98. Skip the limo – You can hire town cars instead of a limo for your transportation.
99. Have a friend drive – Enlist a friend with a nice car to be your driver for the event, and save on a limo.
100. Buy simple thank you cards – If you want a personal touch, print your own thank you cards. For an even easier approach, simply buy a box of simple thank you cards from a craft store. Even stores like Target and Wal-Mart carry these.

I think the DIY thank-you cards is a good idea. I also think other wedding stationery, like save-the-date cards and invitations for that matter, may also be printed at home. I’ve received some very lovely homemade wedding invitations. I’ve even received one that’s handwritten by the bride. I think that’s an excellent way of personalizing your wedding stationery. It made me feel special just receiving it.
The bride- and groom-to-be don’t have to do these themselves. I think enlisting the help of friends and family who have the talent and means to provide some of your wedding needs is a great way to save on costs. I’m sure close friends and family would want to contribute whatever they can to your wedding preparations and be part of your special day.
