Feeling defeated...need your thoughts

My invites that I wanted didnt work out

I dont know what to do. I need invites and I need them fast. I dont have much time to be picky and I dont have much $$ to spend.

Im so angry and sad all balled up into one.

Anyone have any suggestions for me?

I dont like any of Michaels new invites. None of them match my color scheme or theme.

Help...anyone

Do any of your current vendors do invites? I picked my invites and programs out of a Carlson Craft book from my floritst.

I'm not sure what your theme is but I got a Destination Romance catalog in the mail the other day and the invites were super cheap. If your theme is a little beachy they could work. I think they would come pretty fast too. Here is the link to the website:

I bought my online at the americanwedding.com
They were not too $$$ about $1.80 each and I had them in less than a week from the day that I ordered them- That included the time for a few changes I made on the proof.

COSTCO!!!!
I have ordered my save the dates, Bridal shower and WEDDING invites from them. AMAZING brands- Checkerboard and Meri Meri at ridiculous prices. Quick service as well! Take a look, you will have your invites in 3 weeks at most.

You could also check out etsy and see if you can have them made. You set your own price and see if someone is willing to make it for that price.

I heard Costo has really fabulous but affordable invites! Also, try Wedding World - they are so nice there and can help you out for sure!

Papyrus is running a sale on wedding invites -- in store and online. It's $50 off orders over $400 (weddings50) or $100 off orders over $800 (weddings100)

I was going to make povketfolds using a Michaels invite. Well I fell in love with a particular one, it went great with my theme and my colors BUT they were clearance. After searching all over the island and about a dozen phone to Michaels and Gartner I was finally told that they had no more in stock and thats that. So here I am frustrated and invitationless!

I heard about a good place in patchogue but cant remember the name.

Thanks for all the great advice ladies! I love you girls!!

Maybe Cedarhurst Paper on 112?

We got our invitations from Party City. They have a lot of books to look through, the price is right, and they took only 2 weeks to come in.

Good luck!
