Cost to print invites

I really need to make a decision on invites and can't decide between DIY or just ordering them complete. I want pocket invites, but the only way I can even begin to afford them is if I order them from Cards and Pockets. Have any of you printed your invites yet? Can you share with me the approximate cost of printing, and whether you had cards and pockets do it or if you took it somewhere else? I do not even know where I would be able to take them. I do not have a printer at home, so that is not an option for me. We will have between 75 and 100 invites, as well as reception, response, and accomodation cards. Thanks ladies, I really appreciate your help!!

    I'm going with C&P. The cost of your invites solely depends on your paper, quantity, and printing needs. (They will even assemble them for you if you want!)

    I suggest getting your print ready PDFs and the necessary info to them (there are instructions on how to do all of that, and the email address to send them to). They'll give you a price quote, and then you can make your decision.
  • I wish I would have known about Cards & POckets before I ordered mine whole, but I am kind of glad to have them taken care of for me too. They are even printing the return address on there for us!

  • I am having my wedding invites printed (letterpress - so I can't do that myself) but I was able to purchase a design on etsy for $12 and then it was printed by CatPrint.com for my shower. I believe that was about $20 for 100 cards (Less, even. More like $17, which included shipping and lightweightcardstock)

    Quality was great, fast turnaround, and we are very happy with the results. So, For about $32, you can have 100 custom designed invites printed (but that obviously does not include an exterior pocket or any additional cards.)

    We ordered our invitations, RSVP's, hotel cards and reception cards from Catprint. 

    For $100.26 (with a 15% off coupon (thanks SewinLove)) we got:

    35 invitations
    35 RSVPs
    35 hotel cards
    35 reception cards
    All on heavy linen card stock
    All double sided with color printing and full bleeds on both sides
    We got free hard copy proofs (first ones are always free)
    7 day shipping

    I will be getting my hard copy proofs any day now and can let you know what I think when I get them if you want. 

    ETA: for spelling and to say you would have to get the pockets from somewhere else so not sure if this would save you money or not.
