DIY Invites

For those who have done or are planning to make your own, where did you order your supplies from?
Just realized I only have 2.5 months before invites need to go out. I gotta start making moves.

TIA!

I got Always Anna kits and extra paper from Paper&More for insert cards. I think they turned out pretty sweet

Re: DIY Invites

Did you order any of the sample packs first? I have the idea of what i want in my head but I just dont know how to create it. Here is a list of what I need to make or get:

Envelopes
Invite cardstock
reponse cardstock
response envelope
hotel info card

Am I missing anything?

I ordered just a couple samples of the color and style I wanted (not the packs) and the shipping is only $1.

I ordered

Champagne 107# Metallic Card Stock (for menus)

Champagne Metallic Paper 80# (for programs)

Cream Vellum Paper 28# (for table names/numbers)

Cream Card Stock 65# (for inserts)

You might need a reception card if you don't want to put the Reception and Hotel information on the same card.

ITA, just a direction card! And I ordered a ton of samples, as well.
