Wedding Stationery: Tips for Brides on a Budget

• Print as many pieces together. It is more economical to print a thank you note along with your other elements versus printing it later.

• You don’t need to print in more than one ink color to create a beautiful piece. If you really want to add extra zing without the extra cost, vary your paper color instead.

• Stickers are a great way to “brand” many elements of your wedding while keeping your costs down. Used in a classy way, stickers can serve as labels for your programs, labels on wedding favors, tags for welcome bags in the hotel rooms, etc.

• You don’t always need a fully custom design to create a custom look. Ask a design studio if they will offer you a discount if you choose from one of their existing designs. Then, modify it with a different ink color, paper color or font selection.

• See if you can order extra invitation elements that can double as something else: for example, we offer folders as part of certain invitation designs. These folders can double as program covers on the day of your wedding – the look is beautifully consistent and inexpensive since you’ve kept your costs down by not reinventing the wheel.
