If you want to save money on something in your weddingbudget then why not save on invitations? In today´s world with the internet it makes no real sense to still go with the paper version in the regular mail. Me and my husband texted, e-mailed or sent facebook messages as invitations to all our guests. This way you can make each guest a personal invitation.
