Some received advice

A friend recently told me that she got a quote for a wedding cake, and then the next day went and asked for a price on the same cake without mention that it was for a wedding. The second quote was approximately half of the first. The lesson I take from this is that as much as possible, one should source things for a wedding without mentioning that they are for a wedding. I've taken this to heart; we'll see how well it works.

Right now we're looking for a printer to do our save-the-date cards, and I've approached a number of printers saying only that it's for a short run of postcards. Of course when they get the artwork they'll know it's for a wedding, but I doubt they would suddenly change the price when they see it. Meanwhile, I'm somewhat inclined to submit very similar quote requests using the words save-the-date cards for my wedding to see if it changes the price.
