13 best wedding invitation websites for online, print, and custom invites (2024)

In the age of the internet, nearly all of your wedding planning can be conducted online—from researching and booking venues and caterers to shopping for your wedding dress and table decor. It makes sense, then, that more and more couples are heading to the web for their wedding invitation needs. The hardest part of shopping for wedding stationery online? Narrowing down the sheer number of stellar wedding invitation websites out there.

Here, we offer a list of our 13 favorite wedding invitation websites, along with some helpful resources for deciding how much you should spend—and how to save as much as possible when sending out your invites.

How much do wedding invitations cost?

The typical cost of wedding invitations ranges from $0 to $30 per invitation or more. As with almost everything in life, you’ll get what you pay for. Free or overly inexpensive wedding invitations are often less exciting and unique than those you pay for. Still, that’s not always the case. A great way to save money on your big day is to scour free wedding invitation websites and see what pops out at you. You might just find the invitation of your dreams.

If you’re planning to pay for your wedding invitations, figure out how many you need, and decide on a budget ahead of time. The cost of your invitations will depend on a slew of factors, including the paper type and quality (if you’re going the printed route), the number of invitations you order, whether the invitations are delivered electronically or via a shipper, and what sorts of customizations you request. On a strict budget? There are always ways to save money on wedding invitations and allocate those funds to other areas of your wedding, without sacrificing style and efficiency.
