Yesterday we talked about how to save money on your Invitations, and we gave you 3 of our great tips on how to do this, today we will give you 5 more tips which should help you to save money on your Invitations..

Use a simple envelope:
The decorative part of wedding invitations also includes the envelope and envelope liner as well. If there is an area to cut back on when it comes to decorative elements, it’s the envelope. A wedding guest will be more focused on the contents of the envelope. With this in mind, why not consider choosing a simple yet stylish envelope without the decorative elements. This will save you a great amount of money that you can apply to in other areas of the wedding instead.

Steer clear of using top-of-the-range paper:
Similar to printing style, paper type also plays a major role in the cost of your wedding invitations. Cotton or linen will all be on the expensive side when it comes to wedding invitation stationery. For a cheaper option, opt for cardstock or a cotton blend instead which is typically on the cheaper end when it comes to paper types.

Look early for Deals:
Start looking for deals on invitations as soon as you have your wedding details nailed down. You can order them early even if you do not send them out until two months before your wedding. Check out printing sites like Vistaprint as they usually have some good deals and promotions for wedding invitations and save-the-dates.

Send an Email:
In an age of digital media and social networking, it has become perfectly acceptable to send an invitation by email. You could send an email invitation that includes pictures, accommodation information, and even a video of the bride and groom. This is a great idea for a frugal but creative couple.

Consider creating a Wedding Website:
When it comes to your wedding invitation suite, you can save money by having a single insert guiding guests to your wedding website instead of having multiple cards for your other events (i.e., Rehearsal dinner, day-after brunch)—as well as logistics, like transportation, accommodation details and other information about the hotel room block you may have set up for your Guests and etc.

Let’s talk Wedding Invitations..

We all know that Weddings can be a little bit costly - well, ok, let’s face it, weddings can be very costly. However, the secret to budgeting your wedding is all in the details. That said, one of the most important aspects of wedding planning (that can add up quickly) is making your wedding invitations. There are many pretty elements and fun ways to let your guests know about the big day. However, you don’t need to break the bank. Read on for our top 3 tips regarding on how you can really save money on your Wedding Invitations.

Firstly, keep it simple:
Nowadays, decorative features are seemingly endless with the ability to customise your wedding invitation any way you’d like. Everyone hopes that their wedding invitation ideas will really come to life and stand out from the crowd. From elements like wax seals to foil pressing, there are many ways to design your wedding invitations. However, sometimes simple really is better, especially when you are on a budget and trying to cut down costs.

Consider creating your own:
This is probably the obvious way to save money on invitations, but it's often overlooked. So many couples are worried that if they make their own invites that they will look messy and unprofessional. They also may not want to go through the trouble of making them when they already have so many other things on their plate. You can buy various easy -DIY/Make your own- Invitation kits out there that you can use. If you still feel uneasy on creating your own invitations, why not ask for assistance from a crafty, creative friend or relative. Some people love to do projects that allow them to express themselves creatively and will probably own a lot of the necessary tools – saving you even more money.

Reduce enhancing elements:
When it comes to creating your wedding invitation, choose one or two elements that you consider are your “must-haves” for your invitation. Start with the basics and add one or two decorative elements. You’d be amazed how much a simple touch can tie the invitation together well without going overboard.
