How to do cheap wedding invitations?

The cheapest way is to keep everything digital. A wedding website with e-invites lets you send one link to every guest, and they can RSVP online. If you want paper, buy plain card and print at home, or use a local print shop for a bulk run. Choose one colour and a clean layout, and print everything on one card rather than a card plus inserts.

You can also cut costs by skipping the fancy extras. No foil, no embossing, no belly bands, no separate RSVP cards. Ask guests to reply through your website instead. Use standard UK envelope sizes so you do not pay for custom postage. If you have a big guest list, send one invitation per household or family, not one per person.

Another option is to send a save-the-date by email and a printed invitation only to older guests who prefer paper. Whatever you choose, the invitation does not need to be expensive to be lovely. What matters is that guests know the date, the venue and how to RSVP.
