Making Your Wedding Invitations Yourself - Easy And Affordable

When you're working to a strict budget, it's a great idea to make your own wedding invitations. It gives you complete freedom to invite your guests in a style and format that suits your overall wedding theme; you can select the wording or verses that matter most to you -- and you'll save a boatload of money!

Wedding invitation etiquette varies between cultures and families, but for almost every engaged couple there is an inescapable fact: whether you're planning to have a large or a small wedding, you still have to send out invitations.

Making your invitations is a great way to personalize your wedding correspondence and gives it a unique appearance.

Homemade invitations are often made of tissue paper over white regular paper or card, and decorated colored paper. Some people even use calligraphy to craft their invitations by hand, which adds an elegant touch. You can also address each guest's invitation personally.

When you make your invitations by hand, there are no limits to how you can decorate them. Some of the most popular additions to hand-made invitations are:

• Photos of the happy couple
• Artistic calligraphy accents
• Paper flowers
• Poems or verses
• Rhinestones or sequins
• Gold or silver model car paint as accents

The Alternative: Buying Discount Wedding Invitation Stationery

Not everyone has the time or skills needed to make do-it-yourself invitations. If you would prefer to buy yours, you can easily find good cheap invitations if you go to a wedding warehouse or a party warehouse.

Most places offer discounts when you buy items in bulk and this is great if you are planning to have a wedding of 50 or more guests.

You can also save money on invitations if you personally deliver as many of them as possible rather than sending them through the mail.

You can also hand certain invitations to friends and family members to pass along for you to guests that they see more often than you do.

A final idea: why not post your wedding date and guest list on your family website if you have one?
