Invitation cards
How important is it to you the way your invitation cards look? One can spend a lot or a lot less on invitation cards. Some people might go really simple seeing as cards are just a piece of stationary that'll be discarded after the wedding, while others might prefer to convey the elegance of the wedding right from the start.
Whatever your preference is, there'll be cards made for just that.
DIY card projects are an option, if you've got the time. I found all the editing, printing, cutting and glueing quite time consuming and that was just name place cards.

How I went about it
I found my card provider online, paid her a visit, looked through 1000s of card samples and made 5 choices. I took these to my husband and we made the final pick together. We went for simple and elegant.
I also provided wording for the card.
Church program
Reception program
Tip: Account for travel time for both the wedding party and guests when making a program.
Here is one I made Exhaustive Wedding Planning Spreadsheet.
