INVITE HELP

So far all my planning has gone soooo smoothly. I found things pretty easily that I like and all reasonable priced.

Then I ran into invitations--- UGH! How much did you guys spend?

I like to scarpbook so invitations are kinda important to me. I like nice looking papers and embellishments. The invitations I like are all up around $700-1000. I wanted to spend around $500 total.

Is it horrible to print out your own invitations? I have a really good printer and did this with my engagement invites and STDs.

If not, does anyone have a reccommendation for somewhere for unique, pretty REASONABLE invites?

I got the name of a woman who was recommended by a knottie who is starting out in the business.
I have been emailing back and forth with her and she seems to have some good ideas. She's also supposed to be much, much cheaper but I haven't got her sample pack or the quotes yet but I guess its worth a shot.
Her name is Maryellen [email protected]

One of my friends printed her own invites and they came out great. The key is to use really good paper and fonts and know what you are doing. I think it takes A LOT of time to do this though, which is one of the reasons I decided against it.

Have you looked at any invite companies online? Some are a little cheaper than going to a stationer on LI.

Of course, the more embellishments you choose, the more the price is likely to be. Try to prioritize what is most important to you - for instance, quality of the paper, one color or two color printing, ribbon bands or wraps, etc. Good luck!

Thanks! I'm trying online sites and they are pretty expensive once I pick the paper, ribbon, two colors etc. I gotta keep plugging.
Hey I didnt struggle with anything else. I guess it wouldnt feel like wedding planning without a little stress huh? LOL
