Back to the Drawing Board...Invitations (UPDATE: Decision Made) - Thanks Ladies!

I was going to have custom invitations made (pic below) and the quote I got was just way too much for me to spend on invitations - $15 a piece. For 100 invitations that would be AT LEAST $1,500 - more than my flowers and DRESS!

So, I'm back to the drawing board. Might have to buckle down and go through mygatsby or something - but the websites are so confusing and the colors are just so hard to see.

UPDATE:

I've decided to go the DIY route. I will replicate the invitations above, b/c they suit my color 'theme' perfectly, and don't look too hard to make. I'm going to buy all the paper and pocketfold envelopements from www.remoteassistance.com and I'll keep you ladies posted on how it all goes down!

I just wanted to say 'thank you' - Thank you to every single one of me for encouraging me and telling me 'You can do it.' Thanks again!

Re: Back to the Drawing Board...Invitations

That's alot to pay for invites. I was like you when I was looking for invites. Everything I liked was $12-$15. I was lucky to find someone from the knot to make my invites. I wish I had a picture, but I'm still designing my invite from all the samples she sent. You can look at one of her samples from kelly&pete (she's a knottie), she made her invites. If you like what you see, here's her email [email protected]. Tell her what your looking for, I 'm sure she'll give you a good price. Hope that helps.

Hey Christine!!!! I know exactly how you feel, EVERYTHING I liked was outrageously priced. We made a decision but now he gave me a great new idea, which I might go with. Depends on how costly it is. Good luck!!!! I feel your pain!!!
