Great post, Mrs. Money Ning. I like this better half of the blog, too I’m not married yet, but someday it crossed my mind exactly the invitations. Me and my boyfriend are creative and have lots of ideas, but I don’t think we’ll make the invitations ourselves. We’ll allocate a small sum of the total budget and I’m sure we’ll find something nice and representative for us.

Another place to check for semi-custom invitations is http://www.zazzle.com. You can order from individuals on the website you can often create a design just for you, and the prices are extremely reasonable. The lady I used modified a design for the invite, and then created thank you notes to match. (We spent less than 75 dollars on the invites and thank you notes.) )

Great article. We are also on a budget and I knew right from the start it would be DIY wedding invites for us. I bought papers, and ribbon and envelopes from all different sources (ebay was very helpful) and they are ready to be made….Thanks for the inspiration…

Since this blog is about saving money, why not just run to City Hall and get married? You’ll save a lot more money than just what you’d spend on invitations.

Or even better, just live together without getting married. Depending on your income levels, you’ll save thousands of dollars each year on income taxes. Now this advice is for Americans; I don’t know how it would work in other countries.

Buy. Find a government printer. My Sister used the county to do her print job, since it’s the government they can take on limited jobs and can’t make a profit.

We were fortunate to have a friend of a friend that had a side card business. We were able to get our cards at a discount. We also had a friend that was good with penmanship who did the calligraphy on the envelopes for us.

Point is: Don’t just check out the stores and businesses. Put the feelers out to your friends and family. You never know who has a connection or a talent that can help you.

Great post, Mrs. Money Ning.
When and if I get married, can you be my frugal wedding planner?
Your wedding invitation was so pretty, it’s stored in my ‘beautiful wedding invitations’ binder.
Hope to see you soon.

I’m getting married in August and we just got our invitations. I would have loved to do them by hand but we just don’t have the time. We ended up using an online vendor, Wedding Paper Divas, that saved us some over a stationer. April, I love your sentiment about the wedding vs. the marriage. Our beliefs exactly.
