Alongside the print run, the choice of format, number of pages, binding and paper quality all have a major impact on the final price of your wedding newspaper. Whether you opt for a charming A5 booklet with classic saddle stitching or a full-size newspaper on nostalgic newsprint – costs typically start at around £30 and, depending on the quantity ordered, can range up to £500– £800.

The key pricing factors for wedding newspapers

A wedding newspaper tells a wonderful love story, makes guests smile and often brings the happy couple to tears. To help you keep full control over your printing costs, we’ve outlined the most important pricing factors below – so you can find the perfect balance between budget and quality.

When calculating the cost of your wedding newspaper printing, keep the following aspects in mind:


💻 Design software & templates: The first step is choosing the right design tool. Many people create their wedding newspaper using Word or InDesign and then upload a print-ready PDF. In our shop, you’ll also find a wide selection of wedding newspaper templates that you can personalise directly in our online designer – completely free of charge. This saves you agency costs and the need to purchase expensive templates.

🔍 Proof copy: Printing a sample copy is especially worthwhile if you still have enough time before the wedding and are planning a larger print run. A proof lets you check colours, photos and finishing quality in advance – a smart investment for peace of mind.

📚 Print run: The quantity ordered directly affects the final price. However, the cost per copy decreases as the quantity increases. If you’ve invested time and love into the design, it’s worth printing extra copies at a low unit price – perfect as keepsakes for years to come.

📏 Format: Whether compact A5, classic A4 or traditional A3 newspaper format – as a rule of thumb, larger formats require more paper and therefore increase printing costs.

📄 Page count: More pages mean more material and finishing work. Plan your page count in multiples of four and consider tightening your content slightly to keep both page count and costs under control.

📃 Paper quality: There’s no absolute right or wrong here – it depends on the look and feel you want. Lightweight newsprint (49–60 gsm) has a nostalgic, authentic newspaper feel. Heavier magazine paper (90–170 gsm) offers vibrant colours, crisp images and a more durable finish. The price depends on your expectations for print quality.

🧷 Binding: From classic loose newspapers to saddle stitching or premium perfect binding – the binding style has a strong influence on the overall look and feel. Perfect binding is more expensive, which is why many customers choose unbound newspapers or magazines with classic saddle stitching.

Print file check: In some cases, a professional print data check can incur additional costs. With our PDF upload for short-run newspaper printing and our wedding newspaper templates, you don’t need to worry – templates are already correctly formatted, and every PDF upload includes a free print data check.

📦 Express delivery: If finalising layouts and content takes longer than planned, consider adding express delivery. This ensures your wedding newspapers arrive in time for the big day.

Printed on lightweight newsprint, they offer a charming retro character. As mentioned above, costs depend on the page count and print run, but remain budget-friendly. You can even start from just one copy, and larger quantities noticeably reduce the unit price.
