Ask Carley: Saving on invitations
By CARLEY RONEY
Q. I'm not big on DIY, but I need to cut a few corners. Any suggestions for ways to save on our invites?
A. Even if you're not the craftiest bride, there are some DIY projects that are super-simple. To make it easy, ask your bridal party to come over and help you out. When it comes to invites, print them on your home computer using high-quality stock from a local art store or mid-level stationery boutique. You'll save tons on the costly engraving and printing fees. Or consider buying pre-cut, printable invites from stores like Target. They come with step-by-step directions and don't require you to be a DIY genius to put together.
