How much are your wedding invites?

I only needed one and couldn't find what I wanted at all so wrote it as a story lol. Have a look online for something you like and compare the cost. Then decide which is cheaper by how much and whether you prefer a home made one and if you have the time to do it. X

Ours cost £37.09 for 50 invites with envelopes inc p&p. We got ours through Vistaprint, they have deals on a fair bit so worth a look if you are on a budget X

That sounds like a great price. I had tea towel invites and they were brilliant and all our guests loved them but they were expensive. Once we added up inserts boxes for posting and the actual postage as each had to be weighed they worked out about £7:50 each. Which in hindsight is quite ridiculous but it was what we wanted and we wouldn't change them if we could do it all again

Do whatever you are comfortable with and have the time and patience to do.

Our invitations were £4.80 each plus shipping. Quite expensive but we only needed 10 so we were able to afford the "luxury" of professionally handmade invitations. If we had had a bigger wedding, we probably would have gone for something less expensive.

£1.58 sounds good to me for handmade invitations, you'd definitely pay more for a professional to make them. I reckon there are ways to get them cheaper, if you went for printed invitations without much fuss, from Vistaprint for example. We got our Save the Dates from there and will probably get our thank you cards there as well.

I think ours were £3 each, but we also only needed ten. I might have shopped around more if I'd needed a larger quantity.

Interesting... I'm starting to think about invites and was on vistaprint last night. For a reasonably bog-standard invite, it was working out at ~60p each, minimum order of 10. Bearing in mind we'll need ~70-80, I figured that wasn't too bad.

I'm really not fussed about the invites being all singing and dancing, though. As long as it has the date, place and our names, I don't really care

We are making our own invites and I have done the basic template for them all. Just have to print out the wording and make the info cards. They are just simple window fold invites with ribbon and it came to be about £80 for 90 invites and info cards not inc. p&p

It depends what you are looking for and the impact you want to make I suppose - and of course your overall budget!

We have been looking at getting letterpress invites, our friend got some done and they were stunning, really luxurious. I've been pricing letterpress invitations up and 50 invitations are about £210 which is more expensive than some online companies but the quality is far superior, my friend framed hers after the wedding they were so nice, little pieces of art, real mementos. The hand made route is lovely too but doing them yourself will be stressful I think and the finished product might look a bit amateurish or it would if I tried anyway!

I DIY'd everything on our invites, including printing. So for around 100 invites it worked out at around £20.00

Ours are from pocketfold invites. They were £3.50 each and included two inserts and an RSVP

We were diy - max 70p (was 35p until i remembered envelopes........). we did have access to embossing powders/stamps though. really loved the making though to be honest, it was a fun task for OH and i.

Ours were £4 each for a customised handmade invitation from a professional.

vistaprint is a good idea. You could always add some embellishments if you wanted to make them a bit more glitzy/personal.

I have been looking at letterpress invitations, they are stunning. From Montpelier Press http://montpelierpress.co.uk/ they are coming in at £4 an invite which I think is really good value for a luxury invitation - really beautiful.

We had 83 for just over £209-ish

I think at this rate I'll be handmaking ours. Just doing our STDs now and they're working out about £5 for all the materials excluding printing costs and one-offs like rotary trimmers!

Some of the leftover materials will be used in my bouquet and the invites too.

The invites will be up to about £1.50 each if I scale up how much these have cost, which is pretty good!

I've used vistaprint for my save the dates but didn't like any of the wedding invites. I've got about 50 invites needed for day guests. I'm quite crafty and love getting stuck into a project so I'm happy to make them, I have enough time!! Thanks all ?

My invitations, STDs and thanks notelets came out to less that £1 each incl VAT through Vistaprint, but everything was simple: all detail was on a free wedding website.

We needed about 30 something invites, so bought 40 incase any mistakes etc. I love ours, we didn't want to spend too much. But for £1 per invite these are amazing. They come with RSVP cards and you can choose your own wording and font and colour of ribbon. These are from Ebay.
