Hi ladies, I posted over on my month board but I wanted to post here as well...
I was doing some research, trying to figure out if I want to do my invites the same way I am doing my save-the-date cards. For my save the dates, I ordered paper from the papermillstore.com and then I designed my own STDs in Photoshop/Illustrator, and had them printed at a local printing press. It cost about .30 cents a print.
How much are invitations supposed to cost? I looked on some websites that had great designs and they ended up being over $400-500 for the whole order of invites, envelopes, response cards etc. I calculated on my own that I could design my own invites and response cards and have them printed, and it would cost me about $270.00 for all the paper including envelopes and printing. Is this a good price? Is there someone who knows a website that does the whole-shabang cheaper than this? I'm just looking for regular panel cards with a design, a regular response card and regular envelopes. I saw "budget invitations" on the Knot's planning area but they were not that great even though they were dirt cheap. (Mostly white designs, and I wasn't a huge fan of the fonts and styling)
What do you guys think? How much are you spending on invitations or if you don't want to give that info do you think I am paying too much to do it on my own(give or take $270)? Any help would be appreciated!!
