Saving Money on Wedding Invatations
As my fiancĂ©e and I are not exactly loaded with money, we have been looking for ways to save on the wedding. The other night I had a great idea for mailing out our invitations. Instead of putting the recipients address in the regular area, I thought we could just put it in the return address area instead, moving our address from the return field to the recipients field. Once that is done, drop it in a mailbox some where without a stamp on it (preferably not your own). Then when the mail man gets it he “returns” it to the “recipient” because they did not use the proper postage when mailing the invitation.
For some reason this idea which would save us over $40.00 in postage was shot down as ‘crass.’

That is a freaking awesome idea! Not crass…just frugal…

That is an old trick, I personally never did it. So what does this say about your world view? hehehe, Joking. Make sure you do not put them all in the same box. If you think about it, God provides us the means for everything, being wise is one thing, and attempting to cheat the system is quite another.

You know, I have actually seen that done. Not to encourage you. Hate to see you start the marriage paying fines for mail fraud.
