I saw invites I reaaaallly loved. I bought a sample last week. they came in the mail today and i was soo disappointed! the paper was thin and cheap. the bow is a nice quality satin... but for 4$ an invite , in my opinion its wayyyyyy tooo much to have my mother spend. I showed her the sample today and she loved it and is willing to spend it.. but its insane for flat invites lol

I went to ac moore after work today and i saw these invites. they were 4$ (after my 50% off coupon)for 10. Im going to have to buy diff envelopes. (where and how much they cost.. i have no clue- some1 please point me in the right direction-ty!)

I am thinking of applying swarovski crystals on 5 of the flowers. do you think it is a good idea? also, what color light pink or diamond? and i should ditch the satin bow right? i wouldnt do BOTH crystal and bow.. but def crystals and not the bow.

sorry for making u dizzy!!!

should i just keep looking for diff invites?? or should i just have my mom buy the 4$ ones. they will be more $ if i choose a white ink instead of the standard black.

I love them but i dont' think you need to do anything to them - they are for your shower not your wedding

$4 for a shower invite sounds a bit much to me.

Definitely keep looking. I think for the same price you can find amazing invitations. The woman I use is in Merrick she is awesome and so creative and extremely reasonably priced. My invites for my e-party were awesome, i can take a picture and upload when I get home tonight if you want to see. She has really cute invites.

I agree that $4 is a little steep for shower invites, especially if the quality isn't great. Though before deciding on using these, I would explore the envelope situation first, in case you can't find something that fits exactly! I like how the bow looks. I'm not sure how the crystals would look because the floral design is a little more old-fashioned and classic. I personally can see crystals better on a more whimsical flower design, but would probably have to see it in person to let you know!

They are pretty but why not try something cheaper since it's not an actual wedding invite. Vista print has really nice invites. I got my engagement party ones from there and they were like 40 bucks for 80.
