I don’t want to spend $300 on my wedding invitations. Usually that cost doesn’t include the RSVP, reception, inserts, etc… I want to cut costs because we are on a budget. Any suggestions on some great websites that don’t charge an arm and leg for invitations?

Any craft store sells wedding invitation kits that you can make yourself. They are around $30-$50. They look just as good as professional ones.
Affordable and wedding don’t normally go in the same sentence. Sorry
A.C. moore and Michaels have some really nice invitations. You have to make some of them but they are cheap and look very classy.
Good Luck
Break out the xerox paper and fold it.
get your local kids to sprinkle some glitter on them and take some of your old perfume or something…
Maybe you should think about just calling people…
A long time ago I ran into this website that had these nice invitations that you could put your pics and baby pics on them! I think one package was about 300! Go to yahoo and type in WEDDING INVITATIONS WITH PHOTOS! THAT’S ONE
IT ALL DEPENDS THE AMOUNT OF INVITATIONS YOU NEED!
If you have a Dollar tree store in your town, that’s the place to go. You’ll find all your thank you cards there also. Or if you prefer Staples’ Store, they also have a lot of invitations. Hope you find what your looking for. Good luck!
Make them yourself! We’re making our invites ourselves and they won’t cost as much as if we buy them at the printers (est about 1/3 of the cost!)
Use stock or card paper. We’re using vellum paper (get them by the ream – costs less and you have extra for mistakes). If you like you can get parchment paper and use that to add a little bit of “special” to the invite. Get a good inkjet or laser printer. Design your own invite then print away! Check Verseit.com for how to word your invite.
Good luck!
my friend made her own and they were beautiful!!!!! she just used her printer and some creativity. And this way u can put whatever you want and without paying the price. good luck. look at some websites that have homemade wedding invitation for some ideas!
Micheal’s…duh create them yourself and ur good
Print them yourself! Michael’s and Meijer (I’m sure there’s more, but I’ve helped friends do their weddings and these are the two stores I’ve used) has beautiful blank invitations that you just print on your own, with whatever color ink you want. They turn out beautiful, and I found it helpful that they even had samples of invitations inside to help you word it right, too. Have fun!
Depending on how many you need you could try eBay. there are sometimes people who bought too many and are only to happy to get at least some money back.
Take a look in the sales as there may well be some good deals available at places like high street stationery shops.
Congrats on getting married.

Check out Yours Truly Invites. They are a new company so their site isnt finished yet but if you email them, they will send some samples. My friend used them for her wedding invitations and they were incredible.
They can work with you to custom design an invitation specifically for your event. I think it cost my friend $50 for the pdf of the invitation, reply card and 1 enclosure card. Then you can either print them yourselves from home or take the pdf to a print shop. My friend ended up printing hers at home and the entire thing cost her $85 for 100 invitations ($35 for the paper & envelopes. It will cost a little more if you need to refill your ink).
I think its definitely worth checking out.
i got mine at wal-mart for 7 dollars for 25 of them went on my own computer and typed them up my self and printed them it took a little bit but if you have time u can do it your self or if you need someone too i am starting my own wedding service and i can do it for you just email me and let me know
I’m making my own because while I want them to be cheap, I don’t want them to ‘look’ cheap. Don’t buy a DIY kit though, those drive up the price. Buy each piece individually and in bulk. Here’s a good site to order the pocket folders from, a lot of these are under $1 They’ll provide the ‘frame’ for the inviation (shop around though, there are probably cheaper ones)
And as far as paper for the insides go, it’s cheaper to buy large sheets and cut them to size. I’m actually printing my own at staples on larger sheet (2 invitations to a sheet) and cutting them to fit, and gluing them down with spray adhesive. I had the idea to line the pocket with wrapping paper in a nice pattern with my colors, but I ended up just designing that too.
For the inserts, I’m designing my own and printing them on cardstock, then cutting them down to size. They’re smaller so I can probably print at least 4 per sheet, which is pretty cheap to do.
Good luck!

Try. Tell her you are on a budget, give her an idea of what you are looking for and I’m sure she can help!! We went with her to design our package. She custom designed everything to accommodate our wedding budget and everything looked fantastic!!!
She offers print-your-own designs which could save you. This way you don’t get charged shipping etc. and get everything printed at your local Staples.
