7 Ways to Save Money on Wedding Invitations
By Roanna Rose
1. When ordering invitations have them printed using the thermography
method which costs only a fraction of the engraving method. You will also
have many more choices of designs and papers when using thermography.
2. Have your invitations printed in black ink which is already included in the
cost. There will be an additional charge for each type of item printed in colored
ink or foil. When ordering invitations, reception cards, response cards,
informals, etc. you can easily save $30 to $50 or more on the total cost.
3. Print your reception information at the bottom of the invitation. Center the
reception location and address below the invitation wording for no extra cost.
Put the information in one or both of the lower corners as a ¡°corner copy¡± for
an extra $10 to $25. This is a huge savings over ordering separate reception
cards as invitation inserts.
4. Order your informals (thank-yous) when ordering your invitations. Choose
informals which match your invitations and have your names printed in one
line on the front of the card leaving the inside blank for your personal notes to
gift givers. For even greater savings, order blank thank-yous from the invitation
company in quantities to match the number of your invitations (or more).
Compare prices and you¡¯ll often find ordering thank-yous from the invitation
companies less expensive than purchasing the packaged notes from the big
discount stores.
5. Calculate the number of invitations you¡¯ll need very carefully. The most
expensive invitations are the first 25-50. The price falls drastically for each
additional 25. If in doubt order an extra 25. When ordering additional
invitations later, you¡¯ll also incur additional shipping charges and colored ink
charges if not using black ink. Not to mention the extra days you will have to
wait for delivery which may delay the mailing of your invitations to your guests.
6. Save the cost of a calligrapher by having someone with pretty penmanship
address your invitations or have the envelopes printed using your computer.
Order extra envelopes (both inner and outer) with your invitations so you will
have plenty in case of handwritten or printer mistakes.
7. Have an ¡°invitation party¡± and ask friends and family to help you assemble
your invitations. Hiring someone for this purpose might be an expense you
can easily avoid.
