Updated Oct 14, 2024The 8 Best Wedding Invitation Websites to Order Stationery Online
Here's where to design and buy custom invites.
Wedding invitations set the tone of your big day: the font informs formality, while the color palette and graphics represent your theme. And the orientation, paper type and envelopes you choose bring it all together. Luckily, there are lots of online retailers to browse to find the best wedding invitations for you. Whether you want something that's ready to print right away or you'd like a little room for customization to create something unique to your love story, we've sourced the best wedding invitation websites that do it all.
Of course, you also have the option to work with a local store or stationer to create your wedding's paper goods. (Don't worry, we can help you find a pro in our vetted vendor marketplace.) In fact, if you're looking for something truly bespoke and don't want to spend too much time designing invites yourself (or don't feel confident doing so), a stationer is likely your best choice.
That said, it can be fun to personalize the details of your special day yourself using a wedding invitation site. Ordering wedding invitations online is actually an ideal choice if you don't have a ton of turnaround time. Now if you're wondering where to buy wedding invitations online—keep scrolling. We've rounded up the best website for wedding invitations below so you can see your options and weigh the pros and cons all in one place. You're welcome!

From Art Deco options shimmering with foil details, cowboy-chic invites, to groovy disco-inspired bids, there's something for every couple.

And, just to make sure your stationery really reflects your special day, you can request free design assistance. This includes custom colors, fonts and layouts from a professional.
We know you've already put so much time and effort into curating the vibe of your big day, including customizing your wedding website to match you and your partner's personalities. So we made sure that every stationery suite has a matching wedding website design that can carry through your carefully chosen aesthetic (we love consistency and convenience).

A truly personalized experience for you and a completely cohesive experience for your guests.
The Knot Editor Tips
- With our free stationery sample kit, you can physically hold our invites in your hands before ordering. And you'll be able to customize your samples right on your desktop, so you'll get a sense of both how the design looks and how your specific details look in that design. This way, you'll feel 100% confident about this important purchase.
- Simplify mailing by using our guest addressing service—we can print your guests' addresses right on your envelopes. It looks clean and it's a total time-saver (trust us).
- Make the most of our free design assistance by personalizing the artwork or flipping the card orientation to suit your vision. (We've got a live-chat function for those emergency etiquette and design questions, too.)
- On a strict budget? The Knot Invitations has the best priced all-in-one invitations compared to other leading wedding stationery retailers. The foldable format is an invite, RSVP card and envelope that folds together into one complete package, so it only looks like you spent a small fortune.
The Knot Invitations Pricing
Invitations range from $1.49 to $4.09 each. The price is influenced by the paper type, if the design includes foil and the number of cards ordered. Pearlescent and recycled paper cost a little more than our signature cardstock, while foil-adorned designs cost more than those without foil details. We offer bulk pricing, so the more you buy, the more you save.
The Knot Invitations Production Time
If you order wedding invitations online from The Knot Invitations, they'll be printed within four business days. Depending on your chosen shipping method, delivery is estimated between five and 10 business days. If you're ordering samples, however, please allow one to two weeks for delivery.
2. Minted
Check out Minted's collection of custom wedding invitations designed by independent artists and graphic designers. They appeal to a wide range of styles and aesthetics, from rustic wedding invitations to abstract painterly designs. The brand also offers a Luxe Letterpress category, which is a great option for those looking for that textured letterpress look instead of a printed invite. And if you're wondering where to get wedding invitations that fit different cultures and religions, they have navigation to shop for Muslim and East Asian weddings, with 11 total religious denominations. You can add text boxes and sometimes special elements like pictures and QR codes (if the style you choose is compatible) and even schedule a free consultation with their dedicated concierge team to learn all about your customization options. If you're still not finding exactly what you're looking for, you can put in design requests with the independent artists that make the stationery. You can pick up envelope accessories such as wax seals and even vintage stamps at their shop, too.
Minted prides themselves on their high-quality printing process and array of paper options. If you want to feel the weight of the paper and see how any special details look in person, they're happy to provide a free sample kit, helping to make this one of the best websites for wedding invitations. And, better still, their app allows for easy, free recipient addressing on envelopes.

With standard delivery, stationery from Minted has a standard shipping time of five days spent in transit. This does not include the extra days necessary for production (your final estimate of the total wait time unique to your order will be provided at checkout). If you don't have time to spare, you can pay extra for shipping within three, two or one business day(s), which will deliver your invites much quicker after the proof is reviewed and production is completed.
3. Zazzle
When Zazzle promotes millions of designs from independent creators, they really mean millions. And each can be customized further by color, corner shape and paper type, depending on the product, and text. You can also add special elements like icons and flip the stationery's orientation. Better still, most wedding invites share their designs with a collection of matching paper goods, like save-the-dates and RSVPs, to complete your wedding suite. With so many options, it's a good thing Zazzle has a thorough search filter; you can shop by color, style, invitation type and even delivery date. You're bound to find the perfect wedding invitation for you and your fiancé—and, if not, you can create your own from scratch.
Zazzle Pricing
The price of the invite depends entirely on the design, but most range between $2 and $4 each. That said, Zazzle offers bulk pricing, so the more you buy, the less each individual invite costs. Plus, they often have sales, so you might get lucky and get a discount on the stationery.
Zazzle Production Time
Zazzle has five production and shipping times, which range between a week and 12 days and depending on the product chosen. Naturally, instant downloads have no production time and you can have the product in your email inbox immediately if you're in a pinch and have a reputable printer in your area in mind.
4. Papier
If you're looking for floral wedding invitations, Papier's wedding invitation website is one of the best places to shop. We're certainly dreaming of a spring wedding as we scroll. The brand offers a few "create your own design" templates as well as some semi-customizable stationery styles by independent designers. You can edit the text, font and layout to reflect your unique love story (plus easily add a photo or QR code) and wording preferences—and your first sample is free. While there aren't quite as many personalization options as some of the other stationery sites on our list, there's not much we'd change about these gorgeous wedding invitations anyway, TBH. And the design interface is one of the most user-friendly we've come across, so it won't feel like you need to take a graphic design course just to move some text boxes around.
Papier Pricing
Stationery from this wedding invitation company falls between $2 and $3 per invite for 100. Expect to spend more if you order a smaller quantity, choose thicker paper or spring for a shimmering foil design.
Papier Production Time
Papier's invites have an estimated production time of six days. Add on an additional one to six business days for delivery depending on the type of shipping you choose. Currently, there are four tiers of tracked delivery options. Note: Shipping can take longer depending on the state or country you live in. Additionally, Papier designs are shipped from the UK and can take longer to arrive.
5. Etsy
Wondering where to get wedding invitations that reflect your unique relationship, interests and values? Etsy is your answer and another one of the best places to get your wedding invitations. The marketplace boasts a treasure trove of invites designed by small businesses and independent creators, so you're sure to find something one of a kind for your big day. You get to work directly with your chosen shop to discuss the details of your wedding. There are options for all budgets and styles—including digital invites.

We just recommend reading reviews to ensure a quality product and customer service experience from the seller.
Etsy Pricing
Since invitation designers at Etsy are all independent businesses, there's no set price. It really depends on what type of design you go for as well as the materials used, the level of customization requested and the shop's individual shipping costs.
Etsy Production Time
Similarly, there's no set production time for Etsy sellers. That said, you can usually find all the information you'll need regarding production and shipping times in the seller's notes on the product page. If you still have questions, feel free to reach out to your stationery designer directly.
6. Mixbook
Mixbook is another one of the best wedding invite companies if you really want to customize your paper goods. Their aim is to allow you to unleash your creativity using one of their templates as a starting point. The big draw here is that many of the site's designs allow you to add photos to personalize your invites. The design-your-own wedding invitations come on your choice of paper, but rest assured that every option is ethically sourced from sustainable forests—they're even certified by the Rainforest Alliance and the Forest Stewardship Council. And every invite you order comes with a free premium white envelope. While you're at it, don't forget to design the rest of your wedding invitation set—it's also one of the best save-the-date websites and wedding thank-you note websites, since it can help keep your overall stationery costs down.
Mixbook Pricing
Like we mentioned, Mixbook has some of the most affordable wedding invitations on the web. There are so many ways to save, such as forgoing foil or selecting a simple silhouette. Invitations technically start under $1 each, but the cost depends on details like the quantity purchased, type of paper and shape. Most styles start under $2 each.

Standard invitations are usually processed and printed in one to two days. From there, you can choose between budget, standard, priority or express shipping options.
7. Paper Source
Paper Source has one of the widest varieties of wedding invitation suites online, including stationery from designers like Oscar De La Renta and Neil Lane. You'll also spot styles from some well-known brands, such as Rifle Paper Co. and Paperless Post as well as Paper Source's own signature stationery. The website's design tools make it easy to create custom wedding invites with your preferred invitation wording, typeface and layout. Once you've finalized the details, play around with different envelope and liner colors for one last personal touch. Whether you choose to order your invites from Paper Source or not, their shop is stocked with additional stationery-related additions like address stamps to further personalize your paper.
Paper Source Pricing
As styles and designers vary on Paper Source, the pricing does, too. We estimate a cost of $2 to $3 per piece for 100 standard house-brand invitations. But depending on the designer and quantity, you could spend anywhere from around $2 to upwards of $6 per invite.
Paper Source Production Time
Paper Source's production time takes four days and, unfortunately, this can't be expedited. Once your invite is printed, there are four shipping options: next day, 2nd day, ground (which is one to six business days in the continental US) and standard (which is five to 12 business days, depending on your address).
