Skip the Upgrades – You don't need the envelope liner and fancy ink or even the intricate details.

Pick the Right Paper – Skip the fancy papers and used partially recycled paper and save money! There are tons of color choices too.

Order Extras – Spend a bit upfront to save money on the last minute ones that would cost more to order later.

Skip the Map – Enclosing a map and even other directions can cost you money. Get a Free Wedding Website and put all your maps and directions a website and include the URL on the invitation.

Skip the invitations – Go modern and use an Evite service and only have a few invitations printed for those who don't do technology like grandma and grandpa.

One Instead of Two – Don't print your reception info on a separate card, print it all on one to save money.

Skip the Self Addressed Stamped Envelope – Have your guests RSVP via your website or by phone.

Proof Read x5 – Proofread your invitations, have your maid of honor proofread and a few family members and friends. If there is a mistake, you either have to live with it or have it all printed again which will double your invitation costs.

Print Your Self – You can buy wedding invitation kits and print them yourself at home. You can get 100 invitations for under $20 for basic ones. You can get more fancy ones in sets of 25 as well.

Hand Address – Skip the fancy writing for addressing your cards. Enlist the help of family and friends and hand address them yourself!

Avoid Odds Sizes – Avoid odd size envelopes, like squares, they cost more to mail!

Use Coupons – Use Discount Wedding Invitation Sites and use coupon codes to get sales and deals on your order. Plus designing them yourself will save you money and give you a customized look.

Skip Traditional – Go for something like picture invitations. You can create a great look for free on PicMonkey or Canva and then use a site like York Photo to print them out for just 4¢ a print! You can see some of my favorite picture wedding invitations on Pinterest HERE and HERE.
