So happy about our invitations!

We got our invitations PDF form from a vendor on Etsy. We decided to look on Etsy because were quoted $7/invite when we were asking for quotes elsewhere and that wasn't including the accommodations card or reception card. These came to $3/invite!!! We are soo not DIYers but they're not difficult and I couldn't see spending over $800 on something that people lose and throw out. But we also didn't want just any invitation...Pics are in my album!

Re: So happy about our invitations!

here they are! I got the pocketfolds from cardsandpockets.com, metallic paper from thepapermillstore.com and did all of the printing at my old college haha- With postage included (69cent stamps on outside and the RSVP stamp), we are only paying like $2.71 an invite or something like that!

the picture makes the thing on the outside of the pocetfold look blue lol, but it is all the same color purple :)

PS: I love the way you assembled the belly band around the invites! I didn't even think to put them on that way- Your way makes more sense though because when you open the invite you don't have to turn the invite around to read it like you do with mine lol

Yes! This is so funny! I love the way that they look! Mine is probably more because I'm printing them at staples but now I'm intrigued! The printer had no problem with the card stock??

I had the belly band the other way and when I showed someone that was the way that they put it back and I was like GENIUS!! Haha

no the printers were fine with the cardstock at my school- I put it in the self-feed tray and just kept an eye on it.. Minuteman Press is another place that can do printing for you and I found that they were more affordable than staples was. I was going to print through them before I decided to do it myself
