my fiance and i decided early on that we were going to buy invitations from Micheals and print them at home. we also wanted custom invites that weren't going be like anyone elses, but were also simple. we bought an embossing kit a few months ago so we could emboss plain invites with fall leaves, trees, and acorns.
yesterday we finally bought the actual paper invites and got a super awesome deal!!
the box of 100 plain ivory invites and envelopes originally cost $25 (which is a good price anyway) and was on sale for $18. the box was opened and we weren't even sure if all 100 were there...so we got a further discount and ended up getting them for $11.30:)
i love a good deal!
