1 “Love the look of letterpress but not the price? Splurge on it for
the main invitation but choose less-expensive flat printing for
insert cards and save as much as $500 per 100 invitations.”
—courtney jentzen, swiss cottage designs, brooklyn
2 “Use a colored outer envelope instead of an envelope liner.
You’ll pay $1 less per invitation, plus it’s a fun surprise in
guests’ mailboxes.” —cheree berry, cheree berry paper, st. louis
3 “If you prefer thick paper stock, use two-ply for the invitation
only and make the insert cards one-ply. You’ll save $275 for ever y
100 invitations.” —erica henriksen, bella figura, syracuse, n.y.
4 “Save $800 by having one insert directing guests to your
wedding Web site instead of multiple cards for events, like the
rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or brunch, and logistics, like
transportation and accommodations.” —erica henriksen
