Most people probably read a wedding invitation they receive once, note down the date, time and venue, fill out the RSVP card (if there is one included), and throw the invite away. There is, therefore, absolutely no need to spend a whole lot of money on this aspect of the wedding, we believe. If you are a budget-savvy couple looking to save big on your wedding arrangements, then one area you can do so is the wedding invitations. Read on for incredibly simple ideas to leave money in your pocket while still impressing guests with the perfect wedding invite. DIY Approach This is the most obvious route to saving big on your wedding invitations. Simply sit in front of your personal computer and use certain software tools to create a gorgeous invite that infuses a bit of your personality into it. Microsoft Word and Paint are some examples of tools that can help you create basic but nice-looking wedding invitations. The next step is to simply print as many copies you need or as your guest lists indicate. If you do not have a printer available at home, there are many places you can get these invites printed at discount wholesale rates. Many printing shops also sell leftover envelopes at discounted prices. So check out a couple of these and save big on your wedding stationery. Maximize Your Invitation If you are having a reception following the wedding banquet in the morning, simply print the details of the reception on the same invite. Additionally, to save money on RSVP cards and postage, just include your phone number or email address where guests can confirm their attendance on the invites. This will save you tons of money on postage and your guests will also thank you for the convenience. Shortlist Several Vendors Many couples do not like the DIY approach to wedding invitations. What one can do in such cases is get them made by professionals by first short listing several of them. This way, the chances of getting someone to agree to your budget go higher. If you are lucky, someone from your friend/family circle can also help you design and print the invitations while giving you a huge discount in the process. Online Invites Many online invitation websites allow you to design or choose readymade yet unique wedding invitation templates that help you quickly create and e-mail those invites to your guests. The best part is that these sites also allow you to add music or photos to these invites. Naturally all your guests need to have an accessible mail id which they check regularly. It is important that you set aside a fixed date for them to RSVP by and also ask the guests to contact you by phone. This is a fantastic way of saving money and paper for an eco-friendly wedding. Social Media Invitations Another economical way of inviting guests to your wedding is through the social media. Most people from your guest lists are likely there on these sites and you can create an event and invite some or all of your contacts to it. This is easy to do and also free of cost. The downside is that you have to be careful so as to not upset people you aren’t inviting to the wedding. Also, you might have to arrange for different wedding invitations for people who do not have access to social media websites. These are some easy ways of saving big on wedding invites.
