If you are fairly crafty, ask if your stationery package could be discounted if you do some of the assembly. This can be a good way to incorporate a little bit of a DIY project, without having to create the invitations all on your own (because it really is not as easy as we designers make it look!). Not all designers allow this, and at Tulaloo we only offer it with certain aspects of specific designs. But if you are trying to keep costs down, it doesn’t hurt to ask.

Order coordinating stationery pieces. I know – it sounds strange, right? Save money by ordering more stuff? But by having coordinating elements throughout your wedding celebration you create a really sophisticated, cohesive look for the day. In the grand scheme of wedding things, stationery is one of the more affordable elements, and can do double duty as reception decor as well. Beautifully designed menus, table numbers, favors and placecards add color and style to reception tables, and allow you to choose more conservative centerpieces. Sometimes you can even replace centerpieces with artfully arranged favors instead!
