I'd like to add my congratulations (and apostrophe's).

As to your stationery issue, email?

A fantastic way to save on paper is to minimize the amount of paper you use in your paper invitations. When my wife and I were looking through "official" wedding invitation books, you'd see that most of the decent ones are elaborate constructions. Envelopes have colored liners. Then you've got an inner envelope. Then you've got the invitation, proper, with vellum lining and some number of pull-out cards.

Our solution was to simplify. We printed in two colors (dark blue and silver ink) on standard-sized postcards (for an entirely reasonable price, as done by a professional printer who happily took PDF) and stuffed those into standard OfficeMax envelopes. That card basically said you're invited to the wedding and this time and place, and for more details visit our web page. We also included one of three different RSVP cards plus a return envelope, depending on whether the guest in question was being invited to the smaller events the night before or the morning after the wedding. Those were pre-printed in a single color, at the professional printer, for an entirely reasonable price.

All of this was on the theory that nobody really cares to keep ancient wedding invitations, and it's a seriously good thing to have most of the information online, where it's easy to update as things change. The web page, of course, was our chance to go over the top, with maps, directions, baby pictures, links to wedding registry stuff, and so forth. Even the older relatives who aren't online generally had help from younger relatives...
