I have read a few forum posts here and saw some great sites on where to purchase card stock and other invitation related items. I was thinking of trying to save some money and doing the invitations myself. I would like to have a pocket invite and order some card stock from a supplier within the GTA that will allow me to actually go in and look at their supply. I'm a bit nervous ordering online without having actually seen the product as I don't know if it will be the exact shade or shine I expect. And I know I can order samples but I also don't want to spend a lot of money reordering several samples. I am even open to buying an invitation kit (I already saw the ones from Micheal's and I don't really like them). My plan was: buy card stock, pocket folds, and envelopes and get them printed either at home (not sure if the quality will be great) or at Kinko's
So please let me know where I can find:
1) Place within the GTA that sells cheap card stock
2) Place within the GTA that sells cheap pocket fold cards
3) Place within the GTA where I can get invitation kits.
4) Place to print my invites
Re: please help with my DIY invitations
For card stock, you can get it at Michael's - it'll be even cheaper when you have a 40% off coupon which arrives by email every couple of weeks. Or you can buy the DIY kit and just add embellishments and the pocket folds.
For printing - Staples, Kinko's, The Printing House.
