There's a huge price range. It depends a lot on what kind of printing method you choose too -- thermography, letterpress, engraving, flat. I chose to do letterpress and that meant that I also needed to buy more expensive paper because letterpress requires VERY thick paper. I also had a calligrapher do my invites, which is more expensive, so I spent about $1200 on 100 invites. It's insane. But there are companies like American Weddings (I think that's the name) where they'll do engraving for less than $500 for 100 invites.

Originally I was going to order Encore invitations. For 120 of them it was going to set us back $1200.
Then we fell in love with the silk scroll invitations on whiteaisle.com
For 125 invitations it cost us Approx. $550

we paid $360 for 175 invites. the calligraphy will be about $240. i got them from Paula at You're Invited to Celebrate Inc, she's on Jericho Tnpke, downstairs from In the Mix dj. she has been wonderful, i brought her a pic of what i wanted and she matched the price of the catalog, hope this helps
