  What kind of invitiations are you looking for? Are you looking for something modern or traditional?
  
  I know that some girls have had a good experience ordering from parekhcards and perhaps one other whose name escapes me right now. 
  
  There is also the option of DIY for your invitations which is what my husband and I for ours. It takes time for sure, but we got what we wanted exactly and it made it more personal to us. If you want to go this route, make sure that you have enough time and plan things out very carefully. It is a tedious process but also a very rewarding one!

  DIY sounds awesome but I don't think I can do so many invitations!  I definitely give your props for being able to do so!  That's awesome!
  
  I'll look into that site.  I want modern/traditional if that makes sense LOL.  Traditional to make the parents happy but still clean and classy to  make us happy...
  
  Ahhh the joys of wedding planning!

  We ordered samples from ParekhCards and got them in less than 10 days. It really helps to have the cads in your hands.
  
  Just a quick tip, when ordering samples from them, order a many at once. They will not charge you shipping on your first sample order. Get a bunch and then decide. Looking at them on the computer is fine, but running your fingers across a textured paper is so much more helpful.
  
  Another tip,
  I don't know your budget and don't want to come off as offensive, but mailing invites can get pricey! Pick out some samples and run down to your post office so you can get an idea of what you are getting into. Certain mailers that are considered not the standard shape (square, elongated rectangle) will be rather expensive to mail out, the least expensive would be the standard envelop size.
  
  I saw some of my samples were about .60 cents, while others were $1.80 each. When you are on a bit of a budget, a couple hundred dollars here and there does add up.
  
  Take care!

  Oh cool thanks for that tip on the samples!  I will definitely order a bunch and get the postal pricing too.  I definitely don't have money to throw away LOL
