ANYONE ORDER INVITES ONLINE??!!

I found the invites I want, the vendor wants to charge, $400+ for 125 invites (that's with no lining, no tissue, and no return address). I priced it online at princessweddinginvitations
and with everything included it comes to $334.84. I just need to know if anyone else ordered their invites online and if they had any problems???

HELP!!! Need to order soon...

ME TOO!!! I figure we have to mail them out by Junish, so we need to order to at least allow 2-4 weeks for delivery. So at the latest we have until end of march to mid-april to order. I checked out rexcraft and they don't have the invites i want, but their prices are similar to princess.

For me.. since it 's the first week in August.. I HAVE to mail my out the end of May-- beginning of June, which would only be 2 months... June/July... and I want to make sure I get it out before people plan Summer Vacations... so I think Mid-May I will send it!

SOOOOOOOOOo I need to order NOW, then be able to address them on Spring Break from school with is the end of April!

Where did all the time go?!?!

Tell me about it...but here's the kicker, since i teach high school, i have had a faithful monitor for the past 3 years, and she has the best hand writing, and she will be helping her 'favorite' address envelopes during our lunch periods...gotta have the kids give back some kinda way!!

Trnity: from who?

I ordered them from www.wedding-needs.com. They are so accomadating and really fast. We had a little bit of an issue when our UPS man put the box on a wet chair that was in front of our house. Some of the envelopes were ruined, but we called the company the next day and told them about it, and they sent us new envelopes over night. It was great. Really good quality stuff.

Here is what they looked like:
