Please Post Who you are Using for your Invitations-and How Much?

Ok.. its time to tackle this task... I have procrastinated LONG enough!

I am looking for simple and INEXPENSIVE invitations-- either on line or from a printing shop.Who did you girls use? And how much did your invitations cost?

I need invitations with outer envelopes (w/ printed return addresses printed preferably), lined envelopes, and response cards. I am hopeing I can get about 175 invitations with all of that included for 300- 400 dollars.My total budget for invitations is about 500 and that includes postage plus I am hoping to do digital caligraphy for the outter envelope guest addresses.



Are on line invitations less expensive than printing shops in your experience?

Add another one to the list!

A bridal paperie-Judi
Located in LI. She is amazing, so sweet and works with you to stay within your budget. They keep cost down because they are the printers themselves

I am doing letterpress invitations, the print shop is located in Florida but I found them on Etsy. They include all custom design work at no cost and overall they are very affordable (for letterpress).

FM me if you're interested, I have referred another bride to them and she's very happy.

etsy.com has a ton of vendors and everything is hand made.

I have had three samples from three different vendors and i am having a hard time making up my mind.

You can definitely find something no matter what price range you are looking in.

Ok I am really a tard... What exactly is letterpress? and what is the alternative to that?

Also-- I have been trying to figure out what Etsy is exactly-- I was on teh website a few days ago and couldnt quite understand how it worked.

For those girls who used Tessa.. is she a vendor on here? how could I contact her or use her website.

Letterpress is an OLD technique where a mirror image of the invite is created and inked and fed through a press, imprinting the design on a thick paper. It's usually very expensive because for EACH color, the invite needs to be fed through the press (ie, 3 colors = three times through). The invitations come out incredible though....

Here's an example (not mine though)

My DOC Ryan (From Above and Beyond Events) is making them!

Ryan is my DOC too. I didn't know she makes invitations. Do you mind sharing some info on that with me? How much are they? What does she do? Do you have any pics of samples?
