How to prepare your wedding invitations the traditional way

If you're doing your own invitations, check with some small local print shops for leftover envelopes they may have. You can purchase these a hugely discounted price. Don't get freaked out if you have several various sizes or styles. How many people are going to ask each other at your wedding what size envelope their invitation came in?

If you need to have RSVP's, consider putting it on a small postal size card. That way you eliminate an envelope and it adds to the convenience for your guests. All they have to do is fill it out and drop it in the mailbox. Definitely, you'll need to provide the stamp for this card.

Consider also printing reception information directly on the invitation itself. For an RSVP, provide a phone number and/or e-mail address for guests to respond to. Not only will this save you on postage, you'll have all the info right there for your guests to refer to before the big day instead of them having to save a separate reception card.

You can take labels to print out addresses on your computer. We would suggest getting the clear labels as it just looks better. The most prominent label maker is Avery. Their website offers free templates to print out your labels, so you may want to check that out before struggling with a software program.

If you don't like the impersonal nature of address labels, address the envelopes by hand. You can get info about calligraphy online or just use your best handwriting!

Some brides don't want the hassle of do-it-yourself invitations. We happened to have a friend who sold wedding invitations as a side business at an incredible cheap rate and she offered up a discounted rate as a wedding gift. We ended up with 300 invitations for just $60. Not everyone can be that lucky, however. Check out places online for the most savings.

Finally, when it comes to wedding invitations, one of your largest expenses is going to be the postage. You really have no control over that unless you're the Postmaster General and even then, I doubt it! You may want to hand deliver some invitations to save on postage. I know I would prefer to have the bride or groom personally hand me their invitation. It tells me I'm special to them and I know it's money-saving them the cost of a stamp!
