A major expense for many couples planning their wedding is the invitations. The invitations, the postage, the reply cards, and the addressing of the cards can run into hundreds of dollars, sometimes even more.
For couples who are planning a casual wedding on a budget, there is way to almost completely eliminate the need to pay for wedding invitations. E-vites (electronic invitations) are very inexpensive and very hip, and there are some sites that offer them for free.
This is how an e-vite works. There are usually several invitation designs to choose from. Once a design is chosen, the couple ads the wording that they would like to have on the invitation. After they are happy with their wording, they can create a guest list by adding names and e-mail addresses to a data base that the invitation site provides.
Guests receive the invitation as an e-mail. They click on a link that takes them to the invitation, and they have the option to respond electronically. The couple can then check daily to see who has responded and who hasn’t.
E-vites certainly aren’t for every wedding, but for a couple who is having an informal wedding and reception, they are an option. A few traditional invitations may need to be sent out to older relatives who do not receive e-mail, but the majority of the invitations can be sent online in a hip, inexpensive way.

Before you purchase your wedding invitations, there are some things that you should keep in mind if you are trying to keep your costs down. Not only do you have the wedding invitations themselves to think about, but the weight of the invitation, the shape of the envelope, and any inserts in the invitation. These items will determine how much postage you have to use on each invitation, so that they will get to your intended recipients.
Some things to consider:
• The size and shape of the envelope. Many of the unusual shaped envelopes, even if they are square, can cost more at the post office.
• Inserts in the invitation. If you have anything overly heavy, like something wood or metal, that will increase your postage costs.
• Whether the invitation envelope has any kinds of decorations, like bows or ribbon. Decorations on the outside of the envelope can make them more expensive to send.
• Do you need a reception card? If the reception is at the same location as the wedding, simply put “reception to follow” on the actual wedding invitation.
• Create an RSVP postcard. The postage for a postcard is much less expensive than the traditional card and envelope, plus will cost less due to less weight inside the invitation.
If you organize your thoughts and plan ahead of time, your wedding invitations can be a much less expensive endeavor.
