What are you printing vs not printing?

We are getting RSVP cards printed

Not even the RSVPs? I've been to 10+ weddings and I have only ever had one couple make me mail back a rsvp card lol.

We are printing all of our wedding stationary. I'm not doing anything online

For us, it wasn't even a budget issue (though online being free is definitely a plus). The customization of online and the ease of communication for notifying guests of updates, setting reminders, including a ton of details made online invites appealing. And our families actually prefer digital because it's so easy for them to re-access information without accidentally losing the invite.

View quoted message I completely agree!

View quoted message Agreed! My personal opinion is that a wedding is such a special occasion and if you can fit paper invitations, etc. in your budget it’s definitely worth it!

Manufacturers offer online resources to help you work through your most troubling printer issues and we've got some basic tips covered right

Sending out the actual invites and then RSVP, menu selection etc. is all online!

We only did evites! Super affordable to get them out instead of printing. A lot of people just end up tossing the invites anyways so to pay that extra money just didn’t seem worth it. We decided to put the extra money elsewhere!!

We didn't do Save the Dates since all our guests were local. We just did online invites and RSVPs online.

Hank, did you send out STD cards or was everything online?

We're the opposite. Surprisingly, every guest of ours, even the elderly, were very active on one form of social media or another so it was very easy to send digital invites even if they don't use email or a computer.

Surprisingly we have quite a few people who don’t have computers. The plan is to send STDs about 6 months prior with our wedding site included to RSVP, and those who don’t have a computer will get a mailed invitation 6 weeks prior to the wedding.

I am always one that promotes these devices. They can do so much stuff, even if you aren't looking to sell anything, the amount of praise I get for gifts and cards I make is amazing! I got mine second hand, so I know for sure I've gotten my moneys worth haha!

That's awesome. I wonder how much vinyl printing one needs to do before they make back their cricut investment hahaha. Seriously tempting to get one now just for other random things.

Oh yeah, if the venue provides menus, absolutely no need to print your own!

Cricut user here, so I utilized that to make alot of stuff for our wedding.

I made my save the dates but we opted for digital invites to save costs.

We aren't doing programs or menus (dinner is buffet), but I have made alot of my signage. Welcome sign, guest book, seating chart, dessert menu, signature drink sign, shared google drive sign, ect.

Because I used my cricut, and mostly removable vinyl, I'll be able to resell all the items I have for signage, ect to another bride (and possible even help them with signage as well with my side hustle haha)

My save the dates and invitations were printed by Vista Print. My signs and guest book all done from the cricut up to my bridesmaid slippers with the iron on. I am so excited to get mine to finish my projects and then start on my seating chart with it and my welcome sign. Then I can officially say I am done.

I printed out the invites & RSVP's but went digital with STD. We also thought it was a bit more personal with the paper invites. Not doing wedding programs, drink or dinner menus. Our venue is providing a full bar as well as the dinner menus per table and I believe that is good enough.

We did printed STD and invites (made with my cricut) with digital RSVPs. we skipped on programs and menus. Only made signs that I thought we needed to have. We also printed some of our engagement photos and put them in frames to use as decor. We let family members take home a photo if they wanted!

That is pretty cool. I just printed sticker labels and slapped them on beer bottles

Technology doesn't have to be a bad thing. I really liked getting photos and the video messages in our guest book. And it allowed us not to have a bottleneck in the reception area where everyone's trying to crowd around the card box to sign the book.

View quoted message Haha it’s not that advanced, I just had the cricut cut everyone’s name out of vinyl and then applied it to the glass candle container

View quoted message

The cricut could cut/engrave candles? Man, everyone on here seems to have a cricut and I feel like I need to get one now lol

My husband and I printed everything.

Had paper invites. My husband and i think its more sentimental that way.
Had an actual guest book for people to write. It's nice to see people's wishes actually written.

We're all too into technology these days.

We did printed invitations, but digital RSVPs and save the dates.
All of our signage I made on my cricut including our table numbers. Even our place cards are playing double duty as wedding favours - they’re personalized candles with the guests name I made on my cricut.

Oh, and we did print table numbers to go into frames instead of buying table ornaments. The little card you see on the table is a QR code that goes to our digital guest book.
