Printable Wedding Invitations: How Do They Work

Printable wedding invitations are becoming more and more popular with brides-to-be. As their popularity increases, so do the questions surrounding them. We thought we’d tackle the most common questions associated with printable wedding invitations including how they work, what is typically included, and the advantages of printable versus their traditionally printed counterparts.  

What are printable wedding invitations? 
Simply put, printable wedding invitations are personally designed invitations which are sent to you via digital file as opposed to through snail mail. It is then up to you to choose whether to print them at home or send them to a third party printer. You can even send the file to your guests electronically (via e-mail or social media) to cut out the cost of printing all together.

What is typically included in printable wedding invitations?One of the advantages of printable wedding invitations is their extreme versatility. This means that the inclusions depend on whom you’re ordering from as well as your personal preferences. Ivory House is able to design printable invitations which include coordinating RSVP card, information card, menu, map, or simply the invite itself. We create the invitation suite uniquely based on your needs and budget.

What are the advantages of printable wedding invitations versus traditional invitations?

• Printable wedding invitations can be more budget friendly than traditional invitations. Since you are doing more work by assembling the invitations yourself, you don’t pay as much for production costs.  

• With printable wedding invitations you can choose the printer you’d like to use – at home, a local shop, or an internet based business.

• Printable wedding invitations can be in your hands more quickly as there is no assembly time on the our end.
