I'm one of those people that usually open the invitation and then forget it at home when I'm on my way to the wedding. Therefore, I was not willing to spend a lot of money for my invitations. I found the perfect pocket invitation set to match my theme and I used Michael's, Joanne Fabric's, and AC Moore coupons to buy everything. I bought my invitations, thank you cards, and wedding programs for probably a quarter of the cost I would have spent if I ordered them. The con's were that I had to print them at home which took some time (but I have a very good printer), and the wedding programs were not as user friendly as the invitations were (but I still got them done). I had many people tell me they thought I had them professionally done and I was very happy with them. I used # 78447 for my invitations and #75777 for my programs. Best way to go in my opinion if you're looking for ways to cut costs.
