Well I like them both a lot. It seems like too much to spend though. I would choose the second one based on the price.

These look like they could be easy diy invites. You should at least try. You need a heavy cardstock, a good printer and some time and patience, but they would probably come out just as beautiful. Just a thought. Good luck

I like Elite, but voted for Birchcraft because of the price. Everyone just throws the invite away.

thanks!!!! I am seriously thinking about printing them myself!! especially since if I use the bronze cardstock then they can't be thermographed anyway (even by the professionals!! so at least they won't look like I did them myself.....and I will seriously save some $$$.....I just wonder if I can find reception & response cards in the bronze cardstock. I guess I'll be on the rampage searching for that now!!

thanks for your help....and the good luck wishes....I will need them!!

If you take the card stock to the printer they will cut them for you to whatever size you need. I used to do this for my business and they charge you very little if anything. You can probably get 4 response cards per piece.

Try putting 'Wholesale Cardstock' into a search online and see what you end up with. Other than that I usually would buy at Michaels and Staples.

thanks!!! since you said that you you used to do it for your business, I figured maybe there was a vendor you'd like to throw some business to. but thank you again for all of your helpful advice.....sometimes I feel like I don't have the energy for DIY projects.....but if saves me some $$$ it's worth it!! have a good night!
