This exclusive one-stop shop for brides, housed in a cozy brownstone on the Upper East Side, is a great source for fancy invitation. It has everything from high-end, old-school British invites by Wren Press ($2,000 for 100) to whimsical hand-painted styles by Dreamland ($1,000 for 100).

SAYING "I DO" AT A PRIVATE CLUB ...Some clubs do charge location fees, but, says Claudia Hanlin, president of the Wedding Library, "they also have a lot of pared-down costs."
WEDDINGS IN A PLACE OF WORSHIP ...Hanlin notes that at churches and synagogues, "you will get a better deal, paying anywhere from 10 to 30 percent less."
SWAPPING RINGS AT A RESTAURANT ..."Getting married at a restaurant is a very good cost-saving option," says Hanlin.
