I'm trying to think of areas to save $$ and I was thinking of making my own invitations! Is anyone else thinking of doing this? Do you think it'll be more of a hassle than it's worth?

Re: anyone considering making their own invitations?
I have no doubt it's going to be a project & 1/2, but I am going to do them... In April I'm going to make our STDs... If that is a nightmare I may order the invites, but I'm really thinking of making them, I even priced out my options

Any idea where you're getting the invitations from? I know wilton has premade ones, I saw them at AC moore tonight and you just pop it in your printer. Or are you really going to make them?

I 'm thinking of the plain ones from Target that you print out, tying a bow on them boxing them up & mailing them out & w/ shipping still less than having someone else print them

Re: anyone considering making their own invitations?
you're the 2nd person that mentioned target, I'll have to check it out. I'm trying to figure out how much of the crafts I can do myself to make up for the expense of the chair covers!

I'm doing so many DIY, partly b/c I want to make sure they're excatly what I want, plus saving $$ is always good, that way we can apply it elsewhere...

Re: anyone considering making their own invitations?
yea i am doing mine. Design all aspects of printed materials for the wedding. Printing them at the print shop i work out and i am thinking of buying a small ebosser to emboss them slightly.
Will start work in january for the std's and invites. I have to say if you do a single or double panel invites with response card and envelopes its cheaper to print it out on your ink jets and then decorate them.

I want to make my own too! I think it will be alot cheaper and I love how Camacho did hers. She has instructions on how she made them in her wedding review.
She gave these sites that you can order your parts from:
invitesbyyou.com or cardsandpockets.com
I'll probably look at AC moore too!

I bought a box of 50 invites, envelopes, RSVP cards and eveything for $29.95 @ Michael's. I changed my mind on invites and am ordering the pocket folders for $1.60 each and making them. Printing the invites and gluing them to the pocket folders. So excited!

Re: anyone considering making their own invitations?
I have not looked into the cost of buying invitations, considering you invite say 150 people, that would be appox 75 invites
Does anyone know the price for a good quality invitation maybe with a bow?

I am making my own invites. You will save more than half the coast. Do a little research and compare the prices and you will see the divides. It's a very big divides.

I haven't really thought about the wedding invitations yet, but we're definitely making our own invitations for the e-party. We're also getting an invitation package at Michael's for $30 - they have so many pretty invites!

Re: anyone considering making their own invitations?
im going to try to make my own because i looove crafts and i think it will be fun. besides itll save some $. i like camachos pocketfolds...they came out soooo awesome...so i figure i could do something too. my moh is a designer so she's going to help me which i think will make it easier.
worst case u can try making one and see how it comes out.
im going to get quotes from a few places to see how much of a price difference there is and then really make my decision.
