, Foil $7, Engraved $10
Postage — Current USPS first-class letter rate ($0.73 in 2025)

Example

120 standard invitations with RSVP cards: Print $420 + Envelopes $60 + Postage $88 + RSVP $268 = $836.
