If you go to Michaels they have it for CHEAP and already cut. I actually got the box of invites and they are on sale (not sure until when) for $25 for 30 for the kit.
were you able to print on the pre-cut pages?

I use one of the old school ones you find in an office. but cvs sold a good one a while back. i'm making all my own i invites too. what kind are you making?
Fed Ex Office lets you use their paper cutter for free. When I was in school I took all my design projects there at night and spent time cutting everything.
I have the Martha Stewart paper cutter. I DIY'ed my invites also, and the blade is still super sharp.

I did this to and then did an embossed stamp to fancy them up- so simple and elegant and crazy cheap!
I think I will try to get them from Michael's already cut. I would obsess over getting the lines right if i had to do it!

For testing the printing - - if you run out of the xtras in the kit - - just cut down a reguler piece of paper to size. since it's for testing it doesn't have to be perfect - - kitchen scissors will do.![]()
Using a wax seal on the flap is a nice touch too - - we did this. but be sure you have a helper. since the wax melts and drips quickly , one person should do the drip while another moves the envelopes along. do maybe 4 or 5 drips then seal these before the wax hardens, then do another set etc. BUT don't put the wax on too heavy. if the seal is too high that it won't go thru the post office test slot they will charge you extra postage to mail!!!
