frugal wedding invitation ideas?

[Julie Sandusky]

With the current economy many brides are looking for ways to spend less on all of the elements for a wedding.* Some splurge on the food, others on the floral or stationary.* There are many ways to do unique wedding invitations without breaking your budget.* In the world of custom invitations - just think less is more.*

Eliminate the excess.
Take out*all of the various layers and mounts - this will add on so much cost, not only for production - but also with labor and materials.*

Keep it simple.
Keep the functionality of the piece simple and use rich,*bold*papers and colors to create a higher end design.* You will use less materials and eliminate specialty work*but still have a beautifully striking design.*

Go for graphics.*
Use floral graphics, damask designs, ornaments and*monograms to keep the piece looking unique to you.* This also gives you an element to place on each piece to carry out a continuing theme and to give*your wedding a very polished look and feel.

Break the mold.*
Think outside of the box with embellishments you could use which will still be unique, but not so costly and hard to work with.* Simple metallic string, lace, paper bands, different colored envelopes, scrap-booking brads, etc.

Cut out the bulk.
Include what you need - perhaps just a reply postcard and information card.* Send your guests to your wedding website for the details.

Splurge on one element.
Decide what you love best and perhaps spend a bit more their.* Maybe you love custom maps or a custom stamp*or a unique material such as a wood veneer, velvet ribbon or a cedar sprig.* You can still*find a way to incorporate the element you love - just keep the rest of the design on the lower cost side.

Weddings are such a money-sucker. Keeping it simple and remembering what it's all about will save you a lot of money. No reason to spend 6 month's salary on flowers and tablecloths.

hello,
if you are looking for the most special and unique idea- interactive invitations.
the invites are send in an internet signature, which on pressing it, sends you to the link of your own game or animation. the bride and groom are staring as the heroes of the games, and you "win" the details for the wedding.
of course there is a very easy way to reply RSVP in an e-mail message.

and to make sure that everyone saves the date- you get also a printable version of the designed invitation, which you can send in the traditional way- mail.

the site is new and continue developing all the time, but you are more than welcome to visit and order your one amazing invitation.
