Catholic/Christian Invitations

Hi Ladies,

Have any of you found Catholic or Christian wedding invitations that you plan on using? I don't mean just the wording, but anything wth a cross or other symbol, or some type of religious motif? I've found some that are ok, but there are so few out there!

I like this one from vistaprint, but its almost too simple...

    I couldn't find many that I liked, either!  I photoshopped my own and included a quote from Pope Benedict on the back that spoke of marriage.  (PIB)

    You could do a custom design on Vistaprint, too!  I've seen a lot of ladies do this successfully.  After my own wedding is done (66 days... wooohoo!!!!), I'd be more than happy to help you make something if you like... I know some photoshop basics!

    You could hunt around for graphics or motifs that you like and would like to include rather than trying to find a pre-made design that fits all your criteria.  Minted.com and WeddingPaperDivas.com are  my favorite sites to hunt for overall invitation design inspirations.

    I think I actually saw some at Michael's and Wal-mart, but I can't remember for sure...

    Another place to check... Do you have a Catholic store there?  Like one to buy rosaries and little prayer books?  I know they sell wedding program paper at a few of the Catholic specific stores here, so they may have invitations.

    catholicbride.com has some on their site I believe

    A lot of the other places that do invitations also usually have a category for religious invites. They may not have a huge selection, but there should be a few.

    <div>What a thoughtful offer and great suggestions!! I was avoiding going custom at this point, but I think you're right, it's probably the best option for what I want. Glad to hear Vistaprint can do a good job with it.  Never heard of minted.com, I'll have to check it out!</div>

    I don't think minted has any Christian or Catholic invitations, but the invitaitons and stationery on there sure are lovely.  Send me a PM in approximately 2 1/2 months and I'll be free of all this weddding stuff and will have ample spare time to help :)

    We never looked for Catholic explicit wedding invitations. We used standard, 100% ecru cotton stationery from Crane's and the engraving was charcoal black.

    Very very simple and elegant

    They have books with pages of wedding invites, every ethnic group and just about any feeling you wanted in your invites.

    Then I went to a store I know in NJ that discounts Crane's 30%

    and that shop referred me to a very inexpensive caligrapher in the next town.

    If anyone lives in that area, PM me and I'll give you the contacts
