Extras and embellishments

Should you choose, there are many creative options to the classic invitations. Perhaps you'd prefer a simple square sheet; a tall, narrow folded card; or a delicate rag paper adorned with a tassel of ribbons. Some couples today select pretty papers, colorful illustrations, photos, even three dimensional decorations such as pearls, silk, or dried flowers, or ribbons for embellishment. You can also opt for a nontraditional typeface, especial if your wedding plans are casual or modern. All of these details, however, often inflate the cost – you must ask yourself do you still want a cheap invitation or not.

Additional inserts are another way to personalize your invitation. If you're having appointed seating for the ceremony, you might include a printed pew card within the ribbon card, explaining where the guest should sit. Depending on the formality of your invitation, you may even want to include hotel and tourist information for local sights that your out-of-town guests might want to explore. Remember, through, that each affects your budget as to whether or not you want a cheap wedding invitation and the amount of postage you'll need.
