When it comes to saving money on your wedding invitations, there are very simple options available that will save you hundreds of dollars in costs.

To start, you need to spend some time researching the different options from local stationary stores, as well as investigating online wedding shops where you can purchase invitations from wholesalers at cost.

Another great option is to simply create them yourself, with online websites featuring downloadable templates that you can type in and print out, including envelopes and pre-printed labels.

While engraved wedding invitations are absolutely stunning, they will take a lot from your budget, unnecessarily. Invitations are often thrown in the trash after the guest RSVP’s, remember, and so it doesn’t make a lot of sense to spend a large portion of your budget on them.

Get creative! If you are a crafty person, you could purchase scrapbook elements from your local craft store and offer hand-created, personalized scrapbook style invitations.

This is a great way to show your creative side while injecting your own personality and style, plus you’ll save a ton of money in the process.

You should also stick with standard size invitations, to save on postage costs and rather than include a return envelope with a stamp, set up a free email account exclusively for people to respond to, indicating whether they can attend or not.

This is an easy to save a couple of hundred dollars on postage costs while staying organized with a guest list that you can manage directly in your email.

Okay I’m not a fan of this strategy in MOST cases but I’m going to share it with you anyway because it IS viable and I HAVE used it before with much success. I’m just not a fan of the way the big launches have become a total tug of war lately.

You know what I’m talking about? The high dollar launches with huge bonuses that make you really confused about who to buy from. Do you want a 7 week phone interview with guru A or a complete website set-up with training by guru B?

I guess I don’t mind the strategy itself – I’m just tired of seeing it on every big launch. I’d like to see a cash back bonus LOL – Wouldn’t that be nice? I love seeing gurus who say their bonus is worth “$1,997” – okay, so how about Fedexing me a cashier’s check back for that amount if I buy through your link?

Not gonna happen.

But back to the strategy. I once promoted a product as a review because a guy contacted me and let me see a copy of his product. It was good, but it lacked my own point of view. So I created a simple, 4-page bonus report that covered what his product didn’t share.

It had an introduction into the report’s purpose and then it gave three samples with commentary below each one. That was it. Nothing shiny and expensive. Just letting my customers know I had their backs – I was watching out to ensure they got a compete product. Here’s what not to do.

Don’t tell them you have a bonus for those who buy through your link and then give the bonus away to your list for free.

Don’t gather 25 PLR bonuses just to say you have a bonus. I once helped a big guru turn a failing site around because I told him the problem – he had an “okay eBook” with 25 PLR bonuses.

I spiffed up his product and wrote three 5-page ORIGINAL bonus reports to go with it. His sales soared and his refunds became virtually non-existent.
