As the economy continues to nosedive, people continue to look for ways to save money. While boutiques offer quality that comes across in its price tag, online stores are beginning to offer designer invitations at cheaper prices.
Did you know that you could get quality baby shower invitations online at a great price? Amazing, huh? Alright, maybe Im in the minority that I found this kind of shocking. Maybe I was always under the belief that you needed to go to someplace that dealt only with personalized invitations to get something of quality for an event like a baby shower. Didnt you have to spend time going through pages of invitations looking for exactly the right one? Wasnt this supposed to be easy? Apparently I missed the boat.The baby shower invitations I found online werent pre-packaged in shrink wrap type invitations either, but they are made out of high quality paper and can be personalized using either ink or computer programs. Sure, they might cost $30, but thats much cheaper than paying top dollar at some planners business.
This discovery got me to thinking: with these specialty online stores offering these types of services, are individual boutique stores becoming completely obsolete? These boutique stores used to thrive in shopping malls and upper-class strip malls. It used to be that for weddings or baby showers or major birthdays, these boutiques used to be the best place to get classic looking invitations. Of course, because they were designer, they also tended to be a bit pricey. Plus, it took time to sift through the mountains of available invitations. The only times you would go to an online store for invitations would be for a childrens birthday party or maybe a thank you card.
Now that the economy the way that it is people arent as willing to spend the money that these boutiques charge for invitations. Because of this, online stores have seen an opening to begin offering designer invitations. Most people are not willing to totally sacrifice quality in the name of saving some money, but if you can it within the same ballpark then thats enough to win the people over. Remember, despite what you might think most people dont really give an invitation that much thought when they receive them in the mail. Its all about perception and, in a way, getting people on a subconscious level. Stuff like design and font make a difference, but only to those who are really looking for it to begin with.
So yes, if youre looking to save some money on invitations online stores might be a good place to look. You might be surprised what you find.
