Free Invitations
-
Certain online services, such as Evite, offer free electronic invitations that are emailed to your guests. Alternatively, you can design your own invitations and email them to your friends. The only thing it will cost you is time.
Inexpensive Invitations
-
A cost-effective alternative to having invitations made for you is to make them yourself. Just as with free invitations, you'll have to design your own notices. However, instead of emailing them, print out copies and mail them to your friends. You will have to pay for paper, ink, envelopes and postage. Overall, your cost should be around $1 per invitation.
-
Printing Invitations
-
A more professional option for slightly more formal affairs is to have invitations printed for the event. This can be more cost-effective than it sounds, as online printers have lowered prices and offer deals, such as 50 invitations for around $20 (as of August 2010), with certain extra costs. These printers offer different colors, fonts and graphic design, which should result in a fancier invitation.
Artist's Invitations
-
Invitations made by an artist can be extremely beautiful, using rare materials and acting as a keepsake for all of your guests. However, they don't come cheap. Sample invitations on Etsy, for example, cost around $800 for 100 invitations (as of August 2010). Nevertheless, these invitations are hand-crafted and offer a memorable way to introduce your fanciest events (like weddings or baptisms) to your guests.
