My Invites... Honest opinions please **EDITTED FOR PRICING**
So below are my invites, but I'm starting to think they don't look like invitations to a wedding but to some other event. What do you think?
*the invite have navy blue ink for the design, I know it kind of looks black in the pictures
*I haven't done the RSVP cards or envelopes yet

Oh no! The pictures are too large... They are in my albums though
I did 100 pocketfolds for $256 and this was with me over ordering paper. This is what I did:
LCIpaper.com:
50 8 1/2 x 11 pastel blue vellum: = $9.50
100 8 1/2 metallic beargrass paper = $20.00
100 4 7/8 x 6 7/8 Serene blue paper = $21.00
50 12 x 12 Serene blue paper = $14.00
100 RSVP envelopes = $13.90
100 A7 (5 1/4 x 7 1/4) = $24.00
Envelopers.com
100 5 1/4 x 7 1/4 Star Dream Iris Blue Pocketfolds = 139.00
ebay.com
100 yards of 5/8' antique blue ribbon (seller: milestoneoccasion) = $10.75
144 blue 3mm rhinestones = $4.00
Vectorstock.com
2 images for invitation design and decal from user WaD = $2.00
Office Max
50 copies of invitations = $25.00
GRAND TOTAL: $283.15
I actually could have saved more money too because I only used 50 sheets of the metallic paper and I'm not using the vellum. I had to repurchase my outer envelope because it was too snug. I had to reorder 'jumbo envelopes from LCIpaper.com for $20.'
Also, google coupons for LCIpaper.com. I found some that gave me free shipping.
Feel free to FM if you need any help. I have all the the weights of the paper I used and they went through my ink jet printer just fine. I found the only one that I had trouble with was the metallic paper because the ink didn't dry well (I used office max to print on the metallic paper because toner is not wet).
