March Deals - Invitations

(Photo credit: The Oaks Waterfront Inn)

Your invitations set the tone for your wedding. It tells your guests about the experience you are going to offer them and it tells them what is expected of them as well. Is it a family friendly gathering? Bash of the century? Black tie affair? RSVP-by date etc. All of that and more can be discerned from your invitations.

Needless to say your invitations are a pretty big deal. Unfortunately the vendors know it and charge us accordingly. Just because something is a significant portion of your wedding planning, it doesn't have to break the bank. Below I will highlight some of the biggest, most popular vendors and their best deals.

Invitation Consultants 
They are offering free shipping on all order over $99. Ground shipping via USPS is $9 with an estimated shipping time between 1-6 days. It could be as high as $50 for overnight shipping. But if you plan ahead this should not even be a necessary option. However, unless you're having less than 50 people at your wedding, odds are, you will definitely be spending more than $99 on invitation, so most people will qualify for this. If you live in the Tampa FL, area you can pick it up free anytime. Sorry Florida brides, you won't benefit much from this one.

Savings: $9 (there are no discounts on the other shipping options regardless of how much you spend)
Expires: No stated expiration date

Vistaprint
Promo code VPTOPDEALS will give you approximately 25% off. They also have something called "Vistaprint Cash" where you earn a $10 credit for every $40 you spend. There is a limit of $30 credit per period. You can combine it with other offers.

They also have a 40% off going on but that is only for marketing materials and the code will not work for wedding stationary.

Savings: 25% off
Expires: There is no stated expiration date for this deal but the marketing deal ends on 3/3/15 so I would not delay

additional savings
Vistaprint Cash: up to $30
Expires: earn through 3/23/15 and redeem between 3/25/15 and 4/8/15

Wedding Paper Divas
Using the code WED25MAR will get you the following discounts:
15% off $99+ | 20% off $199+ | 25% off $299+.
The more you spend the more you save!

Savings: up to 25%

What I used and why:
Magnet Street
When I was ordering my invitations in February, they had a tiered deal. I had the highest discount: $150 off any order of $500 or more. That's a discount of up to 30%. 

Do you have a deal we don't know about? We'd love to hear from you. Better yet, why don't you tell us if any of these worked to save you money.
