Question
Is it cheaper to print wedding invitations yourself?
Answer
Rarely. DIY printing looks cheaper on paper, but the hidden costs pile up fast. Home printers struggle with thick invitation cardstock, ink runs out quickly, and wasted sheets add up, so most at-home attempts end up costing more than professional printing once everything is tallied.
| DIY hidden costs | Professional printing |
|---|---|
| Ink cartridges | Included in the price |
| Wasted cardstock | Consistent, clean output |
| Paper trimmer | Precision trimming built in |
| Time and reprints | Done right the first time |
- Cardstock limits: most home printers cannot feed heavy stock.
- Cleaner result: professional presses hold color and registration.
