I'm surprised that he didn't find another solution to the cost of sending ~ 140 (70*2) invites for ~ £380 ($480), or $3.50 per invite. The profit margins people make on those invite cards is huge.
My personal hack that I use for invitations/thank you notes/christmas cards/etc. is this:
You can just create them yourself (any design! copy one off the internet!) in Photoshop/Gimp/Illustrator/PowerPoint/whatever. I won't judge (except if it's PowerPoint).
Then have them printed as 4x6 (or whatever) photos for $0.09 each. With envelopes at $0.03 each and postage at $0.49 you're up to $0.61 per invite, or $85 rather than $480 in OPs case.
- paulcole 10y agoDon't most wedding invitations include a return envelope and stamp?
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoIDK about the US. Where I'm from, we don't send a separate "save the date" card, usually the physical invitation gets sent > 6 months in advance and has a link to a website (e.g. maryandjohn2017.wordpress.com) that has up-to-date info, maps etc., and we list one phone number each for the bride and groom (either directly to them or to one of their parents) that people use to RSVP.
- wccrawford 10y agoOurs included the invitation card, an outer envelope for everything inside, an info card with various info on it (website to RSVP at, hotel info), an RSVP card, and an envelope for the RSVP card. I'm 99% sure we attached stamps to the inner envelope, too. We bought the envelopes, but made the cards ourselves to make them more personal and cheaper. (We had a paper cutter and made detailed cutouts in the invite.)
