Standard Wedding Stationery<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Engagement Announcements<\/strong>. Average Cost: $150 plus postage. Engagement announcements are completely optional. Perhaps if you have a lot of family from out of town it would be a good idea!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Save the Dates<\/strong>. Average Cost: $125 plus postage. Save the dates are a nice heads up for your guests, especially for those who are extremely busy and plan ahead. They aren\u2019t necessary, but a good courtesy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Invitations & Reply Cards<\/strong>. Average Cost: $255 plus postage. Obviously, this is the most important part of your stationery. You can probably get by without the other items, but the invitation sets the tone!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Ceremony Programs<\/strong>. Average Cost: $110. Ceremony programs are not necessary, but can be a fun way for your guests to engage in your wedding by making it into a game or keepsake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Place Cards<\/strong>. Average Cost: $84. Depending if you have assigned seating or not, place cards could be replaced with table numbers or discarded all together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. Menus<\/strong>. Average Cost: $119. Menus are not exactly necessary, but they do add an elegant touch, especially if your wedding is on the formal side or even farm-to-table style.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. Thank You Notes<\/strong>. Average Cost: $94 plus postage. Whatever you decide, thank you notes are a must! Just be sure to send them within a few weeks of receiving a gift. Wait any longer and it may be considered bad taste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                As always, the items you will need completely depend on your style. If your wedding is formal, chances are you will need these items and then some. But if you\u2019re planning something a little more laid back, you\u00a0 are probably safe to pick and choose the items that will suit your wedding best.<\/p>\n
