I got one of those once and you’re right.
If you want to spend money on your clothes, I get it. If you want to spend money on your photographer, I get it again. If you want to spend a truckload on your decorations…maybe its stretching it but I will still be okay with it. But spending money on something like an invite that gets no attention or holds any value and usually ends up in a dusty corner of the miscellaneous kitchen drawer…not justifiable in my opinion.
My sister is getting married and the invites this time were simpler than any of ours were. Because the rest of us had super elaborate desi cards and most of them ended up in some corner of the garage, she chose to get simple white embossed cards. They look super elegant and didnt cost an arm and a leg. I would rather put that money towards getting a better looking oufit, more pictures or even a nicer stage set up.
