How much did you spend for invitations?

Hi everyone, as you know, I'm on the hunt, but I went to a shop yesterday and everything I liked was over $1000. I cannot see myself spending this much for classy invitations.
I just wanted an idea what the going prices are. If you guys don't mind telling me how much you've spent, or are planning to spend, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks
Liz

$600 for Elite Fine Paper Invites. I got a traditional ecru card style invite, but I wanted our monogram blind embossed on the top of the invite and all of the cheaper invites in all those books you see didn't offer that option in a nice classy way....so I splurged on invites a little. I only needed 75 invites.

Re: How much did you spend for invitations?

probably way too much!


over $1000 after the hand caligraphy was done...

honestly though, we were btwn these adn another and it was a difference of 2-300 and we just decided to splurge, b/c the more expensive were PERFECT! we got so many compliments....

but its all in your preference.

Shama, where did you get your invitations?

Re: How much did you spend for invitations?

Our invites were ordered thru our photographer. We used our engagement pix as part of our invites. It was a b&w pix of us then there was a vellum with our wording over it. Very nice.

We spent about $700.00. We got letterpress invites from a small company in Sonoma, Calif. We absolutely love ours.
If you're looking for letterpress, I recommend using who we used. We looked at several letterpress companies at Kate's in NYC and they were $1200.00

Try Write Impressions in Merrick...they have some beautiful invites that are reasonably priced.

I chose a very expensive paper from William Arthur, and my invites cost between $900-$1000 without postage, of course.

Re: How much did you spend for invitations?

Debbus and latina how did you get such good prices? Where did you go?

Re: How much did you spend for invitations?

We spent about $300 for the invites themselves, and then add on postage. That's for 150 invitations (of which I needed about 130!)

Re: How much did you spend for invitations?

About $800 including postage.

Re: How much did you spend for invitations?

$400 not including calligrapher and postage.....(for 100)

Re: How much did you spend for invitations?

We spent about $550 for a set of 150... They were heavy card stock and did not have to be folder! This cost included thank you notes. We spent an additional $125 on postage.

Re: How much did you spend for invitations?

i fell in love with an encore invitation that wasnt that expensive, and another one which I am keeping my eye on that was about $425. It depends on how much over my budget I go. the key s the budget.
