Invitation
Why are invitations so dag gone expencive???
These are the invites I have chosen from nowandforever.com. I dont know exactly how i fell about paying $400 for invites though. if I do decide to go this route I will be adding a piece of vellum stamped with our monogram in pink and green. ( thanks Sam!)
After seeing how beautiful sns008's tuned out now I'm thinking..... DIY Maybe... *petal enclosure $80.00 for 100 *response envelopes $24 for 100 All found at www.paperandmore.com I can get card stock & vellum anywhere. * office depot card stock $13 for 250 sheets * office depot address stamp $10 * Michaels Rubber stamp and ink $25 * price of printing ink $50 Diy price- $212 IDK?? Martha got me thinking... the petal encloser I posted isnt a pocket folder like I need. So I'll probably get them form here: * pocket folders $86 for 60 www.envelopperinc.com |

Kinkos will not only print but cut your cardstock to specified dimensions. They charge per cut and I believe can cut like 14 sheets at once.
I was going to use my friend's invite business to do my invites but with everything I want (pocket fold, 4 enclosures, stamping, embossing, silk ribbon) it was going to cost me about $600 so I'm buying everything separately a nd putting them together myself. Its not really a DIY since I'm not printing or cutting anything myself. I'm just assembling. Saving about 250 on that.

I'm also making my pocketfold invites. You shoulc check out paper-source.com, cardsandpockets.com, and mygatsby.com They are inexpensive. I heard cardstock inserts work best on laser printers instead of inkjet printers.
You are right....invitations are so expensive. I'm on a tight budget so I need to keep in mind to not go overboard especially with embellishing them. Mine are probably going to be simple with a pretty bow.

DIY sister! People are probably going to toss them after a year.
This is where I am getting my invited and they are really cheap! You should definitely check it out!
