You want a great wedding invitation, but you don't want to have to sell your belongings on eBay to afford it. Unfortunately, cheap wedding invitations can look like you didn't spend a dime. This guide will help you learn how you can have cheap invitations that look far more expensive than they were. Here's how to use printable invites to get an awesome look for little money: 1. Paper - Stationery for cheap wedding invitations is easy to get. Local craft shops offer many different options, usually in the scrapbooking section. If you can't find what you are after locally, check out craft and scapbooking stores online. Online invitation specialists often offer paper at prices that won't leave you dizzy. Printable wedding invites can be done on craft paper of any weight, style, or texture to suit your wedding theme. 2. Design - Cheap wedding invitations can be as simple as printing the who, what, when, and where on a piece of cardstock. Another way to create checkbook-friendly printable invitations is to add a photo or image to your invite. Even basic computer software will allow you to easily incorporate a special image. If you're not sure how to do it, search for tips and tutorials online. Even if you're not computer-savvy, with a little effort you can easily create invites that look like they were professionally designed. 3. Layer - Another way to create wedding invites that only look expensive is by adding layers to your printable invitations. Start by printing the text on a lightweight paper. Use craft glue to attach the printed paper onto a slightly larger and heavier piece of paper in a coordinating color. The result is a framed and layered look that looks more costly than it is. 4. Embellish - It's easy to add bling to your printable wedding invitations with charms and gems. Whether it's a seashell charm for your beach ceremony or red and green holly for your Christmas wedding, it's easy to find the ideal embellishment. These items are easy to attach with craft glue, meaning that even the most craft-shy bride can create unique printable invites. You could shop at a local or online craft store, but you can also find dizzying selections and great deals using an online invitation specialist. Are there any disadvantages to creating your own printable wedding invitations? Yes. There's no question that cheap wedding invitations are easy on your pocketbook. They can be, however, time-consuming--especially if you're designing a particularly elaborate invite. If possible, gather friends, family, or perhaps bridesmaids to form an assembly line that'll seriously reduce crafting and assembly time. Remember, too, to set a budget before you start designing and shopping for supplies. It's easy to get carried away while you're designing an elaborate homemade invite or while roaming aisles full of adorable charms and gems. Keep your cheap wedding invites cheap by setting--and keeping--a budget. With a little planning, it's easier than ever to make cheap invitations look like a million bucks.
