Make your own wedding invitations 

One way to save money on a wedding budget is to make your own wedding invitations. You don’t have to be an artist or graphic designer to make your own wedding invitations. There are many resources on the internet for kits, designs and ideas, and places to purchase the materials you will need.  

When you make your own wedding invitations and wedding decorations, you may want to consult a craft store for books and guides which will detail how to create your personalized favors and wedding bulletins. You can purchase a calligraphy kit with pens and ink and try your hand at addressing your own invitations. Some craft stores will offer free classes on how to make decorations by hand.  

Ask your friends and family if they will help you to make your own wedding invitations. You may want to borrow a friend’s computer or printer, or enlist an artistic person to help you design and layout your text. Before you print your invitations, make sure you have your guest list ready, and have checked that you have mailing addresses for all your guests.
