I want nice invitations but not too pricy(as they eventually will be thrown in the garbabe by guests).

Any suggestions/expereinces with reasonable invites in the Chicago and surrounding suburb areas?

    We ordered and designed ours from David's Bridal website.  We ordered 150 and spent $230 on the invitations, labeled evenelopes, reception card, rsvp cards and labeled return enevelopes.  The great thing about them is that you can order free samples from them, which typically come in 5-7 business days.  This really helped us as we were able to see the real invite and what we wanted to put together and what was eay.  We went with a beautiful invitation that was mainly folding and no bows or assembly needed. 

    They also always have discount codes online for the invitations as well.

    Good Luck Laughing

    Agreed. I was actually surprised at how affordable their invites were. Right now we're deciding between them and using our 50% off invites discount from the tux company.

    so far the only one with Indian Pakistani western African, Middle Eastern style invitations design cards collection. prices were extremely low.

    Good Luck!
