Where else would I go or how would I print my invites and RSVP cards?

    Hey Lady I ran into the same issue last week! I was planning on using my printer at work, but it wouldn't print on the paper as small as the RSVP's are. I ended up buying a printer that was recommended on the DIY board of the knot during a black friday sale at best buy for $50. From what I read, $50 is a lot less then what it would cost to have them printed at a kinkos or staples type place.

    Go to a printing place like Kinkos and see what they can do.

    Kinkos can get really pricey, especially if you need it quickly. I'd buy a printer...at least you could also use it after the wedding!

    Kinko's can't print on anything that is smaller than an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper. I used to work there, so I know this for a fact. They could print something (if you already had it typed up and ready to go) on their own paper stock and then cut it down to the size you want them.

    We printed our own invites using our home ink jet HP printer. They turned out just fine. You just have to adjust the printer settings and have some patience. But it sure did save us a whole bunch of money for something that just gets thrown in the trash anyway.
