Re: invites-how much

Well I paid
0.60 cents for each poket fold at Mygatsby sale X 100 is $60.00
I paid $20.00 for 50 invitations at Michaels which came with envolopes, RSVP cards and RSVP envelop.-I bought 2 so that was $40.00
I paid 6 for a $1.00 for Tiffany blue cardstock for the other ribbons which was $22.00
I paid 0.30cents for rhinestone buckles X 100 is $30.00
I paid 3.00 for the ribbon
So I paid for 100 invitations $155.00

Re: invites-how much

If I find something I really like that I can DIY, I will, but I am budgeting $500 for the invites, max.

Re: invites-how much

be careful about diying invited b/c you could very easily spend more money and too much effort into it than if you were to just buy invitations.... i plan on getting cheap ones online

Re: invites-how much

i'm thinking of going through ann's bridal bargains they are very reasonable and there are a ton of styles... i think i'm going to get the seal and send ones... the only thing about that i don't know about is the direction card.... how would i stick that in unless i seal the sides as well

any way...... here is the link

good luck

what is cool about them too is that you can order samples free.... they only let you order a few at a time but you can keep ordering if you like.... i think i got 7 orderes of invite samples so far..

And yes be very careful on DIY invites they can get way above budget very fast!

Re: invites-how much

I'm in the same boat. I have to get to Michaels to see what kind of invite they have. When I went to the invitation place when my mom suggested the invites were like 150 for aout 100 of them (for the e-party). I have the invites in my Wedding Stuff album if you want to see them. I'm still debating which to do - DIY or just buy them.
