Cheap Wedding Invitations

Cheap Wedding Invitations are possible! There are multiple options to make the whole process cheaper.

It's all going to come down to how much you are willing to spend and how little you care about tradition.

Here are some Discount and Free Invitation ideas:

PRINT YOUR OWN: Print your own invitations at home. If you have a friend who knows Photoshop, they can create a custom wedding invitation for you. Otherwise, scour the internet - there are free printable invitations out there waiting for you! Or, use your own computer skills and print them yourself! As a note, you will still have the cost of paper, ink, and postage if you choose this option.

ONLINE STATIONARY: It's nicer than Evite, but cheaper than mailing! You custom design your invitation and it helps you track responses. The cost could be anywhere from $5 and up depending on how many invites you want to send and how detailed the invitation is. This is the way of the future!!! Check out sites like: www.paperlesspost.com for more information.

MAKE YOUR OWN: Get out the crayons, markers, glue, and glitter...and make them yourself! For someone crafty, this is a great idea! This lends a very cozy touch to your invitations, but if you're inviting a 100 couples...beware, that's a lot of work!!!! Just keep in mind the cost of all the supplies.

VIDEO INVITATIONS: It's the newest craze! Make a video or a video trailer...for your wedding!!! Get out your camera and shoot a short video, just make sure you include all of your wedding details. Then upload it and email the link to all of your invited guests. If you're concerned about privacy and posting your wedding video for the entire internet, password protect the video and only send the password to those you invite. That way you won't have a lot of uninvited guests.

EVITE: Did I just say the word Evite? YES. I hear thousands screaming, "But it's not traditional!!!!" No, it's not. It's new, that's why it freaks people out. First off, it's FREE - the ultimate in cheap wedding invitations! Yes, free. And, it saves paper...which is better for the planet. Think green!!!! Think all that paper you'd waste and the trees you'd kill with your "traditional" invitations. There's no postage. I repeat, FREE. People can also reply instantly and you have a digital record of who replied...much less work for keeping track. Are you so sure that being traditional is that important to you? Keep in mind, though, for the people that do not have email, you will need to send a traditional invite. Be prepared to be considered a rebel, though, by people who believe in tradition.

POSTCARD REPLY CARDS: Make the reply cards...postcards and save on postage! It may only be pennies, but those pennies add up!!!!

SEARCH THE INTERNET: Search the internet for cheaper deals on invitations. The competition is now worldwide! There will be deals out there for cheap wedding invitations, you just need to find them.

WIN A CONTEST: This is a long shot, but there are many bridal contests out there - enter them all...and maybe you'll win something! It could be free wedding invitations!

Be creative! You can stick to your budget, have cheap wedding invitations, and still have a wonderful wedding!!!
