Wedding Invitations

We are constantly being asked for ways to save money and
still send out quality wedding invitations. Affordable wedding invitations are
definitely possible and can still be very elegant. Unique wedding invitations
might be more expensive, but that really depends on how you define unique.

One way to save money is to buy wedding invitations that have been printed with
thermography, which is the raised lettering rather than engraved. Most people
can’t tell the difference and the engraved are much more expensive. The raised
lettering style exudes elegance but really is not that expensive to produce and
looks so much more elegant than the flat printed invitation.

If your reception is in the same location as the wedding, you don’t need to
invest in reception cards. A line after the city and state can read, “and
afterwards at the reception,” or “reception immediately following ceremony.”

Another way to save is to print out your own directions on a nice piece of
parchment, linen, vellum, card stock, whatever will compliment the style of
your wedding invitation. You will save some if you use black lettering rather
than a color as any color other than black will cost you more per item (i.e.
the extra will be charged for the invitation, another for the reception cards, and
another for the response cards, etc. It’s not a lot, but it can add up with all
the different pieces
