Cheap Wedding Invitations - Advice on Finding the Best Cheap Invitations for your Wedding

Blank wedding invitations for your upcoming nuptials can be hard go find if you are going for elegance and beauty. I found that sometimes cheap means also sacrificing the quality.

Invitations that are purchased over the internet can be misleading. You need to be choosy. Images of invitations on a website can be very misleading. Many times an invitation that looks great in a picture is not really what you had in mind for discount wedding invitations.

I will touch on a few specifics to watch for when choosing the right cheap invitations and discount wedding invitations. Hopefully I will be able to help you in purchasing beautiful but cheap invitations that you can be proud to send out to your wedding guests.

Card Stock or Paper weight
Cheap wedding invitations usually are not the cards made with a thick card stock. A lot of times a discount invitation is a very low paper stock that is almost similar to typing paper. Be sure to ask about the the company from where you are purchasing what the card stock weight is. If they tell you it is a light weight card stock I would ask for a sample . If they say it is a paper weight for the discount invitations I would stay away from that style of invitation. If you are unsure ask them to send you a free wedding invitation sample.

Flat printing verses Thermography printing for invitations
If you do not know the differences between these printing styles. Thermography printing is when the ink is raised due to a process of heating the ink while the invitation is being printed. Thermography is a more expensive way to print wedding invitations verses flat printing. One site that I found that has cheap invitations that are flat printed is http://www.yourwebsource.com/discount.htm . These invitations are very colorful and are printed on a good quality card stock. They are considered casual cheap wedding invitations. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality of stationary that you are getting is very nice. I have chosen two ensembles that I think are worth the money. We say I Do and Special Toast are cheap wedding invitations that cost $71.50 for 100. The discount does not show up until you have them in your shopping cart on the website so don't be afraid when you see the pricing on the invitation details page. This website does let a bride order a sample invitation for a couple of dollars. I called the company and they sent me a free wedding invitation sample.

This website also has formal cheap wedding invitations that are inexpensive invitations. These formal invitations do not have the fancy pearl embossing that the more costly cardstock does but they are very pretty. Dress them up a little by having colored ink instead of black. There is a petite white folder that is only $45 for 100 invitations. Another invitation that is a little more expensive, $65 for 100 is called Trailing Maple Leaves. This invitation has pretty little maple leaves as a border decorating the event wording.

Remember you do not have to sacrifice quality when purchasing cheap wedding invitations. With a little of research on the internet you will be able to find a very nice wedding invitation that you can be proud to send to your guests for your upcoming nuptials.
