Is it possible to have a cheap wedding? For most people both things are mutually exclusive. In the end no one wants to be cheap when it comes to the most important day in their lives. However, with smart budgeting anyone can manage to have a memorable wedding without breaking the bank.

The most important thing when planning the wedding is allocating budgets – for wedding dress, dining, entertainment, wedding invitations and so on.

Usually between 2-5% of most wedding budgets go for wedding invitations and other printed materials such as programs, thank you cards, and place/seating cards.

To get most for your money when shopping for wedding invitations, go online. All major wedding invitation manufacturers and vendors have websites where you can get discounts up to 35% off the regular price.
What’s more – you can preview the invitation you like with your own wording on it in the exact lettering style and ink color of your choice. Additionally – if you opt in for standard ink colors or thermography instead of engraving, you will be able to save even more.

Vendors are able to sell at such low prices first because of the fierce competition and second because of the little overhead that they have – they don’t have to pay rent for brick and mortar store and salary to salespeople.

In order to secure your business, sometimes they offer up to 50 wedding invitations free, regardless of the size of the order, or offer free envelopes.

If you feel like you want to customize your wedding invitations on the cheap, you can do so by buying printable wedding invitations – download wedding invitation templates in Microsoft Word format, insert your details and print.

I recently found out that some specialty shops supplying tuxedos, flowers, and even jewelers give free wedding invitations to lure you to do business with them. Also, some resorts are willing to do the same if you book your honeymoon with them. All you have to do to take advantage of these offers is to ask. It is true that they don’t offer vast choice of designs, but give it a try anyway.

If you prefer non traditional wedding invitations, consider the so called Cybercard websites – they offer electronic wedding invitations that are free. It might be not so elegant, but it is free.
