Show me your DIY Invitations and questions
Still not sure if we are going to order invitations online or not. I ordered a sample of the inexpensive ones I had found online..I knew they wouldn't be top of the line but they were super thin and not great looking...not sure if we want to spend so much $ on more expensive invitations even if it is only $200 or so...
how much of a PITA was it to do the DIY ones?
How long did it take you to make them?
Do most kits come with thank you notes, reception cards, repsonse, etc?
And what did they look like? Show me your pics!

Re: Show me your DIY Invitations and questions
These are mine. The total cost was about $60 and they came out really nice. I won't lie -- it was a pain in the butt, but totally worth it! The kit came with everything except lined inner envelopes -- I ordered those from an online company.

Re: Show me your DIY Invitations and questions
I'm in the process of working on mine as we speak so this is a great thread! For those creating your own invites, can I ask what size font you ladies are using?
Thanks
Maria

Thanks! I bought the kit at Michaels. You get enough for 50 invites (i had to buy 3 of them). They are 29.99 each, but if you use the 40% coupon, they are like $18. Can't beat that!

I bought them from C&J paper and I think they were $11.00 per set of 50 inners and 50 outers.

i got my diy from www.invitesite.com
i love them they are goregous. i love the way they came out they look like they cost $$$$
however they werent. i spent alot of time putting them together, gluing in the liners for all of the envelopes. printing, making sure everything was aligned right. it took me over two weeks to get everything done!!!! thank god that is over.
however i am that crazy and i would do it again if i had to.
