Outside of the dress and the reception quality wedding invitations can sure eat up a lot of you weeding budget. But there are some ways to save without skimping on your special day. So with apologies for the fun I’m inviting you to hear some of our buying tips to save money.

First don’t think of just wedding invitations think of wedding stationery, order in bulk all at the same time. When I say bulk I mean invitations, thank you notes, RSVP cards, programs, place cards and even menu are going to print at the same time with all these elements you can save a bundle on printing costs and shipping.

Tip number two for do-it-yourselfers try an invitation kit. You can go online or to a specialty invitation store you can get all the materials you need to make your own invitation. A few hints though stay with the basic black tight phase. Experts say that if you want to play with color change the paper not the ink, and when you address the envelope stay away from the fancy gold pen, it might look great but it’s tough for friends in the post office to read. And finally if you don’t want to print your own invite how about assembling them. You can have it print professionally then save a little extra cash by putting it together yourself.
