Invitation question

Hello ladies,

So I want my dad to make my invitations.  We designed them and it's exactly what I want :)  I was gonna have him design one then I don't know where to go from there...scan them on a home computer and print up the rest or take the completed invitation to like a kinkos (or I don't know...if anyone does, let me know) and have them printed up.  Also, would this be more inexpensive than going out and buying them?  Any info would be greatly appreciated!
There are millions of people in the world, but in the end, it all comes down to one.... Wedding Countdown Ticker

    I just DIY'd my invites and I designed the spreads myself (PIB). I designed them in Photoshop and saved them as a PDF. I then took them to the print shop my work uses - Sir Speedy - and they came out just wonderful! For my printing so far, I paid $150 for 200 of each sheet (2, 5-1/2" x 11", 2 page spreads - one of which was printed front and back) and 200 3.5" x 5" reply cards. Sorry if that's confusing! You can see the images in my bio for more clarity. I just took my direction cards and Sunday bruch invitation files there this AM! I'm anticipating another 100 or so for those.

    Overall, I found going the DIY route saved me a lot of money, as the invites I was looking at were pretty pricey. It took a lot of time and many headaches but I think will be worth it in the end! GL
