Orange quote that "Companies such as the The Handcrafted Card Company sell cards, envelopes and everything you need to make luxury hand-crafted cards, from heart-shaped stickers to bows and ribbon."
Orange refer to an article by AA Savings who highlight that making your own wedding stationery is the favourite way in which couples are cutting costs. The original survey carried out by weddingplan shows that half of couples plan to spend less on their wedding than they would like to due to the economic downturn. Orange quote that "Some 45% of couples had made, or planned to make, their own invitations, while 40% are giving the personal touch to thank you cards."
The Orange website identifies other ways of saving money on weddings including:
- Wedding Dresses
- Host the wedding venue yourself
- Buffet style wedding breakfast
- Rope in family and friends
