Where the stationery
budget goes.
Most budget splits divide by the number of pieces, which is wrong — signage is one design and a large share of the cost, place cards are one design and almost none.
How much of an event budget goes on stationery?
There is no reliable industry figure and anyone quoting one precisely is guessing. What is more useful is the split within your stationery budget: roughly 40% on the invitation suite, with signage the next largest share, and a real contingency — reprints and late additions are close to certain.

01
Why the contingency is not padding.
A guest list moves after invitations are printed. Somebody's name is misspelled. A table gets added. Each of those is a short print run, and short runs cost close to what the original run cost — the setup is most of the price.
A budget with no slack turns a five-minute correction into a difficult conversation. Eight per cent held back is the difference between fixing it and living with it.

Does this include printing?
What if I am not having a seated meal?
Is 40% on the invitation right?

Evorrah is one payment per event, $149 to $3,099 by occasion and suite size — no per-card pricing, so the design cost does not scale with your guest list.
