How Much Should I Budget for Wedding Stationery?
Think of your stationery as your wedding's first chapter. It’s the initial encounter your guests have with your celebration, and it communicates the level of detail and care you're pouring into the entire day.
Here’s the industry truth to help you plan: a long-held benchmark suggests couples allocate 5–7% of their total wedding budget to their complete stationery suite. This covers everything from Save the Dates and invitations to the cohesive on-the-day pieces like menus, place cards, and statement signage.
Your final investment will be shaped by your guest list, your chosen print finishes, and your design tier. From the minimalist elegance of digital print to the deep, tactile impression of letterpress and the luminous shine of foil—each choice contributes to the final impact.
What Our Couples Typically Invest
Most of our couples invest an average of $1,200 for a fine art, digitally printed invitation suite, and anywhere from $400 to $2,500+ on their on-the-day signage and stationery, depending on the scale and creative scope.
Your final investment is shaped by your guest list, your chosen design tier, and your print finishes. Some couples opt for the beauty of refined digital printing, while others embrace a fully bespoke experience with tactile finishes like letterpress, foil, and acrylic.
