Invitations

Where did you get yours from? How many did you get? How much did you spend?

Invitations

I'm still in the process of making ours. My MOH and I used a photoshop program to help design our invitations and our accommodation, directions and RSVP inserts. Luckily I will be able to print them from our home computer onto the paper we are ordering from cards and pockets. I am having someone who I met via this site to address our envelopes and setting a day for me and my girls to put them all together. We are sending out I believe 90 invites and will most likely pay between $350-$450 I am hoping.

I got mine from a store in Bellmore called 'Have you heard?' The owner, Ginny is very sweet and helpful when choosing invites. We are inviting about 150-180 so I believe we ordered 110 or 115 invitations. It was about 11/invite. She has ones that cost less money, though. I'd highly recommend her!

Etsy. They are $7 each and I will order 80. A bit on the high end but I had to have them. They are clear acrylic invites with white engraving.

Most places have the Carlson craft invites. We got those, but our vendor was also our dj/photo/video place they gave us 25% off... So we were under $300 for 100 invites.

I used Whimsy B. They came out phenomenal. We ordered 150 of them for $1,050. I should note that also included the cost of digital calligraphy on the envelopes.

I haven’t officially decided yet, but I am working on comparing costs from a few Etsy vendors. I am leaning towards purchasing a design and printing them myself through Vistaprint. I’m hoping to spend around $200 for 100 invites (plus postage).

I’m going to save a little more money by assembling and addressing them myself and doing RSVP postcards.

I'm having such trouble with this!!! I know I have major time but even the Save The Dates are an issue for me!

I ordered ones that I thought I loved from minted.com.
I got them on Friday and I hate them. They're HUGE magnets (6' x 4.5') and they're just way bigger than I anticipated. Plus, our names are so big an obnoxious and the date is so tiny, you can hardly read it.

Bummed out big time.

This is exactly why I wouldn't order anything online, I wanted to go to the store where I could see it in person. I got a sample from wedding paper divas for my STD's when I did them and they looked horrible. I'm telling you, go to 'Have you heard' they have a great selection. We told the owner a little bit about our wedding and she pulled out a special 'box' she had and she told us she knew exactly what we would like and it was perfect! The first invitation I saw and we ordered it. I had the have a single crystal put on each because that was what the sample had and it made it look elegant and classy.

I used to live down there - in Merrick - I have definitely seen this store!

Thank you for the heads up!

I'm ordering 100 invitations from Stephita and it's $7.49 and invitation. They have a vintage feel with rhinestone and pearl brooches. The best part is there's no tax because the store is in Canada.

I used to do stationery design and made lots of wedding orders. I'm doing a custom route with my old boss, but if you want a great place to start, go to an american greetings or anyone that carries Crane & Co. (Papyrus may). They have binders full of wedding suites that are totally customizable and gorgeous. William Arthur is another company, they are more traditional, and I think recently bought over by Crane.
