Wedding Invitations For Cheap

One way to cut costs of your wedding planning, just from the beginning of your preparations, is to find a manner in which to create wedding invitations for cheap. A friend of mine, once settled on the day when her wedding celebration should begin, started with the creation of her wedding cards with three months prior her wedding day. I remember that when I received her wedding card and I was quite surprised with the way she managed to create the invitation. It was an A4 format of one page card folded three times in order to fit a window format of an envelope. The background of the card was colored in slightly defined orange-rusty maple leaves (her wedding day was set to be in one of the beautiful fall months – September) leaving empty space on the left corner of the upper side of the card where she had placed the photo of hers and her fiancé’s.




The wording was created in a black lettered font for the ceremony of the wedding including the hour, the day and the name of the church and further on the right side of the page at the bottom, the photo of two wedding rings held by two lovely doves which was positioned next to the dark red colored font of a wording for the wedding reception. The reception was located in a restaurant close to my residential area and to me was simple to reach at, therefore the use of driving instructions note was futile, but yet they did it anyway since the pattern of the invitations was one and the same for all the guests regardless of their living place.

The inclusion of driving instructions is mandatory in the composition of a wedding invitation as well as the RSVP card. The latter one being of strict necessity in order for the couple to know how far, in regard to the costs, they can go with the wedding expenditures. When I called her to announce my attendance I congratulated her on the occasion of the upcoming event and also on the creation of her wedding invitations which looked very inspired and lovely at the same time. I inquired her in regard to the costs for the cards, and she told me that actually she had managed to make the wedding invitations for cheap, less cheap than she had ever expected. She ended up buying only the card stocks and the envelopes and after that she started to do the overall design.

She told me that she was previously browsing the sites, and she got a lot of pretty good ideas from there, but since she wanted to have a very personalized aspect of her wedding cards, she begun first by downloading their photo and after that with a graphic program she took out only the contours of their faces, rendering in the end the effect of the graphic colored reproduction of their faces.  The fall leaves she had found in Clipart graphic images and she inserted them with a slightly readjusting of their contours as well, and the image of the doves had followed the same route of graphical effect and insertion.  I congratulated her once again on her ideas that helped her to considerably reduce the costs for this important item of the first steps in a wedding planning.
