Only invite the people you really want to see at your wedding, don't feel obligated to invite everyone

Invitations are an easy place to cut costs. If you want printed invitations, order them by mail through one of the many mail-order wedding supply companies you can find in the back of any wedding magazine or on the internet. Many of the products they sell are identical to the ones you'll find at bridal shops and stationery stores, but the prices are lower. Turnaround is as fast as 24 to 48 hours, and reputable companies offer money-back guarantees. They'll send you catalogs featuring full-color photographs of the invitations and coordinating pieces, and you can request samples of any invitations you're interested in.
Another option, if you know your way around a PC and have a good laser printer, is to print your own invitations. Stationery, specialty paper, and office supply stores carry an ever-expanding line of wedding invitations you can print yourself. Wedding planning books and catalogs from invitation vendors can help you out with the wording. Be sure to have someone proof your copy before printing the whole batch, and use a high-quality printer that has plenty of toner.
