7. Beware your invitation cost: This really isn't a savings tip, but a way to make it feel like you are saving. You may think that stamps are cheap, only $.44 each. Multiply that by how every many stamps you are sending out and reply cards you want to get back and if you are doing save the dates, gotta add that as well. Yea stamps can add up. My tip is to start buying some before you actually need them. A book at a time. then you won't have to shell out tons of money all in one day. Also, try using post cards instead of a card in an envelope for RSVP reply cards. It will save you from buying another set of envelopes and post card stamps are only like $.29. That's almost half off (thanks Ray). Also, if you are having somebody else do your invitations, make sure they are the correct size for a $.44 stamp. If you are making them yourself, take a draft to the post office before you finalize and have them weigh it to make sure you are good.
8. Follow the Sales: Lots of people forget about how after the holiday sales can help them for a wedding. Especially things like Christmas, Valentines Day and even Easter. If you are having a Christmas wedding or even your theme has red, green or white in it, the Christmas before you wedding, you should go crazy at the dollar stores or discount stores with all their leftover product. Be picky though. Just because its there doesn't mean you have to take it. If you don't like it, move on to another store. Candy: me personally, I want a candy buffet. I'm gonna hit up the after Valentine's Day sales for all the heart candy I can stuff into a bag. If I can find silver wrapped one's, I will be even more happy. If your colors are pastel, Easter candy could be your thing. Don't forget about all the thank you letters or gifts you will have to give to people. Collect some sale bags at Christmas or Valentines Day. The hearts would be cute for your brides maids and you may find some blank cards or envelopes on sale. Think ahead. You can really benefit on these sales.
Have a wonderful day every. Smile its Friday. Save those pennies.
