Super budget wedding invitations hack!

SraDeCarrillo, on June 4, 2019 at 4:31 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 1 10

I just wanted to share my super saver budget wedding invitation idea incase anyone else is looking for the cheapest way to do their invitations. I just got got 50 invitations and 50 RSVP cards for $25!!!!

This is what I did: I went to the Wedding Chicks Website and used a free template for my invites and RSVP. They have some nice ones to choose from. You can also find some nice invitation templates For free here. Then I made a collage of a few of our engagement pics online. I don’t remember which site I used for the collage but I googled “free collage” and used one of the first ones to pop up.

Then I went to this part of Vista print that sells post cards. I ordered 5”x7” post cards with my collage on one side and my invitation on the other side. Then I ordered 4”x6” post cards with my RSVP on them.

To mail them I’ll need A7 envelopes. Hobby lobby has them for less than $4 for a pack of 50 white ones.

This enabled me to make my invitations bilingual, I filled in everything I needed in both English and Spanish and made a simple invite that will work for both FH’s family and mine. Bilingual invites were super expensive and buying two sets of invitations was expensive and extra work.


Vista print is having a 50% off sale right now so this is the best time to try to get the most for your money.


I can post a pic of the final product when it comes in the mail if anyone is interested.

    Thank you. I’m glad I was able to do it so cheap. Now I can use the rest of my invitation budget elsewhere in the wedding.

    Yes I love your postcard hack. I did the same. The stamps for them are cheaper!

    This is such a neat idea! My mom's family is Honduran, but we're only inviting my grandparents, and they'll be driving in with my parents. We're trying to keep our wedding small, and my grandma is one of twelve!

    I have 7 siblings, and FH has 7 siblings. My mom has 9 siblings and I think FH’s father has more than that lol. FH’s family speaks only Spanish. Most of them are in Guatemala but he has a few siblings, cousins and other family members here. So small for us is 50 guests and its pretty much immediate family.

    Our ceremony will also be in English and Spanish. It took some time to find a bilingual officiant but we are live streaming the ceremony in Guatemala and I want everyone to be included and understand.

    I didn’t even think about that but, they are light weight so that makes sense.

    Oh, wow! That's so unique! I'm so happy for you! We're also having an intimate ceremony of 50ish with immediate family and close friends.
