Save the date/invite cost?

We decided to skip STD as the vast majority of our guests are local and we verbally told everyone who is closest to us (friends/family).

We did use Invitationsbydawn for our invites- we ordered 250 and it came out to about $1.50 or a little less per invite. I hated spending money on invitations because I feel people throw them out pretty quickly. We got a good deal, but there are also tons of places that offer sales throughout the year.

I am doing everything on Vistaprint but waiting until the Cyber Monday sales (50-60% off). I found that they are the cheapest option of all the online retailers.

You can also purchase the template on Etsy and then print them with Vistaprint.

It cost $167 for our save the dates and about $45 for postage.

I spent $50 on 45 STD through Staples. FH created them. We spent $200 on invites for the same number through wpd/ Shutterfly.

We spent $100 on $100 magnet save the dates (included the cost of stamps & custom envelope seals) on VistaPrint. I ordered too many though and have like 10-15 left over. I am also going to do invites on VistaPrint, but we are waiting for either black friday or cyber monday!

Mine cost $0 because I designed them myself and printed them with my company.

I would try to take advantage of sales. Shutterfly (Wedding Paper Divas), almst almost always has a 40% off sale going on.

I spent $124 on 100 STDs. Haven't decided on invites yet. I am assuming it will be slightly more with inserts.
