My mom found this invite on Etsy, and I love it! It is the invite with the orange flourish on ivory cardstock with a pink background. I will have the orange flourish be lighter to match the tangerine color, and have a chocolate background instead of pink! Let me know what y'all think! http://tinyurl.com/n73ovj

    I really like those!  I think the flourishes (is that the plural form?) on the sides are much more interesting and detailed than a lot of the ones you see.  These will look great in your colors!

    pretty! but i'm impressed you're spending more than $1k on invites....$155 for 50 is steep to me!

    i just remembered you mentioned something about a 400+ guest list! they're really pretty....but if you wanted to DIY, you could probably do it for less than $3 each....but i know sometimes saving money isn't as important as just getting it done!

    I did think about DIY, but how would I get the flourish design? I could have the invites printed at a local printing shop I suppose. The $5 per set is awesome I think. For $5 I get the invite, envelope seal, the RSVP card, and a map card/Thank You card. Postage for sending the invite sets to me is also included in the $5. Could I make all that for cheaper than $5?

    i think you could. they sell flourishes on i-stock photo, and sometimes you can find paintshop brushes for free.but i spend $400 on shoes, and $65 on invites.

    I do have a 400+ guest list, but I only need 150 invitations. I have a lot of families on the list with 4-6 people average per family I would guess. It seems lopsided to me, but I counted three times! I guess I just have a weird guest list. Should the STD match the invite, or is it ok if they don't have the same design on them? This is the STD I am liking at the moment. http://tinyurl.com/n7724w

    your save the dates can be anything. and some people don't do them at all. you can use them as a preview of sorts, of the vibe of your wedding...which is what we did. but you can also have something totally different.
