You don't want your cheap wedding invitation to look tacky but you can save money by shopping around, I had a look at Ebay for some invitation ideas and if you are patient you can get a bargain!Click here for auctions!
Although I have always wondered if anyone has had the nerve to use all of those sample invitations that you get sent when you make enquiries to wedding stationers. Maybe that is one step too far - but who ever compares wedding invites ;o) Just a thought!
Wedding invitation designers and stationers will design to a budget, it is up to you to stick to this as they are sales people. Can you live without the gold leaf or complicated fold? If you can great you have probably saved yourself a few hundred pounds!
If you are sending your cheap wedding invitations in the UK remember that postage costs have changed to include the size of the letter, you don't want a nasty surprise which could add to the budget.
Think about those invitations you can hand deliver - a saving on postage costs - it all adds up.

Another affordable cheap wedding invitation idea is to make your own unique wedding invitations.
If you are artistic this could be a great way to personalise the invitations, craft shops have loads of wedding bits and you can buy blank cards to add your design to.
For those less arty the age of digital photography and computer graphic programs could be your answer to save some money, but before you go down this route for cheap wedding invitations just think of the stressful nights of trying to line up fonts
and dealing with a printer that will under no circumstances print anything other than those funny wingding symbols! If you are more computer confident than I am, go for it!
Making your own is also great for your
thank you notes
as any extras you can save for using as your thank you cards, just change the lettering!
Ideas on how to address your wedding invitations
Buying a cheap wedding invitation kit is a simple and neat solution, you can buy packs from most stationers. Having reviewed a selection recently they would be possible to further personalise. If you know someone who can write in calligraphy then this will definately upgrade the look or you could write your details in a silver or gold pen to compliment the printed words.
A cheap scroll wedding invitation is to have the invitation hand written, everybody knows someone with great handwriting so why not ask if they would be able to help with the invitations. It is all about who you know and this could be a great wedding present to you.
Destination wedding invitations if you are getting married abroad are a great opportunity to be unique.
Your wedding invitation could be a postcard from the hotel or town or a souvenir. I once received a Spanish fan with my invitation for a wedding in Spain which has always stuck in my mind.
