Is it worth it???

Im all for the DIY but is it worth it to make your own invitations having to put everything together or are you better off to just buy them ????

I want something like this

it may be cheaper money wise to make them yourself, while it wont take as much time to have htem made.

I have seen some like that for 4-6 per invite, so you could be looking at 400-600 for invites. If you purchase the pocketfolds you can get them for 1.25, so 125 for the folders, then the card stock is pretty cheap. So I dont know.

I intend to make my own as a personal preference, because I dont want to spend 1k on invites that will probably be thrown out. So to me, its worth it.

We made our own invitations, but it was a lot of work! Saved money, but don't know if it was worth all the work in the end.

Personally DH and I thought it was completely worth it to make our own invites... it allowed us to create precisely what we wanted for a fraction of the cost. We also were able to tie-in elements (like fonts, graphics etc) into our other DIYs

I actually did my own invites for our engagement party and they came out nicer that so many wedding invites. Now i cant find a wedding invite to top the engagement invite. Who would have thought that would happen?? I liked doing my own because i was able to customize them just the way we wanted.

there's a listing on ebay where the pocketfold invitations look just like the ones on mygatsby.com -- for half the price!
(I don't have the ebay seller info saved in favorites anymore )
