How to reply to a wedding invitation response card? ›

Think of the response card as a note, not a form, and write a few sentences in your reply. Thank your host, send well-wishes to the couple, be encouraging, be yourself—this isn't a formality requiring stodginess. Couples love to hold on to these and look back at all the excitement.

In conclusion, starting a web-to-print wedding invitation business can be a rewarding and profitable venture. By investing in the right software, creating unique designs, and marketing your business effectively, you can build a successful online store that caters to the needs of your clients.

You can go with a 12pt cardstock or the thicker 24 pt cardstock if you want something a little thicker. The heavier the weight, the more durable your postcard will be. Most people opt for the thicker cardstock for invitations.

A popular weight range for folding invitation cards is between 65lb-100lb cover. Layered invitation cards or those inside of invitation pockets and wraps can be made with a variety of weights, but we recommend keeping these rules in mind. Keep your invitation top layer light (80lb cover and under).

The average cost of wedding invitations is $5-$8 per guest, which equates to $500-$800 for a wedding stationery suite for 100 guests. A wedding invitation helps set the stage for your big day.

As a rule of thumb, you can usually expect around 75-85 percent of those invited to actually attend the wedding. Sending out save the dates six to eight months in advance will give guests time to prepare for the wedding—ultimately increasing the number of people who will attend.

Traditionally, the bride's family pays for:

Invitations, announcements and stationary. Services of a wedding consultant. The bridal attire and trousseau. Photography for the engagements, wedding portraits, ceremony and reception.

On average, wedding invitation suites weigh between one ($0.68) and two ounces ($0.92).

Which is thicker cardstock 65 or 110? ›

Cardstock is typically classified by weight, measured in pounds (lbs) per 500 sheets of paper. Cardstock weight ranges from around 65 lbs (thinnest cardstock) to 110 lbs (thickest cardstock).

Invitations and Stationery

Over the years, matte paper has become the favored option for social stationery such as invitations, announcements, and Greeting Cards.

Some common paper types include cardstock, vellum, and tissue. Cardstock is a thick and durable paper that is available in a variety of colors and patterns. Vellum is a translucent paper that gives invitations an elegant and timeless look. Tissue paper is often used as an overlay to add a touch of luxury.

100 lb cover weight/270 gsm card stock begins to get into the heavier weight card stock. The card stock weighing in at 100 lb cover is often used for flyers, signs, invitations, and invitation backings. 140# Index stock (253 gsm) would be very similar to our 100 lb cover weight card stock.

110 lb cardstock is almost twice the weight of 65 lb cardstock, with 130 lb cardstock being the heaviest (as far as I know) so if you want the heavier of the two, go for the 110 lb cardstock instead of the 65 lb cardstock.
