I just ordered 8 samples from Wedding Paper Divas (promo code "freetry") for .66 cents!  I have no idea what I want.

I'd love to see your favorites!

    I put my grandma in charge of my invitations.  She's a killer scrapbooker and makes all her own cards for Christmas, etc.

    We ended up buying a kit from Michael's. My original colors were going to be cobalt blue with orange flowers/accents, so we chose these:



    I actually liked these ones better, and after buying my dress, I decided not to do blue for my bridesmaids dresses, but plum.  If I had known I would have bought these:




    Either way, it was important to my grandma that they co-ordinate with our wedding colors (which was difficult as I wasn't set on them!) But this gives her something to do :)

    <div>We're doing pocketfolds, too! We're making our own, kind of a mix of modern and traditional. Current design looks like this. (Sorryfor the blackouts)</div>

    These are my invitations.  However, we're going to wrap a paper doily around each and tie with jute and use kraft paper recycled envelopes like the image below it.  I thought they were perfect for our vintage rustic theme.

    I haven't chosen my invites yet but I'm likely going to order them from Vista Print. I'm having a hard time spending alot of money on invites as they usually end up in the trash (or recycle bin) not a week after the wedding.

    When are you ladies planning to order your invites? I'm not sure when we should be ordering them. What if there are last minute scheduling changes? Hopefully this isn't the case but I'm worried if I order them too early and something changes, I'd be stuck ordering new ones.

    I used VistaPrint.  My suggestion is to play and start creating them on there.  Then when there  is a Groupon deal, that's when you seize the opportunity to save money.  I got all of my invitations, reply cards and matching stickers for $49.
