Where did you get your invites?

Maybe I am just being too picky, but I can't find invites that I really really like..
I have looked at Target, Wal-Mart, JoAnn Fabrics and Michaels.  Target has a style I like but in green and I would need pink so I googled the company and they have lots of cute ones but they are expensive.  I originally was going to put together pocket invites from Archivers but that is not really in our budget.
Where did you get your invites? Any other suggestions of where I can look?
My color is watermelon.

    I had a hard time finding invites I liked too.  I'm not a DIY kind of girl, so I knew I pretty much just wanted to order them.  I finally decided on a style I really liked on weddingpaperdivas.com and ordered them, even though it was a tad over budget. Smile  Good luck!

    DIY from Anchor Paper Express.  In hindsight, I could have gone with a packaged invite and would have been a lot happier net/net!

    I did DIY from Paper Depot. A lot of work...but worth it for us!

    You could also try Etsy and see if someone would create exactly what you are looking for!

    Check out etsy.com and you can find someone to design them for your for pretty cheap.  I got someone to design mine for $40 (invite, directions/map, rsvp, acommodations) and sent me the PDF's and then I printed them myself at Kinkos.

    We're DIY with plain invites from Michaels, but I've heard of a lot of girls buying theirs from Etsy.com, you could give that at try!

    We got ours from Michaels with 40% off coupons.  The DIY ones weren't that hard to do.

    We made ours on Vistaprint.com.  They have a ton of templates, so I'm sure you could find something in watermelon.  It was very easy (they have tons of templates), really inexpensive ($250 for 200 invites, including upgraded envelopes and reply cars), and they look great.  You can also get matching address labels and we got our placecards from there, too.  

    Good luck!

    We also did/are doing DIY from Anchor Paper.  But I just noticed that the MIchaels (in Roseville) has a done of the BRIDES stuff on clearance!  Some in bright green too.

    One of FI's friends is doing ours, but I did look into this vendor.   I have a friend who used her and really liked the final product she ended up with.

    We're ordering ours through Invitations for Less, which is a couple in Minnetonka that works out of their home.  They have the same sample books you would find in any other invitation place, but their prices are much better.  They offer 20-30% off everything.  We are getting 175 invitations, lined envelopes, reply cards, and ceremony cards for just over $300.

    Invitations for Less... If you give them a budget to stay within, they will show you items within your budget.

    I would assume they would - I went in knowing which invitations I liked in my price range, so it wasn't really an issue.

    You can see all of their invitations on their website, with prices.  Just remember that it's 20-30% off the listed price on the website.

    I haven't ordered mine yet but am thinking of going with Exclusively Weddings.  They have some great looking invites and you can order free samples to get a good idea of what it will look like and what the actual quality is before you order. The prices seem to be pretty reasonable too.

    You should check these templates out: http://www.downloadandprint.com/category/invitation-templates/

    Not sure if you could have VistaPrint print them, but it's an idea...

    Check out exclusively weddings .com.  I ordered 150 invites, reception cards and response cards for a total of $200.  That includes printing and shipping, plus they have a 25% off coupon code now thru April 18
