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.

  • Cardstock limits: most home printers cannot feed heavy stock.
  • Cleaner result: professional presses hold color and registration.
