Invite help

I was really leaning towards doing my own invites, monogram on top on cardstock with matching ribbon, but Im trying to be honest with myself & I think Im going to end up spending more time and money then I need to.
Im going for the whole spring flower theme...ya know, pinks and greens...roses, hydrangeas and peonies...
Do you like either if these invites?

They're so different, hard to choose.

I like the floral embellished one (the second one). It's different and pretty and unique! If I received that as an invitation, I would be like 'WOW!'. So that's how I made my choice.

I love the second one too. Have you tried the craft stores, like AC Moore or Michaels. AC Moore gives you weekly coupons too if you sign up for their circulars. I've seen something like this in Target too. Do an online search to compare the prices.

I'm in the same boat as you, I just have to get it right first.

I did make my own attachement cards for my STD's. It would've cost me another $30 bucks if I got them through the company. I only paid $5.99 for the cardstock 50 sheets and was able to do 2 on each sheet. Good Luck!!
