How to save money on your Wedding Stationery

Use a wedding website 

A wedding website is a great way to cut costs on your stationery. They can be used for everything from your menu and accommodation information to RSVPs, song requests and much more! There are plenty of easy-to-use options out there including Hitched and The Knot, both of which are free to use. 

You can have the best of both worlds with printed stationery and a wedding website – simply generate a QR code that you can print on your Invitations and Save the Dates! Again, there are lots of free options out there for this, including Canva’s free QR code generator.

Order smart 

When you order with us at Printed.com, the higher your order quantity, the better the value! It’s always a good idea to order a few more than you think you’ll need, and having spares is better than having to make a second smaller order that will drive up your costs. 

Hand deliver 

Where possible, hand deliver Save the Dates and Invitations to your guests to save on postage costs – you’d be surprised how quickly it adds up! 

Save on design

Design is an easy area for keeping costs down. There are plenty of templates out there to help you design your stationery in just a few clicks! Check out low-cost, downloadable templates on sites like Etsy, or free options on Canva. If you’ve found a wedding stationer whose designs you love, it’s worth checking if they have any downloadable templates to buy. They are cheaper than paying for a bespoke design while still getting the style you want. 

If you find a design you love on Etsy, our guide to printing Etsy downloads makes it a breeze to bring it to life!
