Letterpress Invitations- Size Does Matter
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Deciding on wedding invitations is one of the first choices the bride and groom will make. This is a great time to investigate all styles, colors and options available in order to find the best invitations, at the best price as well.
Shopping at your local stationery store as well as browsing online allow you to see and choose from a variety of styles and papers design options. Obviously shopping online is a much easier way to do this as you can simply browse websites and compare pricing and turnaround times as well as any discounts or free shipping.
Ways to help reduce the cost of your invitation are numerous but one example may be a wedding invitation that is shown with a white 5 x 7 card and then also has a backer card that gives it an 1/8 border all around. Having this border removed saves you $1.00 per invitation! After that you can add motifs and monograms for no additional cost if they are printed in the same color as the the invitation. If you add another color the cost will increase so just go with a one color run. Save more money by doing a website and just sending out one invitation and having the responses done via the website. This can save you hundreds but keep in mind it is not traditional and doesn’t come across as nicely.
