Save the Dates and some money

Technically speaking you could get it completely free by getting a free online template and just printing it out yourself on your own paper and printer. But if you’re looking for more affordable options I hear really good things about ann bridals bargains

View Quoted Comment I thought about doing that! But also I’ll look into the other thank you!

Vistaprint, Zazzle, Etsy, etc

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

View Quoted Comment Yeah I made my own invitations by using templates off of a site called greetings island that has free templates and gives you a PDF of it and then I just Had card stock and printed on my own printer And then bought envelopes off amazon

View Quoted Comment I’m thinking I may go this route!! Thank you

I’m currently using minted. I’m doing save the date magnets and I received my samples in the mail and I really like them. They also will do printed envelopes which is super convenient. You can use the same template for your invitations as well.Depending on the add-ons you get, they are always offering 25% off deals. I also kept factoring in the amount of people that I had at my wedding instead of the houses I’d be sending the save the dates too. I initially forgot that even though I have a 90 person wedding I will only be sending about half of that amount out. So in my opinion, under $150 bucks for around 55 save the date magnets wasn’t too bad.

View Quoted Comment Awesome I’ll check them out we were looking into magnets as well!

We got our save the dates from VistaPrint and our invitations from The American Wedding. Our invitations were on the more expensive side because I wanted rather fancy ones, but our save the dates were an excellent price. I highly recommend VistaPrint. The quality was amazing, they always seem to have sales, and they arrived very quickly. We created our own design then uploaded it to VistaPrint.

I got my Save The Dates (wooden magnets) from Etsy for around $0.70 each and free shipping. There were plenty of other Save The Date options too, with pictures, cards, etc. Our invitations were also from Etsy, around $1.50 each for a set of three cards (main invitation card, details card, and RSVP card). Zazzle also has Save The Date and invitation options, they sometimes have sales too.

We used Magnetstreet! They had the option for STD in cards, magnets, and postcards. We did postcards and got 75 of them for $40 and we got lucky that it was also a free shipping weekend when we ordered them. I just checked and the same STDs we got as postcards is about $45 for 75 cards and $68 for 75 magnets.

I used zazzle for both , pretty good pricing.

We’re using Etsy! It ended up being cheaper than Zazzle, Minted, or Shutterfly.

We did custom postcards from zazzle
We paid with postage about $50

We did shutterfly for our save the date magnets and spent about $120 and our invitations are from Basic Invite and we got the invitations, addressed envelopes, RSVP cards, and RSVP envelopes for about $220

I am totally doing this! Thanks for the idea!

We used Minted for our save the dates and we were very pleased with the quality as well as the price

This might sound a little silly but we actually used Walgreens. I found a coupon which helped in making the overall cost very inexpensive and they came with envelopes. I originally wanted to do magnets but with how many we had to purchase I couldn’t justify spending that much on just save the dates.
