Re: I HAVE NO TIME LEFT AND DIDN'T DO INVITATIONS!!

Why dont you just get the kit from Michaels/AC Moore

ETA: I got my invites through Party City... but they are Naturally Ever After and Party City goes through them to order... the whole process took over 3 months

Re: I HAVE NO TIME LEFT AND DIDN'T DO INVITATIONS!!

you can DIY simple invitations in a day or two (mine took about 2-3 hours to print)

good luck!

Re: I HAVE NO TIME LEFT AND DIDN'T DO INVITATIONS!!

just visit michaels this weekend and pick up the kits. as long as you have a printer, you can just print everything on and if you don't know how to do calligraphy, then just print labels.

the wrap around labels are very popular these days and it's easy to do.

I ordered my invitations from weddingpaperdivas and they came really quickly. Here is a link to processing time.
But it may be quicker for you to do it yourself with an invitation kit.

you can buy kits at Michaels or AC Moore and print them at home. we did computer calligraphy for the addressing and printed the envelopes at home as well

You are going to have to DIY - look at Target, AC Moore and Michaels and good luck.

Re: I HAVE NO TIME LEFT AND DIDN'T DO INVITATIONS!!

um you can always ask certain companies both online/in person if they have a priority service. You'll pay a pretty penny but they will guarantee delivery much sooner than normal orders..

Good luck and don't panic :)

Re: I HAVE NO TIME LEFT AND DIDN'T DO INVITATIONS!!

thanks for all your help!

I just called Party City and they said they do in-store invitations that can be printed in 48 hours and they have wedding ones...anyone ever do this or see what they look like????are they garbage or professional looking?

Thanks!

Re: I HAVE NO TIME LEFT AND DIDN'T DO INVITATIONS!!

Buy the invitation kit from Michael's, they give you all the directions and links for the computer to do your format - it's very simple.
As for the envelopes, if you cant get them done in time, why not get the clear Avery labels and print them out with a fancy script?

Re: I HAVE NO TIME LEFT AND DIDN'T DO INVITATIONS!!

if you buy the kits I can help you out

Re: I HAVE NO TIME LEFT AND DIDN'T DO INVITATIONS!!

The kits you buy from Michaels, target and ac more will be nicer than the 48 hour party city invites. They come with directions- really are not that hard to do as long as you have ink for the printer. On another note I have 2 boxes of Brides invitaion kits that I wont be using paid approx 30 each would like 40 for both boxes. pick up in nassau county.
