Top Tips for Saving Money

It’s so exciting to send out your wedding invitations it’s the first glimpse your guests will see of your big day.  If you want to save money but don't want to compromise on style and quality, then making your own invitations can literally save you hundreds of pounds on your stationery budget.  We can help you to create the look of expensive handmade invitations for a fraction of the cost to really set the tone of your wedding day.

You don’t have to be that creative, our unique Invite Designer will guide you through 6 simple steps to design and personalise your wedding stationery to suit your own individual style and theme, you can watch you’re design literally come to life as you go through the steps, alternatively take a look at our beautiful designer invitation kits.

Remember that you're inviting couples and families when working out the number of invitations you need.

Mix the styles to create a full stationery set and reduce your budget further. For example, you may really like the idea of the pocketfolds, as these are the most expensive designs, why not choose them for your day invitations and then go for a much cheaper but still classic layered square or the long layers for your evening guests. Those two designs also make very inexpensive menus and thank you cards.

Allow for a handful of spares when ordering, just in case you make an error or you decide to invite more guests, as this will save you money on additional postage costs.

Order a sample first, so you can see the colours first hand and have a go at making one, watch our videos to see how easy the designs are to make.

Due to the very high volume of invitation sample requests we receive, we do charge for samples, but if you just want to see a colour of a swatch of card or ribbon (upto 4 each) then pop an email to us and we will post those out to you free of charge.

If we don't have the colour board/outer you're looking for, then a subtle way to bring your theme into your design, is to use a pale ivory or white outer and then use ribbon, embellishments and/or inserts as an accent of your colour theme. 

The invitations ordered through Invite Designer, only require simply assembly.  The quickest way to make them is to assemble them in stages, rather than making a complete one each time. So, assemble all the outers first, then add all the inserts, then ribbon etc etc.

Invite a friend, family member or bridesmaid to give you a helping hand over a glass of wine!
