Budget Wedding Stationary

My wedding budget is about $ 18,000, which I understand is a lot of money. But we're all going out with food, and reception. We will accommodate 130 people and it will cost about $ 11,000 for the place, food, bar and all that stuff.

This leaves us with $ 7,000 left. We need to hire a photographer, DJ, get flowers, buy my dress, get the tux, rings, stationary, pay the church and therefore with all that.

I want to save money with the invitations, programs, centerpieces, favors and decorations. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do for her.

There are tons of DIY ideas online. But I feel so much focus on marriage that are less than $ 10,000 for the simplest weddings. We pay almost $ 85 per person for food. I do not want my invitations look like they cost 50 cents.

So what are some craft ideas for a wedding budget higher. I do not want to serve the food amazing, but then do everything like he came to the dollar store.
