Tip #6: Cut Down on Your Printing Costs

As far as your invitations go, you can save a ton of money if you tweak just a few things. For one, choose only one ink color. Three colors might look nice, but it will add on costs that aren't necessary. Choose a colored paper instead and it will add more drama.


Next, consider combining the "Save the Date" cards with your invitations. You don't have to send out the Save the Date cards separately anymore. If you choose to forgo them, and just do invitations, send them out a little bit earlier, and save a lot of money on envelops, stamps, paper and ink.


Also, choose the shape of the invitation carefully. A square invitation might look cool, but will cost extra. Use one that can fit in a regular sized envelope. This way, you don't have to spend more on customized ones.
