invite stress

okay girls--- i am totally going crazy over invitations!!! grrr!!!!

ive been working with her-- i like them, i just dont omg i have to have them-- maybe ill never get like this

i just cant make up my mind-- then the more i think about it, im thinking how stupid am i to spend 750 on invitations that ppl are going to look at for 20 seconds, write the date and put in a draw to never look at again

not that its about budget really, bc god knows i havent hit my budget yet, i just keep going over, lets be serious, weddings are expensive


whats everyone thoughts on invite budgets?
splurge? save?

wheres eeryone getting there invites from?post pics for meee- help me get out of my invitation rut

I told you..I'm sending out post its since my dress budget is out the window. :)

honestly I love HER stuff but I think 750 is a lot for invitations that no one remembers.

I totally understand what you are saying. I got my preliminary invitation from her, she did EXACTLY what I asked for, but I wasn't floored. So I said to my FH, 'Do you like them?' to which he said, 'Yea, I like them.' So I said, 'Well, what can we do to them to make you love them??' to which he said, 'Ash...they're just an invitation. Paper. I won't ever love them.'

That kind of knocked some sense into me, but I TOTALLY see what you are saying. I honestly don't think you should break the bank on invitations, but if you aren't happy with them, maybe see if she can add a little more to them? Can we see them???



ETA: Nevermind, I just saw them in your album. I like them a lot!

Im working with her also. I have my preliminary design in an album, if you want to check it out. I absolutely fell in love with my invite, and it is actually totally under what I planned on spending. I think its crazy to spend so much money on invitations!! Thats why I chose to do the Layered invite rather than the pocketfold. I think you can cut some corners and lower the price, but its up to you what you are willing to give up! Good luck!

---

how much are your layered invites coming out too?

i have it at home--- its like 737 or something- but uhhh its the pocket invites and haha- i wish i knew--- not the stamps ill tell you that much haha


its just too much i think

i ughhhh-- i wish they were ordered already, i feel like they should have been and its driving me nuts!

Personally I decided to DIY and save $ on the invites. Pics are in my album. If you love them I'd say go for it, but if you dont maybe you should keep looking and try to save some money?

---

Wow, yours are amazing. I can't believe you did those yourself!

i just feel like they should have been ordered already and its totally stressing me outtttt

This is one area where we aren't really splurging too much. Yes, we could find a little cheaper but the ones we found are under the budget we had set for invites so we are happy. I am also not officially placing an order for them until I get a great discount code to use to make them even less expensive.

discount code - smart cookie!

where are you ordering them from?

I am one of those people who can just not justify spending lots of $ on invites. I know all of the invites I've gotten, I open, note the date, stick on the fridge, never look at them and then throw them away. I just can't see spending so much on something people will throw away. I got a DIY kit from Michaels and I actually really like them!
Its definitely a personal decision, but if you don't LOVE them then I wouldn't spend $$ on them.
