Wedding Invitations can be expensive, very expensive. One thing that you can do is create your own. Elegant invitations can be created easily with a computer and a regular old inkjet printer. All you need is a decent supply of invitation quality paper, and a good idea of what you want to do.
Holiday decorations translate well for weddings. Light strands, garlands, candles, and other festive items can all be re-used during a reception or at the ceremony. Obviously you don't want to have an electic wire reindeer as a centerpiece, but there are a lot of things in your home (and in your parents' home) already that can be extremely useful.
Providing gifts for bridesmaids and groomsmen is a long standing tradition. The gifts need not be elaborate, but it is a way of saying thank you for all the help they've given you during the planning process.

Too expensive? Well, you could opt for just the bride for a paltry $800 - after all, the bride is the star of the show anyways, right?
