all it a marriage made in
heaven. Whether you’re
aiming for a DIY a;air or
just want to save a few
dollars, there are many creative ways
that Costco can help on the big day.
Invitations and more
The stationery designs available from
the Costco Photo Center are fun and
modern—and making your selection is
easy from the comfort of your couch.
Start by going to costcophotocenter.
com/greetings and checking out the
matching suites of stationery. Available
only online, the suites include everything
a couple needs for a wedding, from
save-the-date magnets to matching
invitations, enclosure cards, programs,
RSVPs and thank-you cards; the pieces
can be ordered individually or as a full or
partial suite. “Members can expect sub-
stantial savings on traditional ; x ;-inch
wedding invitations,” says Steve Pruitt,
buyer for the Photo Center. Orders are
ready in ;ve to seven business days.
Pruitt adds that with ;;;-pound,
premium smooth white card stock,
double-sided printing, square or rounded
corners and return address included, all
for no extra charges, you de;nitely can’t
go wrong.
