I happen to see a pic of an invitaion on a FB page which I loved which goes with my theme. I emailed the lady and got a quote and almost fell off my chair LOL
I said to myself she was going to come back with this price but still can't believe it. This lady is friends with one of my friends.
This is what I am getting:

120 invitations : $1,616.63.

That price includes the following:
* Two Layer Custom Invitation with Shimmer & Glitter Cardstocks
* Satin Ribbon with Snowflake Buckle
* Shimmer Mailing Envelope with Return Address
* Shimmer Reception Card
* Shimmer Response Card with Response Envelope
* Shimmer Hotel Accommodations Card
* Emailed Proofs
* Mockup Sample so you see 1 real completed set before production begins

The invitation is in my wedding stuff Album.
Is this alot?..I have no idea!

I think that sounds like a lot. I got 150 invitations for under 550. I got everything u got except for a reception card and hotel accommodations card. Mine were very similar including the satin ribbon and such.

They are beautiful though!

Where did you get yours from? Did you have bling on the satin ribbon?

Over $13 an invitation is a lot. Also, how much would it cost to mail them? Does it include raised printing?

Raised printing (thermography). Usually seen on business cards, you can feel the letters, printing isn't flat.

It seems high. Print that picture for other vendors and shop around a bit.

This. That snowflake broach will also bump up the price significantly

I would search on etsy under 'winter wedding invitation' or 'snowflake wedding invitation' and see what you can get. That's a bit expensive for me.

That price is insane, IMO. Keep in mind that most people (unfortunately) throw the invitations out. Are you willing to spend $13 plus postage for something someone will eventually throw away?

They look beautiful. I don't think you will find anything similar for significantly cheaper. That being said, you can def get other invites for cheaper (I paid $650 for 150, 2 layer invites, with a satin ribbon, lined and addressed inners, addressed outters, response cards, & hotel cards). But I can't lie yours are much, much prettier lol! I wanted to cut costs on invites. But if I had the money I would DEF get the one in your album. I love them!

They are beautiful!! They are way more than I would pay for. I paid 190.00 for my 100 invites with reception card,envelopes,colored out envelope,two icons and two different colors on the invite but I refused to spend alot of money on a piece of paper that people throw in the garbage. I would shop around more. Remember you can always add extra bling yourself by going to Micheal's.
