Not sure about the cost question. As far as the amount of invites it depends: each couple gets 1 invite (per couple). a person bringing a date still gets 1 invite. Children that are coming w/ parents are included on their parent's invite. If let's say out of that 130 people, it is all made up of couples (I know it isn't, but just as an example), you would get 65 invites. Hope this helps

what I did because we have so many guests is that I created an excel spreadsheet with multipile columns. One of the columns was for how many invitations needed. For example after couple or family , I would have the next column show how many people were invited from that family, and the column after that, I would put a '1' to show I needed 1 invitation. The spreadsheet kept a running total so when we finalized it, I knew exactly how many invitations I needed.

Usually it's one invitation per couple or one invitation per family (if inviting kids). I'm inviting 160 people, I ordered 100 invites just in case. Calligraphy is usually about $2-3 per set for handwritten and $1 per set computer.

I invited 302 & I ordered 175 invites. I used inkspun & it was so cheap & he did a great job. 160 invites by inkspun both inside & outside envelopes cost $126.00 (39 cents for outer & 29 cents for inner plus a set up fee). He matched the script on my invites too & he did them in a days time...he was great can't say a bad thing about him...he even let me come to his house to pick them up since I wanted the labor day weekend to put them together. He doesn't them on teh computer & you can find them on inkspun.com. He is great!

Thanks! I'm a little... umm... a n a l about my lists and keeping organized. FH was laughing at me and making fun of me and my lists, but he saw just how helpful it was when we were sending the invites out! Who's laughing now??? HA!
