In this Five on Friday episode, I’m giving you 5 ways to cut costs on your wedding invitations because, let’s face it, we all pretty much want to save money where we can and we don’t want to break the bank when it comes to our wedding budget.  When it comes to wedding invitations, there are so many different options to select from -- you have to figure out the style you want, what type of fonts and colors to use, what enclosure cards to add to your invitation suite and what type of cardstock or paper you want to use.  The options are endless and can get overwhelming at times!  And then of course, couple that with having expensive taste and getting sticker shock when you see how much an invitation will cost then multiply that by how many actual invitations you need.  But don’t you worry - here are 5 tips on how you can cut some costs when it comes to your wedding invitations.

1. Use a local printer

2. Make the most of your space

3. Try partial customization

4. Skip the calligraphy

5. Use RSVP postcards or online RSVPs
