How can I save money on wedding invitations?

Digital invitations are the biggest saving. You can design your own, add your wedding website link, and send them by email or private message. Guests can RSVP online, so you avoid reply cards and postage. If you want printed invitations, keep the design simple and print them at home or at a local print shop. Use one design for all your stationery, such as the order of service and thank you cards, so you can order in bulk and save on setup costs. Choose a standard size that fits a normal envelope, and weigh your invitations before buying stamps so you do not pay extra. You can also reduce the number of invitations by sending one per household, and by inviting families together. Another way is to skip the separate invitation and use your save the date as the invitation, or send a single elegant card with all the details. If you are having a religious ceremony, check with your venue or place of worship whether they provide printed orders of service, which can save you that cost. Always proofread carefully before printing, because mistakes are expensive to fix.
