Invitations, RSVP cards, direction cards, menus, program cover, thank you notes - all together? What have you allotted in your budget?

I'm just curious...thanks ladies!

That's great! Did that also include your response/direction cards?

Hmm - ok, the only problem with him is that he doesn't really break quotes out. My quote was around $1300 for one color printing or $1800 for two color printing and included the following:

Invites w/ printed envelopes - 125
rsvp w/ printed envelopes - 125
direction card - 125
menus - 190
program covers - 125
thank you note with envelope (not printed) 150
thank you note for my shower w/o envelope - i am providing - 100

I'm not sure how each piece breaks out, but I'm sure he would be more than happy to work up a quote for you. He's been extremely patient with me and I ask ALOT of questions!

Are you printing themself yourself too? Have you made a sample?

I love the pocketfolds, I'm just scared that if I DIY, I'll screw it up!
