Discount Wedding Invitation Card

Discount for Bulk Order

There are sometimes clients asking me that if there is discount when the quantity of order for the invitation is larger. In fact, this is a common misconception for clients in Hong Kong. This is mainly due to the practices of other wedding invitation vendors. They will tell the clients there will be discounts when they order more. And indeed the discounts they refer to is a lower unit price.

A Simple Law of Economics

In fact we should not treat the lower unit price a discount. As a matter of fact, it is only a simple law of economics. The cost of a business is the total cost of fixed cost and variable cost. When we are printing the wedding cards, there is a fixed cost for printing, and the variable cost is the material (most probably paper). As a result the unit price will be lower when a larger quantity is ordered.

I hope this can help couples to understand more about wedding invitation production!

    You are totally right. Getting wedding invitations in bulk is much less expensive than buying a smaller amount.

    Sure! It is just because I have a feeling that some dishonest vendors may claim that as a discount which I do not agree with. And that’s why I wrote this blog so that all of us can have a better understanding on the subject.
