As you do your wedding planning, your eye is probably on your budget. Many budget conscious brides are always looking for ways to cut corners and save here and there. Your wedding invitations are no different. While most brides know to shop around for the best prices and that the type of printing on the invitation affects the cost, there are some other ways couples can save money on their wedding invitations.

Get a Package Deal
If you buy all your wedding stationery in one place you will most likely find that you are getting the best deal. Many stationers offer special package deals that can save you anywhere from 10 to 50 percent.

The Flair
You may want some flair on your wedding invitations, like bows or jewels, but that flair can add up quickly. If you are on a tight budget consider going with a simple invitation style that reflects elegance. However, if you absolutely must have some flair on your invitations, try putting it on yourself. This way you can avoid any extra assembly costs.

Mailing Your Invitations
Postage costs add up quickly, so you may want to use standard size invitations to save on postage costs. If you are not sure what the postage would be on different invitations, head over to the postal service to ask. The extra five or ten minutes to get clarification can save you hundreds on postage.

Use a Postcard RSVP
Speaking of saving money on postage, using a postcard RSVP can save you significant money on your wedding invitation costs. Postage for postcards is much less that the postage required for an envelope. Also, the lack of an extra envelope will save you money on your stationery costs.

Cut Out the Reception Card
If you are planning a wedding in which the wedding and reception are in the same place, then try cutting out the reception card completely. There is no need to direct people to the different location, so it is unnecessary. Instead, try writing “Reception to Follow,” on the invitation. Then all you need is a simple insert with directions to the wedding.
