How To Save Money on Calligraphy for Your Wedding Invitations

Organizing and planning a wedding can be a very stressful activity for both the mind and the wallet. Yes, a wedding, in all its detail, can really be quite expensive. You will have to contend with the food, flowers, music, location, and invitations that can all in all set you back quite a bit. However, there are tips and tricks that you can employ to cut the costs from each minute detail. If you take it all in individually, it may seem quite silly, but if you add all the savings up together, you will find out that the money saved is substantial. To start out your wedding cost reduction strategies, start with the very small detail of calligraphy on your wedding invitations.

Consider creating your own invites. Invitations can be one of the most expensive aspects of any wedding. The invitation is sent to your guests and must exude the whole image and theme that you want the wedding to display. Now, great wedding invitations are expensive to produce. You will traditionally go to a professional printer and they will provide you a couple of samples to choose from. The process will entail them providing you samples of calligraphy and you choose the one suited to your theme. Next, you they will ask you the color and design of your invites. Once the invite is finalized, they will print all the invites based on your specifications and charging you per piece or per bulk. Since the process is professional, you should expect high prices for the service. To save up on the whole thing, one way is to create the invites yourself.

Create a sample invite. There are two ways to make the sample invitation. The first is by hand which will require some calligraphy skill and tools. Get some pieces of card stock and a calligraphy pen with a wide nib. Set and hold the pen at a 45 degree handle with your palm resting on the paper. Hold the pen tight and start practicing. If the angle is correct, you will be able to write the letters with a variety of wide and narrow detail. Do not turn or rotate the pen to avoid losing the 45 degree angle. The angle is very important. Keep practicing and get some font and italic samples to guide you through each letter. Once the sample is done, inspect it and see if it is acceptable. At this point, you will have probably gone through a lot of paper but don't worry you will eventually get the hang of it.

The second way to create your invite is by making one with your computer. Search the Internet for ready-made templates. Download them and open them with the appropriate word processing program. Edit the fonts and designs and save it. Print a hard copy to see how it looks. If the sample is good, save the file since you will want to bring it to a printer.

Print the invitations. Whether you opted for invitations by hand or through digital means, go to your local printer and give them the sample invite. Ask them for the rate of mass printing the sample. Remember that the more colors in the design will be more expensive. If you want to save money, go with one or two colors. Make sure to canvas all the printers in your area for the best price.

Once you have the invitations printed, you will notice that the original rate of having someone design your invitation has significantly lessened. In fact, the only real cost you will have to endure is the actual printing of the invites. If you want to save more money, you can do the printing yourself as well but that is a whole other story.
