Many brides today are searching for ways to save some money on their wedding and the invitation is a great place to start. There are many ways to create a beautiful, elegant wedding invitation without spending a fortune to do so. Here are some of the best tips for saving money on your wedding invitations without sacrificing the elegance and class of the invitation.
Shop Online
The internet is a wonderful opportunity to save a bride-to-be some money on wedding invitations. If you already have chosen the paper, style, and printing that you would love to have, then it's time to get online and do some research. You may be surprised to find the same wedding invitation is available online at a fraction of what you would normally pay in a bridal boutique or a stationary store. The overhead is much lower for many online wedding invitation companies, which translates into savings for you.
However, there are a few things to consider when you buy your wedding invitations online. First, you want a reputable company. See if there are reviews available. Make sure their delivery time is guaranteed. Take extra care to make sure the wording is correct and have another pair of eyes check over it for typos.
As soon as the invitations arrive, check to make sure everything is correct. If it is not, notify the company immediately. An error will surely be noticed by your guests and if it's in the address, date, or time, could really affect the attendance!
Make sure you received the right amount of invitations and envelopes. Order at least 10 extra, so you have a few for people you might have overlooked. If you are addressing the envelopes, you also want to allow for an error or two.
Look for Sales Items
You can almost always find last year's wedding invitations at a significant savings. Many of the bridal boutiques will phase out invitations from the previous year to make room for the newest styles. If your wedding budget is rather strict, this can be a great opportunity to save some money.
Package Deals
Believe it or not, you may find there are packages that will include your wedding invitations, your guest book, name cards for your receptions, and in some cases, even postage! These combinations can offer significant savings over purchasing each item separately.
Save on Postage
Postage can add up quickly. By choosing a little smaller invitation, you will be able to save a bit at the post office. Eliminate the need for additional postage by choosing a light weight invitation and foregoing the RSVP cards, as well. You can include your wedding website for RSVP's and other information, such as the menu and wedding registry information.
In Closing
You can have beautiful invitations for a fraction of the cost with the above money-saving tips. By doing just a little research, you'll have more of your budget available for your big event.
