I don?t know if you’re aware, but weddings are EXPENSIVE. Between the extravagant venues, gorgeous gowns, and top-notch food couples serve to their guests, the average American wedding costs about as much as a brand new car (or in some areas, a pretty sizeable down payment on a house)!
With such a large bill coming their way, it?s no surprise that many couples look for every opportunity to snag a freebie for their wedding. If you ask me, this is a great idea! A wedding should never be the reason a couple falls into debt, so the more cash you can save, the better off you?ll be. Here’s a few tips that will help you add flair, personality, and special details to your big day?all without spending a penny!

If you?re willing to do a little internet searching, you can find wedding invitations that are available to download and print out for free. Most of these templates are ultra user-friendly; just insert your name, your partner?s name, and the details of your special day. In just a few keystrokes, you?ll have the perfect invite!
