The real price of an Etsy template

We went through Etsy UK’s top results for birthday, Christmas party, wedding and baby shower templates, at the price you’d actually pay, sales included. A birthday template usually costs around £4, a wedding one nearer £9.50, and a few go past £40.

And it’s one shop for one template. Want a matching menu, or a different invitation next month? That’s another purchase, at another price, and most of them need Canva to edit.

On Papercrumb, your first design is free, then 99p each. Every design, birthday or wedding, menu or place card. Or £5 a month for every design we have, which is less than two Etsy templates.
