Help! I need to find one more thing for my DIY invitations

NilDap2014

I'm just about ready to assemble my DIY invitations but there is 1 more thing I have to buy.  Attached is the invite I am trying to recreate (our invites will not be pockets though).  The invitation will be 3 layers:  the gray backing, the white invitation, and the foil paper in between.  But I'm having a hard time finding foil or mirror paper that won't cost me an arm and a leg. Do you think foil wrapping paper will be okay?  Those aren't too expensive.  I am not a crafty person at all, so I'm not familiar with the tricks out there or if there is anything else that can give me the same look.  Please help!!

Wrapping paper would probably be ok since it's between two heavier weight layers... you might need more adhesive on it though since the edges will be more likely to curl up and get bent/wrinkled. 

I'm assuming you have a paper cutter to make your lines nice and straight and not get jagged scissor marks?

I wouldn't recommend foil wrapping paper, as it is hard to cut smoothly.  You can certainly try a few samples to see if it works, though.

Have you checked in the scrap booking supply area? They might have something, and it might be easier to work with.

How big do they need to be? Do they all have to be the same colour?

Oriental Trading (<-- clicky) offers a 30-sheet pack for $16, but it's different colours.

THIS STORE also has foil paper, $3.99 for 12 8.5x11 sheets.

I know I could come here for great advice.  I would like all of the sheets to be silver and the size would be 4 1/2" x 6 1/2".  And yes, we're borrowing a paper cutter from a friend.   Thank you HisGirlFriday13 for the link.  I'm going to go with the second website and order from there.

Thank you so much everyone for your input!!!!

50 sheets of silver foil 12 x 12 scrap book paper $20 http://www.capaper.com/product/LA02OSFO/12-x-12-Cover-50---Silver-Foil.html
Are those 5.5 x 8.5? You'd get 100 invites from the 50 pack.
