I've always been a big fan of wedding paper divas but I don't like their invites. My wedding is 2.5 months away.

Re: Wedding invitations

I used Minted.com...highly recommended! It took a while to go through the proof process though because I was making small changes each time.

And I used the free guest address printing on envelopes - just be sure to scroll through each envelope! Some of our friends' names are too long and the font we picked didn't allow for super long names, so we had to change fonts.

I love the paper they print on (did not upgrade), and a bonus is that they add velum that you put on top of the invite. Other places may be cheaper, but paper quality was poor.

I also didn't love WPD's invites but I bought our STDs from there.

Not to add to your stress, but it took me quite a while to assemble my invites (I hand stamped all the envelopes with a custom stamp), and I mailed my out a little over 2 months prior to our wedding.

We did wedding paper divas the foil ones with the shimmer. So much prettier in person. They go with my color scheme, blush and gold too.

We are using MagnetStreet. They are online also. I liked their invites a lot more than WPD, for our style.

I used Shine invitations. I found them on Etsy. They shipped really fast I think from the time I ordered them I had them in less than 2 weeks.

We used cards and pockets. We did our own invitation but purchased card stock, envelopes, etc. Many styles to choose from and very affordable. Invites in our album.

I just placed my order for my invites. I did it through Etsy, but their website is http://jenezedesigns.com/ ... so far she has been great to work with and all the reviews are amazing. I really wanted the pocket invites, but everywhere I looked they were too expensive, but her pricing was great! Can't wait to get my proofs!
