I am getting married on November 29, 2008. I just sent out the save the dates. If I choose not to DIY and want someone else to do it, when should I start looking for invitations? Also, do you think its cheaper to go get the invites done somewhere or to buy the pocketfold and have a printer do it? I know the cheapest way would be to do it myself but my computer is old and my printer is pretty crappy. Plus I reall really want the invites to raised print. Can a regular at home printer do raised print? I just love sliding my finger across the invitiation and feeling the print. Any suggestions for a place for invites or a printing place? Which would be cheaper? When should I go? I havent even gotten bridesmaids dresses yet!! I feel very overwhelmed I really really appreicate all your help I would be lost without this website!!

Re: When Should I start Looking for Invitations?
I'm not sure if DIY actually saves you money, I would think the best thing about DIY is you get exactly what you envision. A family member of mine did their own invites and it ended up costing just as much and they were so stressed with completing them on time....I'm definitely ordering them...I think you're fine if you order them in the summer and send them out in September.

You should try Invitations by Dawn. They have really nice invites. I would start looking now cause they need to be sent out about 2-3 months b4 the wedding and you don't want to get hit with rush fees. But you should figure out your color scheme to see if you want it to coincide with the invites. You are ok for now but don't wait too long because you want to be able to relax a few days before your big day. Good Luck!

Re: When Should I start Looking for Invitations?
I am a DIY and I save a lot of my with the invitations I wanted. Take a look in my album. I was charge 2000 for just the pocketfold, invite( on regular paper, RSVP and white envelope. As you can see I have embellish it more and it cost me less, and I enjoyed doing it. No your computer can not do raised print. I researched different companies for raised print and it was too expensive. using a regular laser jet printer would be good. I love the way mine came out. I would start looking and just having an idea of what you want. Just take your time with everything. If youneed any help let me know, I would be glad to help you just FM me.
