DIY Wedding invites

Hey fellow brides,
So I designed and created 100% of my paper goods for our wedding and I'm hearing a lot of good things from my guests that have received their invations. I'd love to keep doing this even after the wedding! If you need any help with invites or custom designs let me know. I have all my DIY paper goods in my invite album.

Ah, all of your stuff looks so good! Where do you buy the paper goods from, including the pocket folds?

Paper Presentation in Union Square. They're cheaper than what I've seen online. The more you buy, the less they cost. Also, you can see all the options and color choices in person!

I'm curious how you printed them? I have someone who can make all my paper goods onto a PDF but I'm not sure how I'd print them. It would kill my toner in my printer plus I feel if I printed them they would look cheap. I'm wondering how the printing at kinks or staples is? I was even thinking vistaprint. This is getting to be too stressful lol!

I'm about to go to bed, but I might shoot you a FM to tomorrow. I wanted to do something custom, but I have no idea how to do anything like that!

I'm a graphic designer so that helps a lot. I use Adobe photoshop and Illustrator to design everything and have most of it printed through vista print. They have AMAZING groupons like $17 for $70 worth of printing so I saved a ton of money there. As for the envelopes, I printed them on my home printer since I wasn't using much ink.
