Wedding Invitation Kits – Cheap and Elegant

Wedding invitation kits known also as DIY (do it yourself) are gaining popularity. For couples needing to really watch their budget, for small, intimate weddings, second weddings, or even for receptions following destination weddings. Wedding invite kits are a viable resource to meet your needs.

Wedding invite kits are available online, at hobby and craft stores, large discount retailers, office supply stores such as Staples and party supply stores. Prices for wedding invitation kits average around $1 per invitation with most kits containing fifty invitations.

The invitation kits you see in the stores are, for the most part, pretty basic. ‘Basic’ translates into white or off-white with silver, black or gold borders or clip art.

Nothing very special, but they will definitely be fine if you’ve not got your heart set on wedding invitations with more pizzazz and flair. On the other hand, DIY invitation kits allow you to lay out several different text options before you actually print your invitations.

If you’re wanting a wedding invitation kit that is more than just ordinary, cheap wedding announcement card kits at amazon offers an amazing array of different styles and designs.

Basic flat invitations, pocket invitation kits, postcard invitation kits, layered invitations, even handmade paper wedding announcement card kits! And what’s more, the price for most is under $1 per invitation.

So after discovering how cost-effective wedding invitation kits are you might wonder why anyone would consider anything else. But nothing is foolproof or perfect so here are a few things to consider before ordering.

1. The cost of the invitation kit isn’t the only cost involved. You will need a quality laser printer to print your invitations with. If you don’t have one, office supply stores will often charge minimally for their services on a project such as this.

2. Wedding announcement card kits will usually include a practice sheet or two, but once they’re done you have no one to blame but yourself if something goes wrong.

3. DIY invitation kits won’t always include the reply cards and envelopes. If you don’t need them it’s not an issue. But if you do, you’ll have added costs to figure in since almost all printed invitations include the reply card and all necessary envelopes.

If you’re really creative, visit the scrap-booking section of your local craft and hobby shop or order embellishments from scrap-booking websites to add to the simpler wedding invitation kit. Personalizing your invitations this way is easier than you might think.

If you aren’t familiar with the world of scrap-booking and the multitude of embellishment options, you’ll discover what we’re talking about when you get started looking at them.

With all the other tasks that go into planning and preparing for your wedding, DIY invitation kits may seem like just one more thing to do. But you can delegate the task to someone else you trust.

Unless you are having a highly formal, black tie affair where the only truly appropriate wedding invitation is a cotton or linen invitation with engraving, DIY wedding invite kits are definitely worth considering.
