There are alot of FH's friends (the kind that 'haven't matured yet' ) that will definitely not make it to our wedding (they live in FL). I was thinking...can I splurge on really awesome invitations for the majority of our guestlist and get budget (cheap) invitations for the silly boys who don't care about weddings? Or am I just being cheap by wanting to do this?
If I'm being cheap let me know, I need to be put in my place lol

Re: Effective Cost Cutting...or Is This Being Cheap??
Considering that they sound like some of my FH's friends (who complained about another friend's wedding invite, saying it was 'as big as a hamburger')...I'd say get them cheapy ones from Michael's. They're not going to care either way, and it's not like they'll be oooh-ing and aaah-ing over the invites with other guests, should they actually attend the wedding.

How many friends are we talking about? The reason I ask is because if it's under 20 then I think its a waste of money to buy them dif invites.

I think its a good idea and they'll never know they got the cheap ones.

I say go for it. If they're babies, they won't care anyway. not cheap at all, but i'd say get something similar.

Depends on how much you are saving. If it's a decent amount of money-- go for it. They'll never know the difference,. If it's a small amount...it's probably not worth your time

i think if its about 20 invites or so then do it, if its like 5 or 10 then just do regular invites.

Go for it. I have to send out over 200 invites and I have alot of family who just don't care, but i have to send anyway so they are getting cheap one. That way when family talks they will say they have one.

i don't think its worth it for so few invites. your not going to be able to find a package that small & then its going to take up your time & printer ink to make them. it could end up costing more in the end.

agreed-- you're not going to reduce the amount of the nicer invites. usually they are ordered in groups of 25-50

I'm doing the same for FH's friends who could care less in the get an actual invitation. I bought DIY invites and I plan to give them those instead of my very expensive girly invitations that they will just lose.
