Saving Money when Making your own Wedding Stationery
This gives you control over your spending and allows you to have special great looking designer stationery even on the tightest of budgets. Low price wedding stationery can still look good - and there is no need to tell your guests how little they cost.
Using decorative papers and your own PC and printer you can create invitations at minimum cost. There are the most beautiful papers now available. Floral papers are great for a summer wedding.
If you like the look of handcrafted cards and have the time, you can save a considerable amount money by making your own rather than purchasing them from a professional designer. Many of these designers started in business because they did their own wedding stationery and enjoyed it so much they wanted to carry on - so you too can achieve fantastic professional results with just a little care and attention to detail.
But, please do remember that you will need to allow plenty of time to make your invitations; make it a special enjoyable time by inviting some family & friends to help out.
Some brides-to-be choose DIY wedding stationery so they can use luxury materials without paying top of the range designer prices. As with any other aspect of your wedding, set a budget and work to it. The good thing about making DIY wedding stationery is that it is easy to make adjustments if necessary.
Here are our top cost cutting tips:
Print the words “Wedding Invitation” directly onto the card instead of using peel-off stickers or foil panels, using a template and a little practise, this very easy to achieve.
If you have lots of wedding invitations to make, think about investing in a card bone folder or scorer and a paper trimmer, then buy flat card to cut, score and fold yourself.
RSVP cards are not always necessary - many people will reply by phone, buy a special card or reply by email.
Make your design easy to follow, remember the term ' less is more', don't make it all too difficult.
Do a little research, and check the resources are readily available, nothing worse than setting your mind on something to find it is soon to be discontinued!
