4 Hidden Wedding Invitation Costs
How to Save Money on Wedding Invitations

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Affordable Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Everyone hates finding out about hidden costs, especially when it comes to your wedding. When searching for affordable letterpress wedding invitations, avoiding the financial pitfalls that some brides fall into is an important first step. To help you do this, I have come up with a short list of the four most important things to remember when it comes to trying to find affordable letterpress wedding invitations.

Postage

Unless you are hand delivering your letterpress wedding invitations, the costs for postage can be expensive no matter what kind of invitation set you order. Find out the weight and size of your completed invitation set and factor the postage costs into your overall budget.

Also, think about using an RSVP postcard instead of an entire RSVP card and envelope. This saves money on the printing as well as the postage and makes your wedding invitation package much more affordable overall.

Special Letterpress Wedding Invitation Deals

Ask the wedding invitation printers that you are thinking of working with if they offer any type of letterpress wedding invitation specials. While not all wedding invitation vendors provide these cost saving services, if you are genuinely interested in saving money on your wedding invitations, you should at least ask.

Size Matters

The size of your wedding invitation set can make a difference in the overall cost of paper, printing, envelopes and postage. So before you start ordering custom sizes and wedding invitation styles, it might be helpful to ask about any added costs associated with these personalized additions.

Charging Premiums

Some letterpress wedding invitation printers like to charge an added premium for their services. Not only is this unprofessional, it is unfair to the brides that are trying to save money and find discounts wherever they can. Make sure to inquiry about pricing in a variety of letterpress wedding invitation vendors so you know the differences between fair and inflated prices.

Letterpress Wedding Invitation Etiquette
When Is the Right Time to Send?

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Etiquette for Sending Wedding Invitation Sets

Even after working with countless brides, I sometimes still forget the proper etiquette for sending wedding invitations. Depending on the wedding ceremony location, date and style, different weddings require different types of wedding invitation etiquette procedures. That is why I decided to create a quick reference guide for my brides, so they can know exactly when they are supposed to send what portions of their wedding invitation sets, and when to expect a response.

Ordering Wedding Invitations

The first thing to remember when thinking about your wedding invitation etiquette, is to make sure to plan well in advance. Ordering wedding invitations should happen anywhere from four to six months before the event, to give yourself plenty of time to choose the perfect letterpress wedding invitation design at a price that you can afford.

Save the Date Cards

Save the date cards typically are sent out between six months to a year in advance. However, this requires that you already have picked a date, time and venue for your wedding ceremony. If you are planning on having a destination wedding or many of your guests are from out of town, it is advised that you give your guests at least five months to plan ahead.

Wedding Invitations

Proper wedding etiquette requires that you send out your letterpress wedding invitations in between six to eight weeks in advance. This should give enough time for your guests to RSVP and make arrangements for their wedding outfits and gifts.

Wedding Invitation Responses

Some brides choose to put ‘RSVP by (specific date)’ so that they have enough time to get a final count and make last minute catering and seating arrangements. While this is helpful, most guests understand that they need to RSVP well in advance for wedding ceremonies, so it is not always necessary. When determining your RSVP date, be sure to allow yourself time to call non-responders.

Final Counts

With two to three weeks left until the wedding date, it is customary to call any guests that have not yet returned their RSVP. This date may vary, depending on the needs of your caterer. Oftentimes those that have not yet responded may have simply forgotten, lost the invitation or were running a little behind. Simply explain that you need to get a final count and everything should be fine.

Hopefully this clears up some of the wedding invitation etiquette confusion that you all might be having. Good luck with your plans.

Letterpress Wedding Invitations with Floral, Indian and Destination styles

Every wedding has a unique feel and theme, so why shouldn’t your letterpress wedding invitation demonstrate this? 21st century brides come from diverse backgrounds, want custom wedding themes and love beautiful bouquets. If you are feeling like a little personalization is what you are after, and you would like to integrate one of these themes into your letterpress wedding invitation design, then you have come to the right place.

Indian wedding invitation card designs are growing in popularity among many Indian brides. Integrating traditional Indian themes or Mehndi patterns into your invitations is much easier than you think, all you have to do is ask.

To set the scene nicely and increase your guests excitement, think about adding a portion of the destination wedding location into your invitation set.

Whatever wedding theme you are thinking about, there is an invitation style to match it. Don’t be afraid to ask.

Buying Letterpress Wedding Invitations
Important Info for Buying Wedding Invites

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

How to Shop and Find Affordable Letterpress Wedding Invitations online

When planning your wedding, it is important to start off on a good financial foot and not break your budget with your  wedding invitations. Many brides hear letterpress wedding invitations and think that they must cost a great deal more than traditional invitations. I am here to tell you that this does not have to be the case. With a couple simple pointers and some budget savvy shopping, you can have the added aesthetic appeal of letterpress wedding invitations designs without the perceived increased costs.

Find Online Specials

Some invitation printers will hold seasonal specials on their letterpress wedding invitation packages. Look for these affordable letterpress wedding invitation specials and you can usually expect to save hundreds of dollars on your order right from the start.

Wedding RSVP postcard

Using an RSVP postcard instead of an RSVP card with an extra envelope can save you a lot of money. There is less printing involved, less postage, and your wedding has a lower carbon footprint because you are using less resources overall.

How Many Invites?

Before finalizing your order, you should get a fairly precise count of exactly how many people you will need to send invitations to. Having to re-order extra invites after the initial order can be costly, and conversely ordering too many invites is a waste of money.

Who Gets an Invite?

Part of the overall invitation count process is having a general knowledge of who should get an invitation card. This can be a complicated process, but there are many guides available online that can help you sort out this situation.

Knowing these tips on how to shop and what information to look for when ordering your letterpress wedding invitation designs can save you a lot of time, energy and money.
