Finally picked invitations - i think (w/ pics!!)

Original post by evita2781

So 'she' gave us 2 different types of invitations - one hardcover (i've posted before) and one pocketfold. Here's a pic of the pocketfold. What do you girls think? is it too plain??

i've also attached the hardcover for comparison

the reason we're going with the pocketfold is b/c the hardcover is a good $500+ more than the pocketfold and is way over our budget at this point

you know how i feel about the hardbound but i know what you mean about staying in budget.

i say go with the pocketfold. you get to keep the hardbound one for yourself, no? lol at least you get to keep the proof, i mean.



she actually posted it on her blog as a new design - which bummed me out b/c i know i cant keep it ( i have to return it - it's they're only sample - booooo)

budgets sucks!



how do you know you can't keep it?! she told you that? W*T*F she's annoying me lately i know everyone loves her but

offer to buy it from her? it's probably like $10-15, no? she could always reproduce another one - this is what she does!

she attached a post it to the invitation asking to return sample i wanted to keep it - it's so pretty. but i have a different hardcover sample from another person (not as pretty though).

HA - she's been annoying you? lol y?

well her initial quote to me was almost $200 less than what it actually cost - i added a few things but there were a couple of added costs that i didn't anticipate - e.g. the little scroll things in the corner of my invites were an additional $15 (i didn't choose those - she put them on the invite - which i didn't know about until it showed up on my invoice), she charges for using certain types of paper for the shipping from supplier (which was an additional $25), there were separate design fees for each insert, the little ribbon holding the inserts together, etc. just a bunch of little things that added up really quickly. all in all i've been happy, but i just think as a business model if you tell someone a price, you should stick with it, barring any substantive changes that make the price go up, ya know?

and she's a little 'preachy' but that might just be because she gets the same questions over and over again so i'll cut her some slack.

I love it Evita!!! The hard cover is really nice but I think I like the pocket fold better, plus $500 is a lot of money! I think you made a great choice

oh that's not cool. yea those 'little' things add up so fast. I was looking at it and i was thinking, oh i can add this and that but multiplied by 150-160, that adds up!!!! lol you're funny. but your invitations are beautiful!!
