How to save money on wedding invitations

You have to come to terms with the fact that it’s almost impossible to make your wedding a cheap affair. Still, you must take the necessary steps to ensure that your wedding expenses don’t end up burning your pockets. 

You should be ready to pay a hefty amount for everything, from decorations and caterers to your wedding outfit and flowers. However, there are certain areas where you will be able to save significantly with a little bit of planning. For instance, you can plan to save on wedding invitations. The section below includes tips for saving money on wedding invitations and tells readers how much they may need to spend on them. 

Tips to Save Money on Wedding Invitations

Irrespective of where you are located, you will get stationeries of different quality and styles. This ensures that you can have your wedding invites customized using stationery matching your budget and preferences. The section below talks about more innovative ways to save money on wedding invitations. 

Build a Website: Are you wondering how to save money on your wedding invitations? Begin by building an attractive wedding website. This will allow you to save space and keep the invitations short and precise. Having a dedicated wedding website will allow you to direct all your guests to it for gathering more crucial information about your wedding. The site should have detailed information on everything from the wedding venue to wedding activities. This means you will not need to print the same information on the invitation suite. 

As there will be much less information to be printed, the number of cards in the invitation suite will decrease automatically. This will reduce the overall printing expenses considerably. Additionally, invites with fewer cards in them will weigh less and you will not need to pay additional amounts for mailing heavy envelopes. 

Go Digital for Guests RSVP 

This is one of the most effective ways to save money on wedding invitations. Most wedding invitations tend to come with an RSVP (along with an envelope). You can save significantly by ditching this tradition. Instead of using mail-back RSVPs, have all your invitees RSVP online. This will eliminate the need for buying first-class stamps for the RSVP envelopes and thus save you a lot of money. 

Buy Everything from the Same Company 

Choose a stationer who will be able to design and make every single stationery item you are looking to use for your wedding. If you opt for a package that would include all kinds of stationery you will need before the wedding day, during the wedding, and after the wedding is over, you will most likely be greeted with great discounts. The stationer may also waive the service fees.

Now that you know how to save money on wedding invitations, you should read the next section to know about the average expense you may need to bear for getting the invites ready. 

Average Cost of Wedding Invitations

You must prepare your wedding invites with care as it is the first thing all your guests will see. However, there’s no need to go overboard with the invitations. Begin by finding out the average cost of invitations for wedding and prepare your budget accordingly. Your aim should be to not exceed the average cost. Following the tips in the section above may also help you to keep your expenses for invites less than the cost of wedding invitations average

Recently obtained numbers suggest that couples spend $590 on wedding invites on average. According to experts, this amount can vary depending on whether you are opting for invites prepared following existing designs, fully customized invites, semi-customized invites, or invites having minor customizations to materials and text. 

The average cost of wedding invitations per person can be just a few dollars if you use semi-customized invites. It would be a good idea to go for this variant as it will allow you to have basic customizations done without making you spend hefty amounts. 

This leads to the question, what is the average cost of wedding invitations if you go for fully customized invites. In case of full customization, you will have to pay according to the selections you make. You may also need to pay some additional fees if the services of graphic designers or artists are required. 

The above discussion shows that the cost of wedding invites depends entirely on your preferences and requirements. You should be the one who decides how much money you want to spend and where you want to save. Ideally, you must be ready to spend 10% of the overall cost of the wedding on the invites.
