Making wedding invitations on a budget is not difficult. You just have to use some basic ideas and you will have beautiful invites for your perfect big day!
Before you get started determine what type of announcement you want. Most likely you will need an RSVP card. Unless you have an idea of how many to plan for. You can add the reception information to your invitation. This usually is not done unless the reception is in the same place as the wedding. The purpose of the reception card is to give your guests the location on a separate piece of paper so they know where they should go. You can easily add this to the invitation if you like. This has become a common practice today.
Know what type of invitation will you use. A folded invitation, a flat card, or a seal and send wedding card. You do not need any fancy paper for your invite. Any thing that your printer will print on will work. You can get the standard card stock at Office Depot, Office Max or Staples. If you purchase it there they will cut it for you. I do advise to have your card stock cut to size before you print on it. This will save time and help avoid the chance of a wrong cut after they are printed.
Once you have decided on your type of announcement, you are ready to go. Each type of invite does have advantages. Making wedding invitations on a budget, means determining which type you will use, here are the pluses of each:
- A folded one will give more room to put information . You can add a photo on the front, put a poem on it or add something that will give a clue to your wedding theme.
- A flat wedding card announcement will be easy , it can be less expensive and you can embellish it to be perfect for you day. You will also avoid chances of added postage.
- A seal and send can be the most economic wedding invitation. It is just one card that is perforated for a tear off RSVP postcard. Having a postcard RSVP will save postage. It also saves because there are no envelopes.
Now that you have the type you want, you can get your proper wedding word and start typing. Use a nice script font, This will make a big difference to the feel of you card. Make sure these will be easy to read. Print a sample first. Adding some nice wedding clip art can also accent your special day.
Making wedding invitations on a budget, may even be more fun than you think. You have control and this is the lead into your big day. Practice making some invites and go from there. You have the advantage of seeing just what you will get instead of waiting to see what they will look like and hopping they are what you want …
