I just found a really good source for wedding invites from India. I ordered samples and they came in last night. The cards are so pretty and much cheaper. I only ordered samples of those under $0.50 each. (Samples are a bit more to order.) Shipping was a bit exhorbant for the samples. The colors are so vibrant and the cards are make of nice textured paper and fabrics.

Unfortunately, they do ask that you pay for samples. But the website says that if you do get your cards from them they will put the cost of the samples towards your final order.
Anyways, I thought I would share. I know how tight budgets can be.
