Stardream's Fairway (FUSE series) |
Invitation
I can't believe how expensive paper can get!
Ok, so I've been playing around with the idea of making my own invitations. Here's the deal: I live in Vancouver and there is a limited amount of vendors in the city where you can actually get paper to make your own invitations other than going to Michaels or getting one of those pre-made invitation packages at Staples or Office Depot.
The only place you can really get nice paper (as far as I know) is Paper Poet in New Westminster. They have a great selection and I fell in love with Stardream's Fairway in their FUSE series (see picture). It's like a bamboo/jade green with flecks of mica in it so it sparkles and is the absolute perfect colour for our wedding. I've tried going on eBay to see if I can get it cheaper it's about $1.49 per sheet. When I did go to Paper Poet for this, I was told that the Italian company that makes these only does one run a year and so if they are out, they're out. And of course, when I went there last, they were out. Ahhh!!!! Good thing I started early on this. :( Does anyone else know of a place I can get this paper (120 lbs) for cheap? |
