2024 Wedding Invitation Site Reviews

Invitation Consultants

• Satisfaction guarantee
• Lots of wedding card categories
• Orders ship in 2-3 days
• Periodic sitewide sales

Invitation Consultants was founded in Tampa, Florida in 1999. Over the years they've implemented their love of color and paper to make creative invitations and cards for nearly any occasion. Whether you're announcing your wedding, a new baby, or your annual Christmas party, Invitation Consultants has uniquely-crafted designs that are modern and classy.

Mix and match categories

There are quite a few categories of wedding cards to choose from when you're browsing Invitation Consultants' online store. They have foil pressed invitations, RSVP cards, wedding insert cards, engagement announcements, save the date cards, reception invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations, wedding programs, and more. Some couples will probably need to mix and match from these categories depending on the events taking place around the wedding.

Not overly unique

Many of the wedding invitation styles from Invitation Consultants don't feature any photos. However, a few of them do. To narrow down the features you want on your announcement, you can narrow down by orientation, photo count, size, foil item, multiple colors, and designer. There are a good range of designs ranging from floral to simple and professional, but you can't make many changes to the templates. We wouldn't say that anything here is exceptionally unique since you could find similar cards through another retailer. However, what they offer is beautiful and would meet the needs of most customers.

Not your cheapest option

We wish you were able to narrow down cards by price, but unfortunately this isn't an option. The least expensive cards are going to be around $1.49 each, but this is only if you're buying about 700 of them. If you're buying around 100 invitations, you'll spend at least $1.50 here and most cards are over $2. This isn't crazy expensive, but if you want to change the shape of the invitation or type of paper, that's an added cost and it makes Invitation Consultants one of the more expensive retailers in the end. At the time of this review, they were running a 30% off sale that helped with the price of invitations, so if you're able to shop here during a sale, you'll get optimal pricing.

Orders ship in 2-3 days

Most orders ship within 2-3 days. The cost for shipping is dependent on your order total - the more you buy, the more you pay for delivery. If you receive your order and realize you made a mistake on spelling or wedding details, you can get them reprinted with a 25% discount. With custom orders there are no instances where you can change your mind about the purchase and get a refund. Invitation Consultants does not accept returns. However, they do have a satisfaction guarantee in the event that your wedding invitations get damaged, lost in shipping, or have a glaring issue upon arrival. You can report any problems within 14 days of delivery and they'll work with you to get replacements.

Old customer reviews

There aren't very many recent reviews from customers who have shopped at Invitation Consultants. Much of what we found came from 2012 or 2013, with a few as "recent” as 2017. Although almost all customers were thrilled with their purchases, it doesn't tell us a lot about the current state of the company. Has their quality remained the same? Surely their prices have gone up over the last 10 years. Is their customer service reliable? The Better Business Bureau doesn't have a rating for Invitation Consultants, so this doesn't help us get an idea of how well the company is performing.

Average store

Overall, Design Consultants has a good selection of wedding invitations and they have a lot of options for other card inserts that relate to your big day. However, their designs aren't anything we haven't seen before and you will probably spend a little more here than you might at a higher-rated invitation retailer. This isn't a bad option for wedding announcements, but it's also not our favorite. Design Consultants sits in the middle of the pack as far as rankings go.
