Color or black and white?
Either one. MCC Wedding Invitations charges the same price for a full color wedding newspaper, a black and white one, or a mix of both, and the price is the same for single-sided or double-sided, so you can choose the look that fits your wedding.
What do you get in each wedding newspaper?
Every wedding newspaper from MCC Wedding Invitations is one 11x17 sheet, printed single-sided or double-sided and folded in the center. Double-sided gives you a front cover, two inside pages and a back cover.
| Open sheet size | 11x17, landscape |
|---|---|
| Folded size | 8.5x11, portrait |
| Pages | Four: front cover, two inside pages, back cover |
| Printing | Single-sided or double-sided |
| Color | Full color, black and white, or a mix (same price, single-sided or double-sided) |
| Finishing | Folded in half |
| Paper | 105 gsm (about 70 lb offset text) white paper |
| Edges | Narrow white border around the outside edges |
| Price | $2.25 down to $1.40 per complete newspaper, by quantity |
| Minimum order | 5 newspapers |
| Shipping | Quoted by package weight and ZIP code, within the 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C. Free pickup in Mapleton, Utah. |
The price covers printing and folding your finished design. Your Etsy template is a separate purchase. A different size, a different page count or design changes need a separate quote.
How much does wedding newspaper printing cost?
MCC Wedding Invitations prices each complete folded newspaper, not each page, and the price per copy drops as you order more. Color and black and white are the same price, and so are single-sided and double-sided.
That is $11.25 in printing at the $2.25 price.
Wedding Newspaper Prices
| Copies | Price per newspaper | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 25 to 49 | $2.00 | 25 copies = $50 |
| 50 to 74 | $1.75 | 50 copies = $87.50 |
| 75 to 99 | $1.65 | 75 copies = $123.75 |
| 100 to 124 | $1.60 | 100 copies = $160 |
| 125 to 149 | $1.55 | 125 copies = $193.75 |
| 150 to 174 | $1.50 | 150 copies = $225 |

| 200 or more | $1.40 | 200 copies = $280 |
Prices current as of October 2026. Shipping and any sales tax are extra. The minimum order is 5 newspapers. Tip: close to a price break, a few more copies can cost less. For example, 45 copies are $90, but 50 copies are $87.50.

What can you put in a wedding newspaper?
A wedding newspaper from MCC Wedding Invitations gives guests something personal to read while they wait for the ceremony, settle in at the reception or open their welcome bags, and many couples use it as their wedding program too. This sample shows how one newspaper holds your story, the day's details, something fun and a keepsake.
Your Story
How you met, the proposal and your favorite memories, plus fun facts like days dating and cities visited.
The Day's Details
Make it your wedding program: the schedule from the welcome toast to the send-off, your wedding party and both families. A menu or a map fits too.
Fun for Guests
A word search, a crossword or a couple's quiz, and your photo hashtag so guests share their pictures.
A Keepsake to Save
Your names, date and city on the front page, a thank-you note and a tribute to loved ones who could not be there. Keep a few extra copies for your wedding photos and album.
How do you prepare your wedding newspaper file?
The standard format at MCC Wedding Invitations is a folded 8.5x11 newspaper made from one 11x17 sheet. An Etsy listing that says "11x17" can mean the open sheet or one finished page, so please check before you order.
Best: four separate pages
A high-quality PDF with four portrait 8.5x11 pages in reading order: front cover, inside left, inside right, back cover. We arrange the pages for printing and folding.
Also fine: two spreads
Two 17x11 landscape spreads work too. Your proof will show the page order.
| Spread | Left half | Right half |
|---|---|---|
| Outside | Page 4, back cover | Page 1, front cover |
| Inside | Page 2 | Page 3 |
File tips
- In Canva, click Share, then Download, and choose PDF Print.
- Do not add crop marks or bleed unless we ask for them.
- Use your original photos, not screenshots. About 300 pixels per inch at the printed size looks best.
- Keep text and photos at least 1/4 inch from the edges and the center fold. Our printer leaves a narrow white border around the outside edges.
- If your background or border runs to the edge, your proof will show how it looks inside the printable area.
- Choose type large enough to read easily on the printed page.
Send it for a check before you order. Resizing can change text size and proportions, so we confirm what is possible and any extra charge first.

One newspaper layout in our classic four-page design with your photos and text placed for you, a digital proof, and one round of corrections sent together in one email. Layout changes, extra pages and large rewrites are quoted separately.
Is the price per page?
No. MCC Wedding Invitations prices each complete newspaper: one 11x17 sheet printed single-sided or double-sided and folded to an 8.5x11 size. It is $2.25 each for 5 to 24 copies and drops to $1.40 each for 200 or more, and color costs the same as black and white. Shipping and any sales tax are extra.
