What do you think will be cheaper?

Should I have my programs made or should I make them myself? The cardstock I purchased is a heavy burgandy colored paper that has a really nice shimmer to it. They are 50 cents each and I want to make about 50 of them. I also plan to use a satin or organza ribbon. But Im not sure if it will be more expensive to make them on my own or have them made. What do you think?

I would attempt to make it yourself. SOMETIMES, making them yourself can be harder on you than the whole money issues (especially if you're not crafty) I did that with my unity candle. I began making it. I had all these big ideas then I said forget it. It was easier to buy one.

Make it yourself. You will appreciate & admire them more b/c you did it yourself.

In my case, it would be cheaper to have someone make them for me because I would mess up so many it would cost alot to replace them.

Yeah making them yourself, will be cheaper. But as long as you have the time and your creative.

I didn't have the time, so I ordered them the came very nice. Here's a picture of the style I had

I had planned on printing right on the cardstock using black ink. It will be a trifold kind of pamphlet. Nothing fancy because I think the paper and ribbon will be fancy enough. Do you think this will be ok? I'll make a practice on tonight and take pics.

I would try it and see how it goes. If you have the time, this sounds easy enough to do.
