DIY Invitations

Ladies I need help! Myself and fiance would like to make our own invitations. We have lots of candidates to help us make them but I am not too sure where to start.
Ladies have any ideas? Websites to look at?
Thanks a bunch!

I had a friend design them for me. All my other materials I got from 'cards and pockets .com' I have pics in the 'wedding things' album if you're interested. DIYing our invites allowed us to get high quality invites for a decent price! Good luck!

was it hard to print them yourself being that you had to line everything up correctly? I am also concerned about buying a printer with a good quality incase we decide to add a photo.. I really want to DIY invites but I feel like it is going to be just as pricey! Help please :)

Unless you are printing on your own, I cannot find anything cheaper than Davids Bridal. I cannot print bc I had enough of a headache printing address labels for the stds. With envelope printing it is 538 for 150 invites, response, reception cards, printed envelopes, etc. If anyone knows of anything cheaper, let me know!!! Ordering this week....

DIY Invitations

I found a free template online that I could customize with my colors and wording, and had them printed at Vistaprint. They're nothing special, but they'll get the job done and didn't cost a lot. If you find a deal or Groupon for Vistaprint, it can be a good way to go.

I used davids bridal, it was the best value for quality I could find. I spent about $550 for 150 invites, response cards, hotel cards, inner lined envelope, and envelope addressing (inner and outer). I think it may be cheaper to have nyditigalcalligraphy address your envelops I think they charge almost half of David's Bridal, but I found that out after the point.
