Brides on a Budget: Your Wedding Stationery and Wedding invitation Guide

Even in these tough economic times, many people go far over budget when planning their weddings. After all, there are so many costs associated with celebrating your wedding that's it's hard to rein in expenses to align with what you can afford. For example, you might not realize just how expensive wedding stationary as a whole can be or just what you may or may not need. When picking out wedding invitations you can't just look at your total stationary budget and spend that or you will come up short. However, if you plan appropriately you can have the invitations of your dreams and fit in all the other extras while staying in your budget.

Your Budget

No matter whether you have 12 guests or 300, cost is a concern for most people planning a wedding. Obviously not all budgets were created equal, but it's important to create one. You can even find and use online tools that will help you figure out just how much you really should be spending on invitations and other stationary. Don't worry if your budget is small-there are easy ways to save and endless styles to make every bride happy.

Wedding Stationery Checklist

Not every couple and every wedding will have the same needs when it comes to stationary, so now that you have your budget you can decide just what you will need. It's important to remember a few things: first you'll have to pick out and focus on the items that you really need, and since your unique wedding invitations will be your first impression, you'll want to spend more on them than any other stationary you choose.

Choose from the following:

* Save The Date Cards/Engagement Announcement
* Wedding Day Invitations
* Evening Invitations
* RSVP Cards
* Information Cards
* Order Of Service
* Order Of The Day
* Guest Books
* Table and Seating Plans

Get More For Less

There are ways to save money on some of these items that can allow you more money to put toward your custom wedding invites. You can easily save by not having any save the dates or by doing e-save the dates. E-save the date cards will save money, time and paper - so you can brag about being eco-friendly as well. Many sites offer free wedding websites, and this can be a great way to inform your guests about what to expect without adding extra stationary costs like information cards or the order of the day cards. You can have all the information in one place for your friends, and you can spend more of your money on the most special invitations. DIY handmade wedding invitations can also save money and add a special touch.
