I am picking out invites tomorrow . . . what can I expect to spend? Anything I should know or be aware of?

Thanks.

Re: Picking Invites Tomorrow . . . Anything I Should Know?

You may want to think of it the other way around -- how much you want to spend determines which invitations you choose.

Here are a few things to consider:
- how many invitations do you need?
- how much time do you want to spend assembling the invitaions (meaning, for example, if you choose an invitation that has ribbon on it, you'll need to cut the ribbon and tie the bows)
- will the invitation need extra postage?

good luck!

Make sure that when you order them you order enough. I ordered too little and had to pay a ridiculous amount for an extra 25 just a week later. Good Luck

Just make sure you order 25 extra (or whatever their next increment is).

imo i wouldn't get any cards with assembly required (i.e. bows, sheer over-lay.) i hated putting mine together!

I would look at your guest list and count the number of addresses so that you order the correct number of invites. I would also get a few extra so that you don't need to worry about mistakes.
