In order to set your Wedding Invitation budget, you need to set first your Wedding Budget.

Planning and hosting a wedding will require a list of expenses, everything from the large items right up to the small bits and bobs. Your wedding will likely be the biggest party you've ever hosted. Every wedding tells a different story and we know that you want yours to be unique.

What is most important for you? Consider your wedding vision and your “must-haves” as you budget and plan.

The percentage that couples normally expend all the overall budget:

Catering & Venue 40 %
Photographer and Videographer 20 %
Wedding Gown and Accessories 15 %
Wedding Stationery 7- 10 %
Floral arrangement 10 %
Band or DJ 5%

North Americans spend on average $45,000 on their wedding. 7/ 10% of this will typically go to Wedding Invitations, which would be approximately $4,500.

What should be included in this budget?

The next step now is to take a look at the guest list. Normally we’d recommend 60-65% of your total guests’ size, as the number of Invitations that you’ll need. Don´t forget to add a few extra, as you’ll need to give a set to the Wedding Photographer on the Big Day and keep a few as keepsakes to be able to account for any that get lost in the mail or any surprise/last-minute additions.

If you have 125 guests, then 60% of that is 75. We’d recommend rounding up to 80 so you have enough.

Your invitation is such an important part of your Wedding. It provides an exciting opportunity to unveil the style or theme of your wedding celebration: it will be your guests’ first view into your Big Day!
