If you have a strict budget and you have the time on your hands (or a few friends and family members who are willing to help) you may want to consider making your own invitations.

Some other tips and considerations:

1. Make sure you state on the invitations that all or a part of the wedding celebrations will take place on the beach so your guests can dress appropriately.

2. Do send a map with the invitation. This may seem obvious, but it is important that people know where they are going!

3. Consider setting up a booking service for your guests. This is an ideal job to give a relative desperate to help with the wedding plans. Put a small card in with the main invitation saying: "Please call Tanya Smith for hotel and B&B accommodation on..." Also include a list of accommodation options with price ranges to suit all budgets.

4. Also remember to include a response card and a self-addressed return envelope. It may also be helpful to ask any guests with special dietary needs to note that on your response card.
