Things You'll Need

Instructions

1. 

   If you prefer hand-written physical invitations, you can buy blank invitations at Target or Wal-Mart. But if you want to go cheap, the Dollar Store will do just fine. Then fill-in your invitation with the vital information such as occasion, date/time, place. On occasion you can find event-specific invitations on clearance in stores so keep your eyes open.

2. 

   If you would prefer a faster route, look towards your computer to print out a template. Whether you go into Microsoft Word and select a border and type in the vital information, or you use PaintShop, PhotoShop, or even a Greeting Cards software, you can print off your invitations, address envelopes, and mail them out.

3. 

   The more popular choice these days is sending an eCard. Some people might think this is impersonal, but if you are running low on time and money, this is your best bet. EGreetings.com is one of the most popular sites out there- and probably because it is free to send. Ecards.com is another great website and finally www.123greetings.com. On these websites, you can pick an already designed card or create your own, type in the information, and email to all of your guests.
