Money Saving Tip #142: Don't Mail Invitations

When it comes time to host a party or get-together, don't mail the invitations through the postal service. The cost of the invitation plus the stamp for each one can be quite costly. Opt for the internet, email, social networking, text messages, and phone calls to get the word out. There are even websites out there to send an electronic invitation such as evite.com.

When my husband and I were planning our wedding, we invited people to our event through email. We got married in a small ceremony in a family member's backyard. Purchasing invitations and stamps to send the message out was a cost that was unnecessary.
