1-2 color save-the-date card, letterpress: $450-800
*include card and envelope with return address

*include card and envelope with return address

INVITATIONS (100-125 quantity)
Letterpress vs. Flat printing

1-2 color invitation suite based on something in our collection, letterpress: $1700-2200

Seems a little high to me.

This is what I paid:

$145 for 100 STD (they were picture STD magnets) with envelopes and plastic enclosure

$490 for 100 invites with all enclosure cards and envelopes, which includes return address inprinted on the envelope.

Seems High To me,
Did you book your photographer yet? Most of them do STD for free mine did and another studio we checked out before We booked also would do them for free so get different quotes and if you did book your photo call them and ask them how much!

Re: Invitation pricing...

Thats REALLY high IMO... I paid A LOT less than that for my STD's AND A LOT LOT LOT less than that for custom made pocketfold invitations with place cards and table numbers as well...

Re: Invitation pricing...

Totally depends on what invitation you're getting. Thats about what I paid for invites but I know I picked an invite on the expensive side.

Re: Invitation pricing...

that seems high.. i just ordered my save the dates tonight from magnet street 75 STDS for 110 dollars! but it depends on what look you are going for... maybe you dont want magnets.

Re: Invitation pricing...

Def seems high.. you can get much better deals at other places.. If your looking to do a magnet for your std.. try magnetstreet.com, and try looking on weddingeleganceny.com they have much much better prices.. but I mean it also depends what you are looking for!

totally didn't read what the girl above me wrote but exactly what she said!

Re: Invitation pricing...

That seems like a crazy amount of money on invitations... especially when you can do them yourself for a fraction of that...

Re: Invitation pricing...

that seems very high to me.
i ordered my STD's from magnetstreet.com. we got about 175 of them and it came out to about $150. maybe check them out.
i also went to check out invitations a few weeks ago and found one that i liked. they priced it at about $1000 for 225 of them (included printed return address, invite, response card, and the reception card)
definitly check out other places.... sorry it was a bit long

Re: Invitation pricing...

My brother and I designed my save the dates and invitations together. Vista print did the save the dates for about $50 for 100 of them (vista print always has great coupons!) and I had 90 invitations/response cards/envelopes/directions printed by Minute Man press for $217.
