Make It! Don’t Break It (The Bank, That Is)
When trying to make your affordable wedding invitations, many times you will overspend. You want every aspect of your wedding day to be the best, but when it comes to the invites, you fear coming off chintzy. You end up going overboard when all you had to do was follow this advice and find invites that you can actually fit in your budget and afford. The first idea has nothing to do with shopping for affordable wedding invitations.
Take a little off the top–or more the bottom–of your wedding guest list. Many times, couples will send an invite to aunt Judy in Nebraska or Uncle Joe in Detroit even though they know they won’t attend. Don’t waste your time or money while making them feel guilty for not coming. They would rather hear from you over the phone anyway. Eliminating extraneous guests like coworkers and the like will also help. Not only will you save by mailing less, but you’ll have less of everything to pay for. Adding a map, some tissue, a return envelope, etc. is also a waste, so don’t add weight to an already heavy mailing.
Don’t go overboard on your wedding invitations design. Multi-colored, raised or embossed lettering, and gold flaking are super pricey while not really adding much. Stick with a classy font and matching color of ink (even one ink color) and you’ll be saving money. Invest more in quality paper and the invite wording will pop out and look phenomenal.
Most affordable wedding invites can be found by shopping on the internet. The problem is you won’t be able to feel them in hand so you won’t be able to tell the actual quality of your paper. Head to the nearest stationary store, find the paper you want, then use that as you base as you peruse. If you’re like me and trust most online retailers, just start seeing what they have to offer. If you have special theme needs, like beach wedding invitations, they will certainly provide affordable beach wedding invitations of some kind that you can shop. find your unique affordable wedding invitations that you love, then show that style to other online stores to see if they can beat the price!
You don’t have to focus on the affordable wedding invitation to make it affordable. Take your guest list down a notch or two and only send invites to the people you believe will come. Cut costs by keeping your invitation light and have the post office meter them instead guessing. Visit every website you can to find the best invite at the best price then take it to the next notch down by getting another company to make you the same thing for less. One last idea is to make them yourself. Computers and printers can do amazing things–and so can your crafty friends! Get started finding your affordable wedding invitations using all these tips and you’ll find the perfect ones that you can actually afford.
