Cheap Wedding Invitation Ideas

Your wedding is around the corner and you are quite confused with the cost management. Almost everyone faces such a situation, prior to their wedding. You would obviously be thinking about various ways to cut the cost, but have you spared a thought to the wedding invitations. Now don’t think that if you arrange for a cheap option you will end up sending low grade invitations to all. Go through the tips below and you will surely like at least one of the cheap wedding invitation ideas mentioned. 

•    Don’t Go to a Card Stationary Shop

Ideally one goes to stationary stores to buy wedding invitation cards, but these are certainly not the only place to find the same.  Think of various other places for getting these invitation cards and you will find ample options before you. I would suggest that you visit office supply stores, Costco, ware house stores, mail order catalogs and even the internet for getting unique wedding invitation ideas. You will get a wide variety of invitation cards and that too at a much discounted rate. I would suggest you to check a sample; for the quality before you place an order in bulk.

•    Two In One Purpose

It’s your wedding and you have every right to personalize it the way you want. So forget about the traditional ways of sending the wedding invitation, it’s time you started something new. Combine your wedding favor and wedding invitation in one package. I will tell you how to do it, put a variety of confectioneries in a small basket, wrap it beautifully and tie a bow; now stick a small note to the basket mentioning name of invitees and send it to them before the wedding. By doing this you are saved from spending individually on invitations and favors. Using homemade cookies instead of buying confectionery will further reduce the cost and add a special touch to the invitation, all at the same time!

•    Send Invitation via the Internet

Guys it’s 21st century, do you still resist to use the internet? Of course not! Send your wedding invitations through mail to all your invitees. There is no shortage of e-wedding invitation cards on the internet and you can select one from them. You can also select more than one design from the same. So what are you waiting for? Just grab the best deal you can manage from the internet and invite your friends.

Not many people bother to budget their spending before planning for  wedding. Cheap wedding invitation ideas can indeed be of great help if you know how to judiciously use your finances while planning for the most important day of your life.

Cheap Wedding Planning


Marriage is a life time event but that does not mean that you have to go bankrupt by spending a huge amount on wedding decorations and arrangements. We have mentioned some cheap wedding ideas that will help you plan your dream day as well as save your money.
  • Save Money on Sending Postage
You don’t have to send a separate save-the-date card to each of your guests as you have already sent wedding invitations to them. You can send a common mail to all your invitees instead of sending the save-the-date card. This will save you a lot of time and money.
  • Cheap Wedding Favors
In every wedding, the newly married couple gives favors/gifts to their invitees. This is one place where you can save lots of money. There are various cheap wedding gifts ideas available online, from which you can select one. You can make some home-made cookies and keep them in nicely decorated small baskets. Gift one such basket to your each guest. If you are good handicraft or origami then make small decors and tie a personal thank you note to each one of the decor. It will personalize your gesture without burning a hole in the pocket. If you believe in futuristic thinking, you may use the festive seasons like Christmas or Easter to decide on wedding gifts and favors. If you buy them in bulk during the festive season, you will save a huge amount on these favors.
  • Wedding Venue
Keep the wedding venue simple and sober. There are various easy centerpiece ideas which you can make by yourself, so you need not buy them from stores. Do not spend too much on flowers and other decors. You can buy the decorations from charity stores and save money on wedding venue decoration.
  • Wedding Dress
Brides spend a lot on wedding dress but if you intend to save money then you can buy a second hand wedding dress. After the wedding is over the wedding gown is of no use, so buying a second hand dress is always a better idea. You can buy the dress online or from any second hand dress store. 
There are various other ways by which you can save money on the wedding. You can make a list of them and analyze how you can save money on each aspect.
