Invitations vs e-vite

View quoted message

That seem very expensive. i think i will try to have my sister make it and print my own at home.

View quoted message This is my plan, too! Especially as most of my invites will be going to the UK and postage is going to add up 😬

Oh really, what is the other website that you are using?

View quoted message

This is what am thinking of doing. But right now I am on a standstill because of all the uncertainty. but once we have a better idea on this pandemic (hopefully by March the latest) I will def do the save the dates with the link to our website

View quoted message

It all depends on the style. I would say budget $300-450

How much do invitation cost? does price also include design?

View quoted message

No, I'm using another website service. Wasn't a fan of the weddingwire layout and page options.

A suggestion, paper announcement or save the date postcards like Christmas cards. They only cost us $115 shipped to us plus stamps.
It then directs folks to the website and you can start RSVPs that way. Kind of a balance point.
Just doing paper invites is well over $600

This is exactly what i been thinking as well. A great idea

View quoted message

So I started the website on here, but didn't do anything as of yet, may work on it this month. Did you do your website on Wedding wire as well?

View quoted message

Evites is def a good way to save a couple hundred dollars. I can put towards my dress or something else

I agree with I love real mail for something physical to open more then a bill lol. Yea I have to decide which is best and decide soon

We plan on using e-vites to be more ecofriendly. I know some people like to save invitations, which is kind of a bummer but I want to use less paper. And it is great to save some $$!

I'm doing paper invites from vistaprint. They have so many 50% off sales. I'll also get my stamps from Costco or I think the post office gives you a deal if you buy a bulk of stamps... Invites would not work for about half of my guest list. Besides I love getting mail. Real mail that isn't a bill or junk. I love paper invites for that. Makes me excited for the wedding.

We haven't sent them yet but we collected the emails of all our intended guests and put them into our wedding website, which will generate an invite that will go into their inbox. The invite will link them back to the site to RSVP, choose meal options, get details on the wedding, etc.

View quoted message Hi Hank
How did you do the e-invites?

View quoted message I saw the ones at Michael's it is not really for my vision..i have a few websites i am looking at. I may even try vistaprint if I go the route of paper

View quoted message Reasonable price is difficult.

View quoted message I like what you said about know your crowd . Something to keep in mind.

View quoted message I may do the same for save the date magnets with our engagement photos. DIY is no longer me lol. I own a Circuit machine as well bc I was a big time scrapbooker. Have fund making your invites they will turn out lovely am sure

I plan on using my engagement shoot photos for a printed save the date. I have invested in a cricut machine to make my paper invitations. I enjoy the DIY aspect and they will be exactly the way I want them to look (me and my type A personality). I just think they will make a beautiful keepsake as I plan to make a shadow box after the wedding.

I am still a ways out from making my invites, but I think I will most likely either be using a template or designing my own. But we have a very rustic-themed wedding , so I will be making lace-look and kraft paper invitations. So plain graphics/text is all I will need to go with the simpler design.

As to the digital question, that's kind of a know your crowd thing. I know that wouldn't go over well with a lot of my family, especially the older and more sentimental ones

Initiations can be so crazy expensive!! I want to do paper because we have quite a few older people who aren't tech savvy but I am struggling to find reasonably priced options!

Oh of course 100% you defiantly want to make the right choice with no regrets

Good evening! I was wondering the same about invitations, but I find that sending invitations looks charming. On a whim I decided to go to Micheals and found 3 invitation boxes (30 invitations each) for $ 19.99. I advise you to go to the sale section. If that helps, I even bought ribbons and a seal with the invitations. The total did not exceed $160.

View quoted message I think our plan if we do printed invites is that the RSVP would be done on our website. Since it’s free to make one. That way it’s only postage one way and the rsvp is straight to my inbox

View quoted message

Very true

View quoted message

Yes this is how i see it. It is truly a tug a war with my FH lol. In the end I usually have the final say but it is a discussion between us and I want to make the right one with no regrets

View quoted message I think during these unprecedented times, most people will be understanding.

Question: Do you think guest will frown upon a bride and groom if they do receive a wedding invitation via email?

View quoted message

Thank you. I think i would need about 70 to 80 and if I do end up doing paper invites yes i will have to keep postage in mind
