Where did you order your invitations? How much should I expect to spend. I'm going to need around 175 invites.

Invitations

I ordered from magnetstreet.com. I ordered 125 invitations, envelopes, rsvp cards, and stickers for the back and it was $300 something. We used a $150 off coupon. It was easy to do and people keep saying they're beautiful. We were expecting to pay at least $500 so I was happy with $300. I definitely recommend giving them a shot and look for coupons!

Re: Invitations

Try downloading different fonts from 1001freefonts.com. Sometimes different fonts other than the basic Microsoft ones can make a huge difference!

Invitations

I'm going to order through minted.com
I went to a local store - almost triple the price for the same invitations.

minted.com is also doing free addressing right now.

Invitations

I used Cards and Pockets as well! Designed my own invitations, had Cards and Pockets print them, and put them together myself. Pics in my album.

I did Pocket invitations, I did 60 invites for about $173. That doesn't include postage though, which ran me another 70 bucks.

Invitations

I am a graphic designer, so I will be designing my own. I feel a lot of pressure to do something really different. If you need any help with anything, I'd love to help!

I have Adobe Photoshop program on my computer and downloaded fonts I wished to use as well as wanted to incorporate our engagement pics to personalize them. I knew I just wanted something different.
