I think Ill just email people, its free! This is sooo expensive any way you look at it! Im definitely planning on designing my own with my coworker who is a graphic designer. Materials aren't cheap though either.

Mine were about $400 for 150 invites, RSVP and Reception cards, including the lining on the inner envelope. They were thru Birchcraft, but I used a little stationary store in Bay Terrace and I got 30% off regular price. So I think it was a good deal.

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.



Ditto to that. They get thrown away by everyone else except you and few close family/friends.

We spent about $110 for 100 invites. We kept it simple with a seal and send and they are beautiful!

i am not really a fair person to judge this but I spent about $350.00 for 80 invites (pocket fold) with seals, bands, hotel cards, direction cards, response, both envelopes printed, menu's, programs, seating cards and some odds and ends. NOW saying this I got a deal since I design for a living and work for a print shop. BUT if I didn't I would of spent the same amount regardless and just did less extras or scaled down with the invite.

As people say - you look - you read- you toss out. This goes for everything paper oriented at your wedding.
