Make your own Wedding Invitations
Even if your concerns do not lie with having a truly one-of-a-kind invitation, do it yourself wedding invitations will certainly save you money. Making your own invitations is one of the most popular of the many ways to cut valuable dollars from that wedding budget. Some brides-to-be forgo this idea with the thought that they are just not creative enough to make an elegent handmade invitation. And this is where I want to help. On this page I'll share all of my tips, advice, and even some step by step tutorials on making handmade wedding invitations with style and class, all the while keeping some dollars in your wallet. View our gallery of invitation tutorials... And trust me, I know about keeping it on the cheap. I had an extreme budget wedding. And, of course, I made my own invitations. I will tell you that I made these invitations for less than $50.00 for around 100 guests. That includes all the supplies and paper, copying and cutting, etc... I was going for as simple as I could get while staying with my wedding theme (which was kind of a garden theme with green and lilac accents). But even if you decide to go with a much fancier or more elaborate invitation, you will almost always save a TON more money than buying them through a commercial printer or from an artist.
Where Will I Find The Time?And I know what some of you will say. "Planning a wedding is time consuming and stressful. When will I have the time to make the invitations myself?" Simple. Get help. It takes time to research different invitation vendors and artists. You then have to take the time to pick out and order the invitations as well. It could take just as much time, maybe even less, to take a trip to the arts and crafts store to pick out papers and supplies. Save even more time by picking them online. Then you just have to come up with a design and make just one invitation. Next enlist the help of some of your most creative friends and family members. While you are planning the rest of your wedding they can take care of the invitations.
