Unique wedding invitation ideas that won't break the bank
By Tiffany Childs
Wedding invitations can seem a little daunting with all the parts they can include, such as an outer envelope, inner envelope, the actual invitation, a response card, and possibly a map and a reception card if the reception is being hosted at a location far from the actual wedding. With all of those pieces you may be thinking that the wedding invitations will be the most the expensive part of your celebration! However, there are several ways to create unique wedding invitations that will fit nicely into your budget. Here are some tips on doing just that.
First of all you don’t have to include all of the pieces listed above. Those are all of the potential parts of a wedding invitation. But, the nature of your wedding and your budget really determine which pieces you need. For instance, an inner envelope holds only the wedding invitation and may be seen as an unnecessary custom in many situations.
One piece of a wedding invitation that is necessary though is the response card. One unique wedding invitation type that helps saves money is a fold-up. These fold-up invitations include a response card on the perforated lower section. All you have to do is address the other side, fold, seal, and mail it. You don’t even need an envelope to mail them.
Another big cost of wedding invitations is the printing. One way to customize your wedding invitations and still stay on budget is to print the invitations yourself. Several options are available for this, but perhaps your simplest option is to purchase flat invitations. This type of wedding invitation comes with 2 invitations on each 8-1/2"x11" sheet, making it extremely easy to print in either a laser or inkjet printer. Additionally, they are micro-perforated for clean separation. And if printing the invitations yourself is still a little too costly you can always choose to handwrite your invitations. It adds a nice personal touch and helps you stay under your budget.
Many people want to make their wedding invitations pretty enough for their guests to use as a keepsake. This oftentimes means including accents such as ribbons, which can drive up the price you pay per invitation. One way to create a beautiful and unique wedding invitation without breaking the bank is to consider pocket invitations. These invitations include a satin ribbon that makes them special, but since they are smaller this won’t really affect the price of postage in the way larger options will. And there are plenty of other pocket invitations that include wraps, ribbons and tissue paper that make them attractive.
The best thing to remember when creating a unique invitation is that the more personalized it is by you, the more meaning it will have for your guests. Try not to get caught up in the idea that your wedding invitation has to include everything that is available because each piece you add to your invite adds a little more cost for you. A custom wedding invitation doesn’t have to mean an expensive one if you’re careful with your options.
