For instance, we have found that most of our brides have picked 1mm acrylic cards for a more affordable price. So think carefully and take the the follow 4 things into consideration.
1. The Cost of a Simple Printed Acrylic Wedding Invitation Card
There are basically 3 thicknesses for acrylic wedding invitations : 1mm/.04", 2mm/.08" and 3mm/.12". The price of acrylic wedding invitation ranges dramatically and the thicker the more expensive. We generally suggest guests to choose 1mm invitations as it is the easiest way to help you keep the budget under control.

-1mm/.04" : $ 2.8/PC for an order of 100pcs
-2mm/.08" : $ 3.8/PC for an order of 100pcs
