Some of the following tips may help you save on your invitation costs:
- Choose printed or thermographed invitations instead of engraved.
- Watch the newspaper for sales.
- Don't buy all the extras such as the linings and reception cards.
- Don't buy oversized invitations that cost more to mail.
- Choose response postcards instead of regular cards to save on postage.
- Skip response cards all together and just pay for a certain predetermined number of people.
- Design and print the invitations yourself on your laser printer.
- Hand address the envelopes rather than paying for calligraphy or printing.
- Order extra invitations up front because it is cheaper than having to place a separate smaller order later on.
