10 Tips on Wedding Invitations

1. Shop savvy
The #1 way of saving on wedding invitations is by making a few simple, subtle changes that don’t sacrifice aesthetics or style.

For instance, instead of having invitations engraved, choose an alternative printing method like thermography. It looks like engraving but costs far less.

And, do you really need the blind-embossed return address on your envelopes?   Instead, print it in a rich type style that coordinates with the rest of your invitation ensemble for a fraction of the original cost!

Try choosing a simple-black envelope lining instead of the more-expensive black moire lining. Your guests will never know the difference, while you’ll have that much more to spend on other wedding essentials!

Party City offers a fine selection of card stock and a variety of printing options to suit every budget. For those of you who would rather take matters in your hands, explore the extensive line of the  “Print Your Own” invitations. These are elegant stationery pieces that you buy in store, then easily design and print at home. Look for printing tips and support through top wedding brand, Wilton’s dedicated website www.wiltonprint.com — yet another great way to save a bundle! Read the rest of this entry »
