Stationary for only $150.00? Yup!!

Save the Date’s, Invitations, Rsvp Card’s, Envelopes, Stamps, Menu’s, Place Cards, Escort Cards, Programs, labels of any sort,  and more all fall under the Stationary category. Wedding’s these days range from $5,000-$100,000! This blog post is for the couples who have $10,000 or less to spend or just want to cut cost on stationary.

Here is a real life wedding of a stationary budget of $150.00 for save-the-dates, pocket fold invitations w rsvp card & envelopes, stamps, programs, menu cards, escort cards, and table names for 75 guests!

To begin we ordered ALL of the card stock from www.cardsandpockets.com for $88.33!! The order came with pocket fold invites and the paper for three inserts, plus the envelopes. It also came with 25 sheets of terra cotta color paper and 25 sheets of chocolate brown color paper. We purchased a paper cutter for $11.00(Wal-mart) and together the Bride & I typed, printed, cut and assembled 45 invitations. 

 

With the rest of the card stock the bride, groom & I created: 45 save-the Dates, 10 table names, 75 folded programs with ribbon, and 68 escort card labels. We also purchased a glue gun-$2.50(Michael’s), stamps-$20.00(Corner Store), fall leaves-$2.00(Dollar Store), Colorful pens-$6.00(Staples), computer paper- $2.50(Wal-mart), ribbon-$8.00(Michael’s), hot glue gun-$ -$5.00(Michael’s), hot glue gun sticks(100 pack)-$2.50(Michael’s).                   

Total Stationary costs: $148.30!

       

  Creating stationary on a budget can be fun and easy. You have to be creative and have a plan as to what you want to do! For the invitations we saved on stamps, because we hand delivered the ones that were within a 5 mile radius.  We also included the Thank you cards as one of the invitation inserts. We put our heads together and ended up maximizing our card stock and creating amazingly beautiful stationary items that went great with the couple’s wedding!  To see how it all turned out, I included the Inspiration Board below!
