Invites?

Who are you using and what is your budget?  Anyone have an etsy recommendation?

Our budget is $600 for invitations, response cards, etc.  Ideally I would like to find a nice letterpress or thermography style invite.  I like some that I have found on weddingpaperdivas.com, but would love to hear where you are all getting your invites!

    I'm using paper+pinafore on Etsy.

    I'm spending about $600 and getting invitations, thank yous, menu cards and programs.

    Not letterpressed. I'd love to do letterpressed, but I couldn't find anything in my budget.

    Check out Etsy though, there are people on there that do letterpress and it's generally cheaper than online. I've also found that people are MUCH more willing to make changes (especially color, I know weddingpaperdivas charges for color changes other than what they offer). I've made like nine million changes to my invitations and it hasn't cost anything extra.

    Also, bella figura has GORGEOUS letterpress designs, they were just waaay out of my budget!

    We also used evite.com through Costco.  They are very pretty invitations, we also got response cards and the return addresses printed on them.  It came with an etiquette card, etc.  They are very friendly for cost and the company was great when we ordered both the samples and invitations.  No mistakes and very timely shipping.  They also have a thank you section, etc.  For us, I couldn't see spending more than $250 on all of that when not many people will remember them after this is over (except for family) and they'll end up in the trash afterwards anyway. 

    I'd highly recommend them and use them again for other cards/invites.

    P.S.  You don't need to be a member of Costco to use this site.

    I used mygatsby.com for the pocket invites/envelopes (thermography) they came in 2 weeks.  I made the inserts (response card, directions, accmd cards) with paper from paper source.  Total cost was $250 (an additional $25 for paper cutter, double sided tape, other supplies).  I ordered 75 invites.

    I'm making my invites using paper and cardstock from Paper Source.  They have a great selection and tons of colors.  Going there tonight, actually!
