The average American wedding costs over $25,000which is completely insane. I encourage brides to find innovative, thoughtful ways to reduce their bridal budgets, and if you do choose to spend money, spend it on independent vendors and thoughtfully-made merch.

Uber Angel Wedding InvitationsYou won’t find many wedding stationers who divide their invites into categories like Rockabilly, Punk, Gothic, and FetishUber Angel is one in a million!

Danni founded Uber Angel (based in the UK) because, as she explains on her about page, while there are a few non-traditional stationers out there, most of them are focused on “black & purple with celtic or mythical elements.” And while sure, that works great for a pagan wedding, it might not work for those of you who want tattoo-themed invites for your rock ‘n’ roll nuptials. In addition to her standard offerings, Danni also does custom commissions.

Offbeat promo: Buy Uber Angel invites and receive a 20% discount on extra stationery, table plans, place cards etc.

Check out Uber Angel and get inspired!
