Congratulations, that’s a good price. That template is cute! I made our invites and a few extra pieces of scrapbooking paper here and there really add up! I think I spent more like $120, with some leftovers, for probably 125 or so invites.

It’s crazy how much people will spend on the invitations and they end up being thrown away. I don’t know anyone except for the bride or maybe the mother of the bride I’m guessing, who would keep the wedding invitation. Every wedding invitation I’ve received, I’ve thrown out after the wedding.

For my sister’s bridal shower, I used to website Zazzle.com to pick out a design for her invitation. It ended up being $73.67 for about 60 invites (including the envelopes), which wasn’t too bad.

When my husband proposed he wrote me a letter with a puzzle piece at the bottom saying I was “the final piece he needed to complete his life”. When I opened the puzzle box, my ring was in it! It was very sweet, so we carried that theme through to our invitations and we had our invites turned into puzzles. they came in individual boxes and we printed labels and tied with raffia. They were still about $200 but they were PERFECT!

Right on! I think spending big money on invitations is silly (I’d much rather spend the money on food or a veil). DIY all the way!

Good job with the invitations. I worked for a year at a company that would organized weddings (and provide everything for them) and was shocked to see how much they charge and how many people cannot be bothered to use their brains and do some basic math 😀

Instead of getting ripped off, you managed to solve your problem and save money. Nice job 😉

Handmade invitations are definitely a money saver, and with today’s software, they look almost as good.

I am glad I am not in the printing business, they must have taken a huge hit financially when all of the technology started to improve.

Awesome! I think I’m going to throw my wife a big anniversary party, but definitely do it on the cheap. I will be making the invitations this way, because I remember our announcements costs something absurd like $400, but my FIL was insistent they be sent out.
