DIY invitation question

I want to make my own invitations and I think I can do a really good job, but I fear I cannot cut paper straight. Are there any pre-made kits out there with paper already cut?

I've seen the one's at target but they are too plain for me, I'm looking to use fancy paper/colors/prints.

Or should I just get over my fear and try it?

Thanks!

Why not cut the invitations at Kinko's? They have paper cutters there. We made our letters that we sent out with our STD magnets there, and they came out perfect

This company has some great and inexpensive kits for wedding invites. They have a store in Boston that I went to.

I bought a paper cutter for $12.99!!!! Go to a craft store like Michaels or Rag Shop, they have really inexpensive ones that are great in the Scrapbooking aisle!

Thanks, their site does have cute stuff!

Well i think i might just buy the paper cutter and give it my best shot! Scary, i'd consider myself pretty crafty, except when it involves cutting.
