Cardstock thickness

I'm planning on doing all my paper products and was wondering what card stock weight is good?  I have a tray feed printer so I want something that not to thick but is thick enough.  I'm trying to find single sheets of card stock to see what will work with my printer but I can't seem to find any.
Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    I am using 80lb for the "white" portion that I will be actually printing on and then 105lb for the invitation mat.

    I would recommend ordering from www.cardsandpockets.com. They offer low-cost samples and that way you can see if it will work in your printer.  They also have fantastic customer service.  Good luck!

    I'm using 80# for programs (I forgot what my invites are!)

    We ordered all of our paper from www.paperandmore.com. You can order samples from them to test out how the paper works with your printer.  They had my samples here within a few days.  I definitely recommend them! 

    We are using their already made pocketfolders, which are dark blue metallic 107# cardstock.  The inserts are the same weight, but pearl white metallic.  For the panel we are using a mat of pink metallic text paper and then the actual panel is pearl white text paper.
