How much should you spend on wedding invitations?

With so many options out there, it can be overwhelming to think about how to find affordable wedding invitations that also capture your style as a couple. Etsy has tons of affordable options for every kind of wedding so you can stay on trend and in budget. While the amount you'll spend on wedding invitations depends on guest list size and printing preferences, some of the most affordable (and stunning) options from independent sellers on Etsy, especially wedding invitation templates, start around $2. When printing, opt for materials like linen or recycled paper for affordable options that don't sacrifice quality.

Can wedding invitations be emailed?

Absolutely! Sending wedding invitation templates via email is an excellent option to cut back on postage costs and paper usage, which great for both your wallet and the environment! Sending wedding invitations via email also helps ensure that your guests won't lose track of all the important details for your big day.

When should you send wedding invitations?

If you're mailing your wedding invitations, you should typically send them about eight to 10 weeks in advance of your wedding. If you're sending wedding invitation templates via email, you have a bit more flexibility since this is a much faster option that delivers all the details to your guests quickly. However, you should still aim to email your wedding invitations about six to eight weeks beforehand.

Where do you print Etsy wedding invitation templates?

Many independent sellers on Etsy will make the customized wedding invitation templates for you, print them, and send the finished product to you. Others have their own printer recommendations in the details of their wedding invitation listings, so be sure to read those carefully. If they don't, you can print your wedding invitation templates at any of your local printing stores.
