Invitation Recommendations

I am starting to look at invitations and was wondering if anyone had vendor recommendations. 

Thanks in advance!

    I liked working with LizSage from Etsy on our pocketfolds.  We were able to completely personalize them and still had a hand in some parts of the DIY facets of the project.

    I used Starshaped Press for my invitations and Crystal Kluge for my map design.  I had very positive positive experiences with both of them and was very happy with my end product!

    I got mine from Hello! Lucky. They have been great to work with and have a huge selection. I had them customize one of their invitation suites to EXACTLY what I was looking for!

    I bought our invitations from Cards & Pockets. I also did them myself, of course I had help though. However, I printed them, assembled them, cut them....the works. It wasn't hard, it was just a PITA. If you're good with that kind of stuff, go for it. However, that's one place that I wish I would have paid to have done.

    Cards & Pockets does do that though, you can either order the pieces and DIY or you can have them do the invitations too.

    They even have coupons every once in a while.

    Etsy seller Customized Stationary designed mine.  Amanda was really helpful and extremely quick to answer my emails and make any changes that I needed.

    I bought the pockets and paper from Cards and Pockets.

    I second Amanada from Customized Stationary.  She is currently making our save the dates and I'm still amazed how she took a save the date design I found from another website and made any changes I asked without a problem.  She also is doing our invitations for us which I have seen a rough draft and LOVE them!  We are printing them ourselves, but she will assemble invitations if you ask.  I found her prices to be pretty reasonable compared to other invitation designers.

    Costco!!!

    I know, I know, it's not the most chic store, but they have a wide variety of options and mine have not stopped getting compliments!

    Check them out! www.costco.com (I do not work for Costco, I am just a very satisfied customer)

    Look into www.afineletter.com. They're a great company to work with.  Melanie is fast, and very attentive to detail and very inexpensive with a lot of beautiful styles.
