Ways to save money with your wedding invitations

Shop around for wedding invitations, many on-line retailers offer discounts, do not order the first one you see. For example, if you want to order the Carlson Craft Red Shimmer invitation, go on-line and input "red shimmer" in a search engine to see if another retailer offers it at a better discount. Order your wedding invitations early, if you wait until the last minute you will get "socked" in shipping charges. Order a light weight wedding invitation, a single panel is perfect, the card stock may be lighter and again save on money and postage. Use a single wedding font color such as black. Do you really need lined inner envelopes, I agree, they make the wedding invitation ensemble more formal, but they also add cost to the wedding package, skip the lined envelopes and add color instead with a colored font. Make sure your wedding guest list is up to date, is is always more expensive to order more invitations. Ask for help from your family in addressing the wedding invitation envelopes. My mother-in-law has beautiful handwriting and money was saved, I did not have to hire a wedding calligrapher. IF your wedding is small,. say 15 guests, invite them with a simple phone call.
