How to Make $800 a Week Selling Wedding Invitation Sets

I’ve built businesses where the real money wasn’t in volume — it was in positioning. Wedding invitation sets are exactly that kind of opportunity. You’re operating inside a $70+ billion U.S. wedding industry, with nearly 2 million weddings annually. Every one of those weddings needs invitations.

You don’t need hundreds of clients. You need structure, pricing power, and margin discipline.

Here’s how to make $800 a week selling wedding invitation sets.

Reverse Engineer the $800 Weekly Goal

Start with math.

Option 1:
2 clients at $400 each = $800

Option 2:
1 premium client at $800 = $800

Couples typically spend $400–$1,500 on wedding invitations and paper goods. A $400–$600 invitation set is well within budget for weddings averaging $25,000–$35,000 total spend.

Two solid bookings per week gets you there.

Sell Complete Sets, Not Single Invites

Don’t price per card. Bundle value.

Classic Set – $400
Invitation + RSVP + Details Card

Signature Set – $600
Full suite + envelope design + menu template

Luxury Set – $1,000+
Complete wedding paper branding package

Bundling increases perceived value by 20–40% versus itemized pricing.

Higher average order value means fewer clients needed.

Protect Your Margins

Digital invitation sets have minimal overhead:

• Design software ($20–$60/month)
• Marketing

Margins on digital files can exceed 85–90%.

If printing is included, maintain 50–60% markup.

Example:
Printing cost = $300
Client price = $700–$800

Strong margin protects your weekly target.

Target Buyers With Budget

Not DIY couples — planners and organized brides.

Market through:

• Wedding planners
• Instagram & Pinterest
• Bridal expos
• Vendor partnerships

Planners influence vendor choices in a significant percentage of weddings. One solid planner relationship can generate multiple referrals per season.

Repeat referrals reduce acquisition cost.

Systemize for Higher Hourly Income

Create:

• 10–15 core templates
• Standardized layouts
• Streamlined onboarding forms

If a $600 set takes 4 hours to complete, that’s $150/hour gross revenue.

Reduce production to 3 hours with templates?
Now you’re at $200/hour.

Efficiency scales income.

Increase Revenue Without More Clients

Upsell:

• Envelope liners (+$75)
• Wax seals or specialty finishes (+$100)
• Rush service (+$75)

If one $600 client adds $200 in upgrades:
That single order becomes $800.

One booking can meet your weekly goal.

Final Word from the Street

Making $800 a week selling wedding invitation sets isn’t about artistry alone.

It’s about:

• Selling bundled value
• Maintaining 80%+ margins
• Targeting funded clients
• Leveraging referrals

One to two well-priced invitation sets per week can cross $800 consistently.

Small niche. Premium buyers. Strong margins.

That’s how disciplined operators turn design into steady cash flow.
