First things first - - here are some tips before your order your invites! First, you need to purchase half of the number on your guest list. For example, if you are inviting 100 guests, purchase 50 invitations. Second, confirm the time, date, and address with your wedding and reception sites. Finally, if you are having your guests' addresses printed on the envelopes, make sure the addresses are correct.
What's trendy right now? Trendy invitations are bold colors with white lettering, unique patterns, added embellishments, bi-fold invitations with pockets, textures, monograms, and designer envelopes. Anything "personalized" will do!
Are you a DIY (Do It Yourself) Bride? If so, you can find inexpensive DIY wedding invitation kits at Target , WalMart, Michael's, and Office Depot. The kits include the invitation, reply card, envelope, and easy directions on how to personalize them. How much do you save on a DIY invitation? For example, if you purchase the Floral Invitation Kit-Brown (50 invites), at Target for $39.99, the invitation prices out at eighty cents each! What a bargain!
Invitation in a Box, Vista Print, and 123 Print are websites where you can customize your invitation online, the company will print your invitations, and then mail the final product to you. And what's nice about these three websites? They have an excellent selection of inexpensive trendy invitations! Worried what the finished product will look like? These sites will send you a proof online, mail you a sample, or mail you a customized sample. And yes, envelopes do come with the invitations! Want to add a photograph? These sites will allow you to upload your picture for free! Want a customize envelope or recycled paper? These sites offer that too! The trendy Say Forever is a Black invitation with white lettering and design, depending on the paper you choose, ranges from $23.00 to $26.00 for 50. That's fifty-two cents apiece!
Do you have all your guests email addresses? Or, are you having a "Green Wedding?" If so, how about creating a digital wedding invitation! At My Invitation Link , you can create "unlimited" save the date cards, invitations, announcements, and thank you cards for a low $39.00 for 3 months or $75.00 for a year. You can easily create a personalized invitation by adding your story, photographs, and music. This is a huge bargain, especially if you are having a large wedding!
A trendy wedding invitation doesn't have to break the bank. It is just having the knowledge on where to find them. From DIY, customized, or virtual - - I have given you sites to help you get started! So, you're invited to have fun bargain shopping!
