Utah Valley couples mail a lot of paper. The local habit is the announcement: a photo card sent to a long list of family, ward members and friends, many of whom are invited to the open-house reception rather than the sealing. Long lists make the per-piece price matter, and two local printers publish theirs by quantity. We read their price lists, and the U.S. Postal Service's, on October 20, 2026. Every figure below is the business's own, as published that day.
For what goes in a stationery order, paper weight and the proofing rules that prevent a reprint, read our wedding invitations and stationery guide. This page is the price list.
5x7 announcements by quantity
| Quantity | MCC, single-sided | MCC, double-sided (photo back) | Utah Announcements, double-sided |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | $100 | $160 | |
| 50 | $130 | $190 | $200 |
| 100 | $160 | $220 | $220 |
| 150 | $175 | $240 | $250 |
| 200 | $190 | $260 | $270 |
| 250 | $205 | $280 | $290 |

| 1,000 | $480 | $605 | $650 |
MCC Wedding Invitations is in Mapleton; its base prices include design, printing, matching white envelopes and up to 250 insert cards in up to three designs, and the page says the prices are current as of October 2026. Utah Announcements is in Lindon; its prices are full color, two-sided, with white peel-and-seal envelopes free. Its page also says "starting at $210" for 5x7 invitations while its table starts at $200 for 50; ask which applies.
The per-card cost falls fast with quantity: at MCC a double-sided card is $2.20 each at 100 and $0.76 each at 500. If the list is near a price break, ordering up to it can cost very little more.
Print-Mark in Provo prints wedding invitations too, with foil and letterpress by quote and same-day or next-day rush on most products. Its online calculator showed a default configuration at $256.75, without stating the quantity, so it is not in the table.
Inserts, RSVP cards and thank-yous
| Item | Utah Announcements | MCC |
|---|---|---|
| Insert cards, 3.5x2.5, 100 | $55 | Included (up to 250) |

| Larger insert cards / 4x6 photo inserts | $0.15 / $0.20 each | |

| RSVP or thank-you cards with envelopes, 100 | $110 | |
| Menus or programs, 4x9, 100 | $125 |
Utah Announcements also lists thank-you postcards "starting at $80." Many open-house receptions do not need an RSVP card at all; our open-house reception guide explains why.

Printing the guest addresses saves an evening of handwriting. For 300 envelopes, it is $105 at Utah Announcements and $180 at MCC.
MCC also prints your own design (from Canva or elsewhere) single-sided for $90 for 25, $117 for 50 and $144 for 100, with envelopes and insert cards included.
Postage
Postage is the line couples forget, and on a long list it can rival the printing.
| Piece | USPS price, October 20, 2026 |
|---|---|
| 1-ounce stamped letter | $0.82 |
| Each additional ounce | $0.29 |
| Nonmachinable surcharge | $0.49 |
| Postcard | $0.65 |
A standard 5x7 card in a rectangular envelope mails as a 1-ounce letter. A square envelope, a wax seal or a stiff, lumpy piece can make it nonmachinable and add $0.49. Weigh one finished envelope at the post office before you buy stamps for all of them. Our invitations guide explains the USPS rule.
Three worked examples
| Order | Printing | Addressing | Postage | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 announcements, MCC double-sided | $220 | $60 (guest + return) | $82 | $362 |
| 300 announcements, Utah Announcements | $320 | $105 | $246 | $671 |
| 300 thank-you postcards, Utah Announcements | $140 | $195 | $335 |
Prices exclude sales tax, which Utah Announcements says applies to orders shipped to Utah addresses.
Timing
Our invitations guide gives the widely used guidance of mailing invitations six to eight weeks before the wedding, and an announcement with a photo needs that photo first, usually from an engagement session. Our wedding timeline puts the order date in sequence, and our photography prices guide covers the engagement session. For the rest of the budget, see the Utah Valley wedding budget guide.
How we gathered these prices
These prices also feed our Utah County Wedding Cost Study, which reports the median published price in each category. We read each printer's own price list, and the USPS Notice 123 price list, on October 20, 2026, and copied the published figures. We did not request quotes or estimate unpublished prices. A printer appears because its prices are public, not because we rank it. If you are a Utah Valley printer with published prices, or a price has changed, email contact@provo.com.
