If you're currently planning your wedding, you'll know how tough it can be to stick to a budget, and most couples want to save a bit of money when possible, without settling for things that look cheap.

The average amount that couples spend on wedding stationery is £240, and if you choose a professional designer to personalise your invitations, you could soon find yourself going over this. That's why many couples now choose to use an online personalised design and print service, and here are the simple steps to creating your perfect wedding stationery.

Templates

Even if you don't have design skills, it's simple to personalise your wedding invitations on Putty Print, and there are plenty of looks to choose from. Choose from the many wedding stationery templates on the website, then follow the simple instructions. Using the site you can create:

• • Save the date cards
• • Engagement party invitations
• • Wedding invitations
• • Anniversary party invitations
• • Hen and stag party invitations

There are a great deal of both contemporary and traditional designs to choose from, in colours to suit your theme, and you can coordinate designs once you find the look you want.

Personalisation

It's easy to personalise your invitations on Putty Print. Simply follow the instructions and add your names and wording to the relevant boxes. You'll then see a proof, at which point you can double-check the spelling and details before proceeding.

Choose options

As you'll see on the checkout page, the more invitations you order, the cheaper they work out per invite, and prices are reasonable when compared to buying bespoke party invitations. The invites are supplied with envelopes, and are delivered for free, cutting down on the overall cost.

Quick turnaround

If you use an offline service to design and print your invitations, you could end up waiting weeks for the final product to be delivered. With Putty Print, you can choose next day courier or even weekend delivery. The sooner you get invitations out, the easier the planning process will be, and it gives people time to send back their RSVPs.

Some people are put off doing DIY invitations, as they may lack artistic skills, or not have the equipment to print them to a high standard. By personalising them online, you get the best of both worlds: you save money, but still enjoy a professional product, ensuring your guests receive an invite that'll get them excited for the big day.
