How much do modern wedding invitations cost?

Sets from $8 to $20 each, depending on quantity and finish, with the invitation, RSVP card, envelope, raised printing and a name label for every guest. Keepsake box sets sit at the top of the range.

We're a wholesale printer as well as a design studio, so you pay trade prices with no middleman, up to 30% less than most Melbourne stationers.

Honest pricing: you pay for your printed sets, never for the design. Design sessions, proofs and unlimited revisions are included.

We quote any quantity, from an intimate list to a very large one. Most modern designs sit in the lower to middle of our range: the impact comes from the layout and colour, not from stacking finishes. Acrylic costs more than card, and we price it with your quote.

“You were very helpful, responsive and understanding when it came to our designs and budgets.”

Questions we hear

Design concept: sage and cream colour-block card

“Everyone who received one commented on how beautiful they were.”

Barbara and Wade

Will a modern invitation date?

Trends date; good type does not. We keep the layout bold but the wording classic, and print on paper that will still look right in your album.

Can older guests read a modern invitation?

Yes. We check every layout for size and contrast, keep the details in a clear typeface, and can add a printed details card for guests who prefer paper to a website.

Do you print acrylic invitations?

Yes, printed in white ink with a matching card or envelope. Acrylic takes longer and costs more than card, so we confirm both with your quote.

Do you print acrylic invitations?

What is the difference between modern and minimalist?

Minimalist is quiet: small type, one finish and lots of space. Modern is bold: big type, colour and shape. Both stay easy to read.
