We bought our invitations at Michaels with coupons for 1/2 off... so 120 invitations for only $89 (Including tax) We bought stamps a few years ago when they were cheaper... We handed out some of our save the dates at Christmas to close family and friends. We are skipping... The fancy car. The expensive honeymoon. The huge centerpieces. The favors. The escort cards. (instead we're making a seating board on card stock on a big board covered with fabric) The huge cake. (We're doing a smaller cake and sheet cakes) & we cut down on the bar - so it will begin beer and wine after dinner, rather than all night. :) We made 150 save the dates for less than 30 cents per.

We're also going on an inexpensive honeymoon. The reception is at my parents' house, so we're skipping the venue rental fee as well.

They're bags or baskets of goodies for your out-of-town guests, usually dropped off to their hotel rooms. AL: OOT bags are Out Of Town bags.
