I spent $350ish, for 150 invites.

Take a look on invitationsbydawn.com, they're great.

I spent $227.00 from Einvite.com - for 100 invites, response cards & envelopes (that price includes shipping - which i think, once you hit $200 is free).

I haven't done invites yet, but I've looked into prices. It can get extremeley expensive. I want to keep it a reasonable as possible. I want nice ones, but I'm not going crazy. I'd rather spend on other things.

we totally overpaid on our invites---i'm not a rockefeller by any means--but we couldn't find anything else we liked...until we found a rather expensive book from Elite Weddings...so we got suckered and paid $850 for 100 invites.

Re: what is everyone spending on invites???

we need 125 invites.
i'm going to do a pocketfold invite with a 'regular' invite instead of DIY that part.
the invites we love are $75.80 for $100 (it's less than $100 for 125)
the pocketfolds we got for $0.72 each

we'll probably print our own Reception card, we'll get the directions from the Fox Hollow... and prob do free postcards from vistaprint (but pay the $5 for our own design.

we're hoping to keep it under $300 for everything.(not including all of the postage but some)

We're still going back and forth between a few styles, but our budget is no more that $300 for approx. 85-100 invites.

I've been considering this myself. I really want the pocketfolds, but can't seem to find them for under $500-$600. I don't want to spend more than $300 for 100-125 invitations (not sure on the exact numbers yet, FH keeps adding & removing people from the list )

Re: what is everyone spending on invites???

we're diying our pocketfolds. the pocketfolds and invite mats cost a little over $150. we were gonna use plain white paper but now we're using metallic paper so that'll be about another $60-$90. with envelopes that we bought already...everything is about $300

too darn much.

I really want pocketfolds and I am willing to do them myself, but they are still getting expensive.

So far- for 150 DIY pocketfolds with postage- just under $650
