Use the Letterpress on the main invitation only
DO you love the look of letterpress on your wedding invitations, but can't afford its price? You can choose the letterpress for the main invitation but go for a less expensive flat printed design for the insert cards. Bringing these small changes can save you $500 on one hundred invitations.
Do not use an envelope liner
Another way to save money on the invitation cards is to skip the envelope liner. You can make use of a colorful outer envelope in place of the more expensive envelope liner, and that could save you a dollar each on one invitation card. These colorful inserts also add a fun,quirky element and make for a great surprise in your guests’ mailbox.

Replace Reply Cards with RSVP Postcards
You can replace the traditionally used reply cards with RSVP Postcards. The reply cards require their own extra envelope and stamp, while the RSVP Postcards can help you cut costs with both printing and postage. This is because postcard stamps are cheaper than stamps you would use for a reply card, that require first-class mail stamps. They are also a source of adding a fun, unique element to your invitation suite.
Cut down on your printing fees by ordering all prints at once:
You can slash down costs on printing by getting all additional cards, like the wedding ceremony program, and dinner menus at the same time as when you are getting your wedding cards published. This way you are taking care of all your printed needs at once and will also help minimize all printing costs.

Do your own envelope addressing and assembling:
If you employ the services of a stationer for addressing envelopes, assembly and mailing, you could be paying them upto $8 for each invitation. But this is a task you can simply do yourself. Assembling and addressing your invitations add a personal touch, and you could make use of your great penmanship skills to make memorable wedding invitations.
