It may seem impossible, but affordable traditional wedding invitations do exist. For cheap traditional wedding invitations we recommend sticking to digital printing and avoiding novelty paper types like vellum or color stock. Another way to keep costs down is to limit the cards in your collection to three or below. For example, you can eliminate the information card by simply referring guests to a wedding website containing all necessary details.

If you’re stumped for traditional wording for wedding invitations, never fear! We’ve got you covered. Traditional wedding invitations wording is usually formal and includes parents’ names first, as the hosts. You can choose to put the bride’s name first as custom prescribes or go in alphabetical order. Wedding invitations traditional with wording usually write the date out in full and leave the details (like RSVP, accommodation and registry information) to other supplementary cards placed in the envelope. However, wording for traditional wedding invitations doesn’t have to sound stilted. You can make subtle wording changes here and there to slip in a more modern word if the original doesn’t seem natural to you. It’s all up to you and there’s no reason why you can’t select a traditional design and change the wording to be completely quirky and modern!
