well, originally the ones i wanted, which are the ones i got came out to 1200 if i got the layered response cards that look just like the invites, so i saved about 300 by getting the single card rsvp's
i figure no one really cares about that and they are coming back to me anyway

which ones jen, maybe i can find them cheaper
also, the place i got them from gave 25% off if i paid cash or check


Invite

I think I'm crazy b/c I really cut back on flowers and invites b/c I splurged in other areas.

BUT, at the same time these puppies are letterpress and from what I hear, letterpress invites are $$$$$$$$.

I don't know - people just throw out the invites anyway....

ETA: Thanks Laura, if you can find anything....


oh those are so nice Jen
i will see what i can find but costco is discounting them, that is not a bad price at all
they are super pretty

I was thinking of possibly having the invitation designed by smashingcards but printed else where and assembling it myself. But for now I will keep searching.

Mine came out to $350 with everything, except postage.

I did not have them addressed, other than my parents address as the return on the invite and response card.

A friend of my mothers has offered to do them in calligraphy for free!

This is one area I refuse to spend a lot. Our minimum is 175 and we'll be inviting well over 200. To be honest, I don't remember a single invitation I've ever gotten when I've been invited to a wedding.
