Am I the only one who kept friend invites?

Maybe since all of my friends weddings just started... it'll probably change in a year or two...

that amount is rediculous though. I think 100 for me... with everything, will be like $350 or something... I know 100 of the invites alone are like $77

No wedding costs shock me anymore. The invitations I orginally wanted were going to cost over a thousand for a 100 also. and that was without engraving!

i do believe...the first invitations i liked were about $2500 and that's not even with all the trimmings you could get for them. did not get them needless to say, BUT if i could have i would have...they were amazing.

Here's an idea:

Go to party city--a friend got hers from there--and they were a funky Z fold---think: booklet that opened with 4 panels.

they were simple and white with silver hearts on top. the cover of the invite had their names on it and the date.

They didnt spend more than $400, including printing, stamps--and that was for 200 invites!

If you're feelin' crafty---you can always make them---this is one of those times when my art school education will come in handy--i'm getting price quotes right now, but i'm willing to spend a bit more, b/c i will be making them all by hand. Right now, including all the stamps, the best quote ive gotten is $496.

i just need to give myself a few weeks to print and assemble, but it should be fine!

Good Luck!

Re: do you believe

This is just my opinion, but the majority of people throw out wedding invitations, so it seems like an incredible waste of money to spend alot on them.

Re: do you believe

I disagree with most of the above posts --I think that invitations set the tone for your wedding --people get a feel for what type of wedding you are having from the invites...

I really don't think it is such waste to spend a lot on them --i mean --the flowers will be thrown away too and your dress will only be worn once so what is the difference???

I have to say..Good Point. I was shocked too and thought..., 'Oh Hell no I'm not spending that much on invites.' O But you make a good point.
My invites wont cost nearly that much but that's where I choose to save some money.

To each is own. Either way that is on the expensive side. It just depends on weather you want to spend that much or not.
