Tips to Save on Wedding Invitations

There is such an assortment of invitations out there. The sort of designs and lettering that machines are now able to print on your invitations is stunning. No doubt your invitation will reflect the style and type of wedding you will have and the price of your invitations will also depend on that style of wedding. Budgets are important when it comes to planning and so the more you can save on the little things, the more you can spend on the important aspects of your special day. Yes, you can have professionally done invitations and at an affordable price.

TIPS:

• Order at least 15 extra invitations. There will always be someone extra you would like to send an invitation to. Also, your family and you may want to keep a copy as a keepsakes. It's cheaper to order a few more together with the rest of the invitations than to have to come back and order them seperately. It's a lot cheaper and easier for the printers to print everything in bulk at once.
• Make sure you also order extra envelopes just in case you make address errors.

• When ordering your invitations, make sure you also order your RSVP cards, address cards, reception cards, thank you notes and any other cards that you may want to get all in one order. By doing so, a lot of printing companies will most likely give you a deal.
• Some photographers will include thank you cards in your package. This can be a saving on your printing job since you wont need them anymore.

• You can also buy ready made RSVP cards at local crafts stores. Compare prices and you may be able to save this way too.
• Print your own maps off your computer.
• The more colorful the invitations the more expensive. Using one color with just shade variations can be a money saver. Ask about cost saving if you use less colors.
• Black ink is always less expensive than colored ink. It is also more elegant.

• If your invitation has bows and ribbons, resort to purchasing them and putting them on yourself. It cost extra to have the printer make them and put them on for you.
• Blotting paper is not necessary these days. Its original use was to make sure ink didn't smudge when wet. Today, ink does not smudge anymore unless you hand write your invitations.
