I hate my invitation BUDGET!!!

Original post by GettinHutched

Grrrrrr.....I wish I had more $$$ for invites. I was stupid to misbuget it in the first place....and FH made me stick to it and he won't let us raise the budget.

So I went to Party City....and I'm not loving anything!!!

Went to a more formal invitation place after that...and the lady said I'd have an easier time finding stuff within my budget at Party City.

So...those of you under a strict budget, or even those of you that went the Party City/online route...could you post your invitations to give me some hope?

Thanks!

Darnit...with thermography and the response cards and such...goes over budget. I guess I should print it myself?

Holy Haley!!! You are unbelievable!!!

I love them all, honestly!

But it looks like with the response cards, etc with most of these, it goes over my budget.

Do you think I should go with Not from a Box, and print them myself?

Do this one with a navy background layer, and the pinstripe pattern?
marketplace invite
Here's a pic of what the pinstripe pattern looks like:

we went to wrap with us, our invites were about $350, but they had a lot of inexpensive, beautiful invites to choose from, definitely worth checking out.

I looooove Jean M....the invite I loved was too $$$$

I'll need 100 invites



totally do-able! Try Costco! You have to be a member, but you should easily be able to get everything for 300!

It is under the floral/events section



OMG I totally didn't think of Costco! My mom's a member! I guess we'll do that next time I'm on LI- thanks!
