Invitations - Splurge or Save?

View Quoted Comment

Thank you Ashley

I definitely splurged! Invitations are your guests first impression of your wedding. They were expensive, but worth every penny. I have received so many compliments on them.

Save. They go in the trash. We found beautiful invitations for a great price.

I splurged on the STDs, but we are saving on the invitations since we are making our own!

Save. They will just be thrown out by our guests in the end. I still plan on picking invitations that have an elegant design

Saved. I tried to find the cheapest for something I still loved! Thanks Zazzle!

Saved. I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of money on paper that people are going to loose or throw away.

Umm somehow in between. We only printed 27 so I was able to splurge a little but it wasn’t a crazy about either.

No invitations. It was just us and our parents.

Save; we’re hoping to do the STD and formal all in one. Some will send RSVPS and some will text/call i am sure.

Save I am doing them myself

Save. My Mother, FH and I went back and forth for months on this. I originally wanted to splurge on calligraphy handwritten invitations, but i was (luckily) talked out of that. We decided to put the saved money into late night snacks & extra desserts! Ended up going with a design from Minted which was just as beautiful.

Haven’t bought them yet but we are going inexpensive- save

Huge save here! We paid a designer $30 on fiverr to make a save the date and wedding video cartoon of us. The video was 2 minutes long and super cute!

I plan to save. Haven't purchased any yet but I like simple elegance so I think they should be reasonably priced.

Save! DIY'd the Save the Dates and added printed photo stickers for guests to add to their calendars; may DIY invitations also.

I’m planning on saving on my invitations. I haven’t ordered them yet but I’m hoping to keep this on a tight budget.

View Quoted Comment Good for you! I thought myself calligraphy too for addressing things and I'm so thankful I spent the time to do that- not I do it all the time for friends and family for gifts and such!

Save. We are a simple couple so no need for foil and embossing. We found compostable paper and used soy ink and at the bottom it asks to please kindly recycle or compost because that is a huge thing for us! The paper and ink weren't to badly priced. Only real bummer was stamps for Save the dates, invites & RSVP.

SAVE! We DIY'd ours!
