Wedding invitations don't have to ruin the party. No, the celebration doesn't have to be stifled because the invitations are overpriced. Follow the tips in this article to save a lot of money on your upcoming invitations.

Frugal couples are always looking for ways to save money, and the invitations can cost a pretty penny. Paper that easily tears or bargain-bin blurry printing is not necessary. In fact, you can get the right invitations - luxurious and beautiful - for a decent price.

First of all, look around at party and stationary stores. Don't think that that's where the buck stops or the story ends. There are lots of places to look that most people overlook. Kinko's FedEx, Staples, Office Max, office supply stores, discount super-stores, Wal-Mart, Costco, mail-order catalogs, Google catalog search, clearance and discount warehouses, and the Internet are all places to look. The Internet, and not just Amazon, is the biggest store there is. It's a boon to smart consumers because they get the benefit of connecting with people all around the world. These places offer the same wedding invitations for much less, and they offer samples in the mail so you can preview the quality of the print and paper before buying in bulk for the wedding.

Wedding invitations use disparate printing techniques. Embossing costs the most, but you can get the same effect with thermography. An identical raised look can be purchased for far less money. More casual affairs can use laser printing - the type used in magazines and postcards. Also, avoid the additional extras like jackets, layered paper, ribbons, etc. These little add-ons quickly add up to a price you can't afford easily. There might be assembly fees and postage costs in excess of your budget. Furthermore, lined envelopes can cost you more than you can afford.

Discount specials and bulk offers are excellent for people on a tight budget. Buy your many invitations as a single unit instead of separating out the invitation, response card, envelopes, and other additions. Keep thank-you cards and other riffraff all bundled up in one package.

There are even more ways to save money on wedding invitations. Use only one envelope to send your invitation. Use a standard-size invitation. Don't use a reception card. Proofread. Disqualify all other envelopes and associated cards. Include all the information on the invitation itself. Most people appreciate clarity, uniformity, and sensibility as well.

Stick with these tips, and your wedding invitations won't cost much at all.
