DIY Invitations Invites done - Saved $$$

OK, If you're THINKING about it......DO IT! Using my coupons for AC Moore, Walmart for photo dups, & plenty of patience......My TOTAL invite cost came to $1.98 each (AND THAT INCLUDES THE POSTAGE!) So....$140 in the end.
I could have saved more $$ if I didn't choose the pict. invite, but I really wanted it. Also, I had to buy vellum because the vellum that came with the invites was so thin it wouldn't feed thru my printer....but even the vellum I bought at Office Max with a coupon & then printed on both sides & cut to size to save $$.
Also, I was surprised that I really didn't use that much ink! (71 invites printed, plus my opps ones)
Picts in album if it doesn't post....

How did you print the addresses right on to the envelope? How did they come out without bumps or anything??

You did such a beautiful job! your invites are very pretty. I'm DIYing the invites myself. (In my album) I have to say, if you have the patience, it's totally worth it. I saved tons of money and plus, I loved doing it, so it's fun for me. If anyone needs help or advice, I have a ton of research I've done for invites and DIYing them. I'd be more than willing to help anyone. It's worth it to save money. :o)

BEAUTIFUL work!! congrats! :o) happy planning everyone!

With Wilton you use their software online to get it to line up....The 'bumps'? Not sure what you mean...maybe your printer creates that?
