I'm just curious to know about invitations. DIY seems to be a lot cheaper but is that really true? Or are DIY invitations at the end of the day comparable in price to professional ones? I'd love to do DIY but only because in my head its cheaper, but it seems that the more research I do, it may not be worth it.
It depends on how fancy you want to get. Simple DIY invites ca be very cheap. Mine are going to cost me less then $100 for about 150 invites. I bought 4 kit at Michaels when they were on sale and used a 30% coupon for $75. I am spending $25 on material to jazz them up a little. This is not including the ink or postage. FH is getting them printed for free at his job.
When I priced out DIY invitations I would have wound up saving only about $100 - which was definitely not worth the headache to me. BUT I also needed 4 inserts and wanted layered invites. If you're going simple then DIY is probably worth it.
mine were $90 for 120 got all my michales coupons together and used them for it. I spent like $2 on feathers to add to the invites and the cost of computer ink. Thats it!!!!!!!

Mine were about $1.79 each and I did not have to invest the time required for DIY. I ordered from the americanwedding.com
