Whats the going rate to have wedding invites designed for you. My sister is doing ours, and insists on no money, but we will either give her some, or buy her something of equivilent value- what should we pay her?

Mine are $1,000 for a printer to do them- but they are on very good paper.
I would at least cover the paper cost (ink and all supplies) and then a little extra.

The sky is the limit with handmade wedding invitations. There are so many different options that you can go with. See the link below for free printable invitations that you can print from your home computer. Not only will you save a lot of money, but you will also give your guests a nice invitation personally made by you. I would definitely make your own Save the Date cards too.

Consider this her wedding gift to you! I am sure that is what she considers it as well.
The only thing I can tell you, is to simply put in a thank you card how much you love her, and appreciate all she has done for you and your new husband and that you will always love her!
That is gratitude enough!
I just wanted to add a tidbit to DL up there regarding the impersonal invite situation. You cannot handwrite your wedding invitation, not only because of the numbers, but because of the information may be misread, and time constraints. She was not referring to the addresses only (which yes, are more classy handwritten)

Knowing how my family is with money, and if you sister is anything like my family she probably wouldn't accept any money so give her something like a gift card to a fancy restaurant or tickets to a concert or sports game depending on her interests. This is more for if she's married or with someone right now so she could have someone to enjoy this things with. Otherwise just get her like a gift card to her favorite store or mall. It's harder for her to refuse gift cards than money.
Hope everything goes well with you and your wedding. Don't stress too much and remember to enjoy the day.

Depends, you can expect any price range form say $500 up to thousands depending on how many and what type of paper etc.
Sweet of you to over to pay her cash but try and thing of somethign more personal like a toast to her at the wedding, mentioning her in the program or take her out to dinner with you and you fiancee.

She may be doing this b/c she's your SISTER and she loves you. Paying her money may take away some of the good feeling she'll have from doing it for you. I'd get her a gift certificate to a restaurant she likes, or store she WISHES she could shop at, ...ya know? Before you worry about HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH? you may just let her know how much it means to you, and then wait for an oppurtunity to return a favor. Ask yourself what would you expect if you were her?

Accept them with love and graciousness. You will repay far more by doing that.By the way congratulations.

How terrible and impersonal. Have you thought of writing the invitations by hand? Anyone can print off invites on a PC and, as a recipient, I know how little thought has gone into them. So go on - spend a couple of evenings at home with your beloved and write the things by hand - it will be much more appreciated. Just ask Granny!
