Need help with invitations

So, since I am not the most creative of people, I have decided to buy my invitations. I went to the wedding coach and another two places to look at the invitations. You know..... 'get ideas' I almost fell off the chair when I looked at the prices they were trying to charge me and that was only for the invitation....envelopes were not included I am not cheap, but reallyyyyyy give me a break!!! I just can't justify spending that kind of money on paper that people might look at once or twice and then discard it

I am a Brooklyn bride and I was wondering if anyone could advice me on this? Any ideas? I have checked a few places online that are definitely more affordable, but I want a name of a store I can visit and see the actual product without having to wait for it to be mailed to me : ) I am looking for simple, clean lines. By the way....while looking for the invitations, I realized that the most simple the invitation is ....the more money they want to charge you

I had the same feeling. The ones I liked, companies wanted $10-15 each!! I am making mine for about $3-4 each. Because I had/have so much time I didn't mind waiting for the samples to be sent to me. Plus, I love getting fun mail.
