7. Make your own invitations.
Rather than having your invitations designed and printed, follow your own design sensibility. If you're a design novice, remember, simple is best and you can always scour the Internet for examples of others' invitations. Buy some nice paper and print the invitations yourself. If you're truly creative, you can make your own favors, too.
