Can wedding invitations in the form of scrolls be realistically mailed without costing too much?

It would all depend on the weight of the total package.  Is the "scroll" just going to be one sheet of paper, or will there be some kind of decorative handles?  Will you include the rsvp cards and envelopes?  I would guess, by checking out some of the options at usps.com, that if your scrolls are paper-only in some kind of sturdy cardboard packaging you're probably looking at something in the $2.00-4.00 a piece range for shipping.

I always give $75 or $100 depending on how well I know the person.  But if you haven't seen him for 7 years, less might be appropriate - say $50?.  Are you invited to the wedding?  If not, no need to send anything but a card.  If you're only invited to the reception, maybe $25?  The online registry answer is a good idea.

Wow, beyond what you have already listed, I can't think of anything really. How about buying each other a gift on eBay (limit how much spent) with the idea that you want to send them something they think the other would truly love.\n\nHow about a mutual blog in planning the wedding? That way when the date is close, you can break out your list with all the flower type, colors, location etc. all ready.

renewing vowels??  hehe!\n\nif you mean vows then i suggest getting your family to make everything, cuts down on costs. \n\nPick a theme.. like white, or roses or classic or something..\n\nthen think of what fits the theme and is cheap.. \n\nBrainstorm!!

You can create one yourself if you want. Just include:\nDate, To, To #, From, From #, # of pages (including cover sheet) being faxed, and Message.

When announcing a marriage that is not going to be having a follow-up reception, keep it simple.  Simply stating (for example)- It is with great pleasure to announce that on (enter date, 2006), (enter name of bride) and (enter name of groom) vowed their love and devotion to eachother in a (for example) seaside ceremony on the beaches of Hawaii.  May they have a happly and blessed life together.\n\nPeople don't really need any other information than that.  Many people understand that in today's day, age and economy, a reception is an unnecessary expense.  Those that are close enough to you already know and anyone that wants to send a gift will have access to your address from the return address on the envelope.  There is no tactful way to present the gift issue if you are not having a reception.  It would be untactful to register somewhere and include that information.  If whomever you are sending the announcements to has an actual impact on your lives, they will send a gift.

I make my own invitations all the time, it's inexpensive and easy. I use plain 4 X 6 index cards and self sealing 4-3/8" x 5-3/4" envelopes that you can buy at any office supply store. You can do 100 invites for $15 and have 400 index cards leftover. You have to trim the bottom of the card so that it will fit in the envelope but that's easy. I use a paper cutter or a pair of speciality shears that you can buy at craft stores, but you could use regular scissors. I print the cards using Microsoft Word. You can usually find art work to fit any theme right in Word's clip art file. I listed the wording below and I usually center it on the card. It's pretty easy, good luck.\n\nYou are cordially invited to\nA Rehearsal Dinner\nMay 1, 2006, 6:00 p.m.\nThe Smith Residence\n123 First Street\nAnytown, Wyoming\n\nPlease RSVP by April 25, 2006\nto 307-555-1212 \n\nAlso Evite is a good way to send invitations if everyone you're inviting has email.  This wouldn't work in my family because most of them are 25 years behind.  Good Luck

Sure, try kinkos. But, it's relatively easy to do it through ms word (tools->envelopes and labels). Just type in the dimensions of the envelope.

What about little white boxes or tiny pails of chocolate hearts or other candy, with a little note saying with love from (you & your partner)? (The Conversation Wedding Hearts look like a fun thing to wrap.) Or a white candle wrapped in gold or whatever color theme you have chosen? \n\nYou could put one at each place-setting at dinner, or you could send them out after the wedding with the thank-you cards - easier to organise than distributing them when you are trying to get away yourselves! \n\nThere are some great ideas on the links below, BTW, like personalised wedding-cookies.

There are a lot of websites of companies that sell invitations - some of them will have many of the same invitations, but look around and you should find lots of good ideas.  The Knot also has a bunch of invitations, and links to the websites where they're sold.  I listed a few others below.  Good luck!\n\nhttp://www.theamericanwedding.com\nhttp://www.invitationconsultants.com\nhttp://www.invitationswithstyle.com\nhttp://www.mygatsby.com\nhttp://www.invitationsbydawn.com

I agree wholeheartedly.  Use the best paper you can afford, draft what you will say before you start to write.  Make sure the watermark in your paper is right-side-up and legible from left-to-right.  If necessary, use a ruled sheet of paper beneath your letter sheet to guide your writing and to keep it from slanting.  Use a matching envelope.  Make sure your stamps are appropriate under the circumstances.  If you are concerned about the time lag between your meeting and your letter being received, fax or email a fascimile, indicating that you are sending the same letter via the U.S. Mails (or send similar language by fax/email, but add a line that you are so enthusiastic about the opportunity that you wanted to get back to [recipient] as quickly as possible).  Best of luck.

The important thing is for you and your beloved to have a day the feels special to the both of you.  Depending on where you live, some states allow a lay person(someone who is not a minister or a justice of the peace) to get a special license for 1 day, and they can marry you.  So that wouldn't be too expensive(maybe the person you ask to do it would even pay for the license themselves).  You could also find a justice of the peace, or go to your local city or town hall and ask if they do wedding ceremonies.  You could keep your ceremony small, and just have immediate family.  That way you don't have to pay for a lot of flowers or decorations.  Then for the ceremony, it depends on how many people you want to invite.  My ceremony was in my church, and then our reception was at a small hotel.  We had less than 50 people, but our total cost was still over $5,000, which included my dress, alterations, flowers, food, hubbies tux, etc.  If either of you belong to a church, you should be able to get married in it for a small fee(if any).  Then you could just do a small ceremony afterwards.  Some people are doing just appetizers, or just desserts.  It's basically just an hour or so, lets everyone mingle, then there could be a toast and people can go on their way.  As far as invitations, you can buy nice paper at an office supply store and print them yourselves.  If you have a small reception with just apps or desserts, include that so people don't expect to be fed.  But it's all perfectly okay!!

Walmart sells blank programs.  I am getting married in July and this is what we went with since we are doing the programs and the invitations ourselves.  They carry some great things in both.  We put a nice tasteful graphic on the front, our ceremony and reception information, our names and date, the names of the people involved in our wedding, some cute wedding graphics on the back.  We also dedicated a panel of the program to loved ones we lost which included his mother and our grandparents.  We made bows out of ribbon with our names and the date and are going to glue them to the front in the corner and are sealing the programs with some heart seals.\n\nYou could do the programs either way, though most people do them more like brochures.  You don't even have to use those programs.  Take a regular sheet of paper, put your information on it (to make sure it's like you want it) and then take it to the local print shop and have them put it on parchment style paper.  Since they would normally have laser printers they look REALLY nice.  I know the one here in my town is not expensive either.  6 cents for the paper and maybe 10 cents to print on the paper.\n\nCongrats and good luck!!

use the "send attachment" button.  It's pretty intuitive from there.
