Need Cheap Wedding Invitations?

Need cheap wedding invitations ? consider handcrafting them
yourself

Looking for cheap wedding invitations can be a stressful part of  
Pre-wedding preparations. oftentimes even "cheap" invitations
are actually quite pricey and discount invitations bins are
typically under-stocked and contain sets with damaged or
missing components. So how are you supposed to get cheap
wedding invitations? Well, if you have some spare time and are
decent at handicrafts, you should consider making them
yourself.

If you do decide to make your wedding invitations yourself, it's
always best to make a list of some basic crafting materials before
you go out shopping. What color of paper do you want your
invitations to be? Will you need additional materials like
ribbons, lace, or other decorative items?

You will also need to consider any types of adhesives would
work best for your project, be it tape, glue, or scrap booking
adhesives, and add this to your list of materials to be picked up. Writing utensils, like felt-tip or calligraphy pens, or a new printer cartridge may also be required depending on your
specific needs.

Because the cost of certain materials can vary greatly depending
on which store you happen to be in, it is usually worth the extra
time that it takes to shop around to ensure that you get the
lowest prices on all of the items you are looking for. Don't forget to check online and in dollar stores when comparison shopping, but do remember to factor in shipping costs if you end up buying some or all of the materials online.

So, if you've been looking for cheap wedding invitations, but
haven't been able to find exactly what you are looking for a
price  you can afford, you might want to try making them
yourself. Handcrafted wedding invitations are not only a
cheaper alternative to store bought ones, but they will also
become a special and unique keepsake for your family and
friends for years to come.

Create Cheap Wedding Invitations

Every couple that is about to get married and has set the date is looking for wedding invitations. Although it's not possible to have a wedding without these, it is possible to save on wedding invitations. Wedding invitations in the ‘budget category’ can range from very cheap to moderate.
Create a Wedding Invitation Website (Very Cheap)

This is a very cheap method for sending out wedding invitations, but it’s equally effective and it’s good for the environment because it does not waste any paper. Some options for creating a wedding invitation website include:

• Buy a domain name and design the website or have a relative or friend that has a good IT-knowledge do this. Make sure people need to log in before they can actually see the webpage because otherwise the whole World Wide Web knows the wedding date and venue.
• Couples can also start a closed group on Facebook and invite people they want to come to the wedding to join. Only members of this group can view their pages. Nice about a Facebook page is that it allows people to post comments, photographs and videos.
• If the couple doesn’t mind strangers knowing about their wedding, they can also opt for creating a free wedding page via sites like Wordpress or Blogger.

Print Cheap Wedding Invitations That Still Look Fancy (Cheap)

Those who are looking for beautiful and affordable wedding invitations, can print them themselves instead of having a company do this for them. This will save couples a lot of money. Buy nice cheap paper for the invitations and then design the invitation using beautiful fonts and images. Couples can also choose to include a black and white picture of themselves. No one will know that these invitations were inexpensive wedding invitations!

Print the invitations at home and put them in blank envelopes. Want to save on ink or address labels? Write the addresses instead of printing them! Just make sure that the handwriting is readable and visually attractive.

Drop Some Of the Wedding Invitation Extras (Rather Cheap)

Whether couples make and print their own wedding invitations or they have a company print them, they can still save money. Below are some tips for affordable wedding invitations.

• Don’t include an RSVP card with an envelope, but include a telephone number and/or emailaddress instead. In this day and age, where almost everyone has access to the internet and mobile phones, it’s perfectly acceptable to drop this card.
• Another money saver is: keep it simple. Wedding invitations that are multi-layered, contain colour pictures or are printed on very thick paper can cost a lot of money. Not only is it more expensive to print these, but they will need more stamps than standardized versions. After all, the more the wedding invitations weigh, the more they will cost.
• There is really no need for a save-the-date card. Consider skipping the card, especially when a lot of your invitees live in your hometown and when the wedding does not take place during a peak holiday time like Christmas or Thanksgiving.

Save Money To Spend Elsewhere

Cheap wedding invitations don’t have to look cheap. Personalize them and no one will know that they weren’t that expensive! Saving money on wedding invitations means more money to spend on other parts of the wedding or the honeymoon. Or put the extra money on a bank account and do something with it later on.
