Date Cards
Save the date cards for the wedding?
My fiance and I set our date last week. We want to send out save the date cards instead of just doing regular invitations. How/where do you go for those? Do most people make their own or do you hire someone to do it? We want to keep it pretty simple obviously, and we only have roughly 125-130 guests. What's the rough price of getting those made? Thanks!
Please do not use save the date cards instead of invitations. As others have mentioned, save the date cards only have the date - invitations have the date, time, location, and some way to RSVP. If you only send out save the dates, your guests will get confused when they never get an invitation.
For both invitations and save the dates, you can either make your own or buy them. They can be as simple or elaborate as you want. I got my invitations from invitationsbydawn.com. I compared several websites, and that one had the lowest prices as well as the most customization in wording - like how many lines of text, and which ones are bolded for the names of the bride and groom. For 100 invitations, envelopes (inner and outer), and 150 thank you cards, it came out to about $300. It's not charged per invite - for the invitations themselves, it was something like $100 for 25, $102 for 50, $104 for 75, etc. You are mainly paying for them to set up the printing press, so it is best to order extras just in case.
If you want to make your own, you can do it very cheaply. Any craft store has kits to make your own invitations with your printer. You can also really do it yourself by starting with cardstock and cutting and printing it yourself. It just depends on what look you are going for, and how much of your own time you are willing to put into it.
You need to compare credits cards between the hundreds of different credit cards. This helps you to know what kind of credit card you should use. If you are equally disciplined in paying off any balance each month, then you can take full advantage of the effective "interest free" period between purchase and each monthly settlement date. Most of the cards, allow you a reasonably long 59-day period of grace. There are some credit card companies which grant a shorter period and others which allow none at all. Therefore you would need to be compare credits cards to avoid these.
Furthermore, there is also the chance to gain more by going for a cash-back or reward card that wins you some of your money back or "free" gifts every time you use the card.
Interest on your credit expenditure will unquestionably begin to mount up if your best intentions are not always fully met and you discover that there is an outstanding balance sometimes carried over from one month to the next. It is now that you will need to be more watchful of the interest rate applied by the credit card provider. And it is here that the depiction gets rather more intricate.
There are a variety of different credit cards on hand. And a range of interest rates to go with them. The difference between those rates can also be very large – more than a 10% difference in the annual percentage rate (APR). For instance, the differences will be affected by such factors as the differences in standard, basic rates of interest; the period of grace between purchases and application of interest. Thus, it is essential to take all of the factors should be taken into consideration and, if any, is right or desirable given your own spending patterns.
As discussed earlier, if you are the type of credit card user who knows that there will always be an outstanding balance on the card at the end of each month, then the rate of interest will be very decisive. A golden opportunity to clear your debt is provided by the many offers of zero-percent interest balance transfers. These will give you a fixed period usually six month period on which no interest is charged on the transferred balance. Some cards will also extend the interest-free arrangement to any new spending on the card during this period – though unless you are also paying off such expenditure, it will of course be added to the total amount outstanding. On the other hand some credits cards still offer zero-interest on the transferred balance, but charge a higher rate than standard rate of interest on any new buying.
So the bottom line is, we must compare credits cards very carefully. And we only should sign up for the credit cards that match your specific needs and habits.
