If this is to personal then you don't have to answer... But roughly how much are you planning on/or spent on invites??

Re: Invites

I'll be the first one and say our budget was $500.

Re: Invites

Our budget was $500 originally but I went way over because I decided on letterpress. In total, considering postage, calligraphy, and invites, I believe it will cost us about $1100 for 100 invites.

Re: Invites

I really don't want to go over $400 for the cost of the actual invites, not including postage. I may be willing to go up to $450, because I do want lined envelopes and I'm going to be using computerized addressing on the main envelopes.

I'm totally starting to stress over this since Tessa posted her base prices, and pocketfolds are going to be way over my budget. Luckily I only need 100 at most, but still

Have you thought about making the pocketfolds yourself? That might save you $ and you'll end up getting what you want

Re: Invites

It started at $250 but once I saw Tessa's stuff I decided to hell with the budget! And spent around $450.

Re: Invites

I spent about a total of $325 - wasn't worth it to me to spend much more on something everyone just throws away...

I've debated it, but I don't have access to a printer capable of doing the invites myself, so I would probably still need her printing services at least. Push comes to shove, maybe I'll opt for self-assembly. Thank you though!

Re: Invites

My original was about $400 but I decided I'll find more money from somewhere after seeing Tessa's post yesterday because you can barely get pocketfolds for that much when you need about 100. I have been staring at her site all day and I'm thinking about maybe doing the regular invitation and the stacked response, accomodation, etc in the little envelope with the bow.. but I don't know if that would even end up being much cheaper. I have just heard that the cost goes way up with the pocketfolds. FH is ready to kill me bc they are going to get thrown out

Re: Invites

I have estimated that our invites are going to cost just over $400...I am just waiting to finalize the guest list to get the final cost.

I just ordered my invites I paid $308 for 175 invites.

Re: Invites

Around $550 for the invites and everything that comes with them, plus postage.
