How to Make $1,000 a Month from Wedding Save-the-Dates
I’ve built digital product businesses where emotion multiplied margins. Wedding save-the-dates are a perfect example: low production cost, high urgency, and buyers who don’t bargain.
Break Down the $1,000 Math
Always start with numbers.
Example:
- Average price per order: $25
- Orders needed: 40/month
That’s 1–2 orders per day.
Sell Sets, Not Single Cards
Bundles increase value perception.
Winning offer:
- Digital + print-ready files
- Multiple size formats
Bundled save-the-dates raise order value by 30–50%.
Niche Down by Wedding Style
General designs compete on price.
High-paying niches:
- Minimal luxury
- Cultural or traditional weddings
- Destination weddings
Niche designs convert 2× better.
Control Customization
Unlimited changes destroy profit.
Rules:
- Fixed layout
- Limited color/font swaps
- Paid extra revisions
Boundaries cut production time by 40%.
Sell Where Couples Already Shop
Distribution beats talent.
Best channels:
- Etsy
Marketplaces drive 60%+ of early sales.
Use Mockups to Build Trust
Weddings buy certainty.
What works:
- Lifestyle mockups
- Real customer previews
- Clear timelines
Proof doubles conversion rates.
Final Wall Street Insight
$1,000 a month from save-the-dates isn’t about being a designer.
It’s about packaging emotion, controlling scope, and selling at scale.
Simple product. Predictable cash.
