7 Ways To Save Money On Wedding Invitations
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.
