How to Save on Wedding Invitations
May 7, 2026
Invitations can be costly. Follow these tips for beautiful stationery that does not break the bank.
You can save on invitations. Use an online design tool like Canva to design your own invitations. Print them at home or at a local print shop. Use electronic invitations for the main invite. Send paper invites only to older relatives. Use a website like WithJoy or The Knot for free online wedding websites with RSVP functionality. Buy a template from Etsy and print it yourself. Skip the fancy envelope liners, vellum wraps, and wax seals. Use standard envelopes. Mail your invites at a standard weight. A heavy invite costs more in postage. Use a postcard for the save-the-date. It is cheaper to print and mail. The best way to save is to keep it simple. A clean, simple design is elegant.
