Welcome to Debt-Free Wedding and saving money! Written by the guy who wrote Your Beautiful Wedding on Any Budget, get ready to save!
Many couples have discovered that they can save on all things paper by having a "do it yourself" mentality. Consider stationery and invitations, for example.
Sure, a couple can spend hundreds of dollars by having their stationery professionally printed, folded, and mailed . . . but many of the best-looking and most creative wedding invitations I have seen have not come out of a catalogue. They have come from the creative energies of the couple.
Creating your own invitations can also bring the two of you together as you plan the wedding.
So consider:
* Buying a couple of calligraphy pens from a store like Staples or Office Depot.
* Purchase some nice paper, or use various colors.
* Create your own invitations and address the envelopes by hand using the calligraphy pens. With a bit of practice you'll be writing like a pro in no time.
Give it a try!
