Printed Wedding Invitations in Canada
Find the right Printed invitations for your wedding, within your budget
Ordering printed invitations
Invitations are ordered per household, not per guest, which is the first thing most couples get wrong and the reason so many orders come up short.
They are also the deadline that arrives before every other one: printing, assembly and posting all happen while you still think you have time.
How many wedding invitations should you order?
Count households, not people — one invitation to a married couple, one to a family. Then add 10 to 15% for mistakes, late additions and keepsakes, because a reprint of twenty cards costs nearly what a hundred did.
Order the envelopes at the same time and in the same excess. Addressing errors are the most common reason for running out.
Which printing technique should you choose?
Digital is the least expensive and perfectly good. Foil and letterpress cost significantly more and feel different in the hand. Laser-cut and boxed invitations are their own category and price accordingly.
Ask to hold a physical sample before ordering. Printing techniques photograph almost identically and feel nothing alike, and this is a decision made badly on a screen.
How do you proof an invitation in another script?
Have someone who reads the script fluently check the actual printed proof, not the design file. Devanagari, Gurmukhi, Tamil and Urdu all break in ways an English-speaking designer cannot see — ligatures dropped, matras misplaced, letters substituted by a font that lacks the glyph.
Check every name and every date against a list, out loud, with a second person. This is the single most expensive typo available at a wedding.
What do printed invitations cost?
The figures below cover invitations and stationery as a whole. Digital-only sits well below the range; a boxed suite with foil and assembly sits at the top of it.
Get postage quoted separately and early. Square, rigid and boxed invitations attract surcharges, and international post for family abroad is a real line that couples routinely discover at the counter.

Figures describe the Greater Toronto Area, 2026. GigSona — figures from vendors across the Greater Toronto Area, 2026. What a vendor actually quotes you depends on the type of event, how big it is, and exactly what you need — treat these as a starting point for a conversation, not a price list.
Printed invitations — common questions
How early should wedding invitations be sent?
Two to three months before the wedding for local guests, and four to six for anyone travelling internationally who needs flights and possibly a visa. Work backwards from that date for printing and assembly, not from the wedding.
Do you need a separate invitation for each event?
Not necessarily. Many families send one suite with inserts for the mehndi, sangeet and reception, which is cheaper than separate sets and lets you invite different people to different events by varying the inserts.
What is the most common invitation mistake?
A typo in a name, a date, or a script nobody on the design team reads. Have a fluent reader check the physical proof — not the file — and read every name and date aloud against a list with a second person.
