Hi!  Congrats on your engagement - I just got married in October.  The cost of invitations is unbelievable, isn't it??  What I did instead of going to a printer was create them myself.  Any good craft store (Michaels's, AC Moore) has pre-made wedding inviations kits that you print on the computer.  Everything is encluded (inviation, response card, and corresponding envelopes). Mine looked professional and for 225 guests I spent about $100 total. The directions are easy to follow and they turn out great.  Just a thought!  Good luck!!!!

I adore the website\nwww.theknot.com\n\nI am making my own invitations, but I found the idea on this website.  It's a great resource if you haven't checked it out!

I made my own invites, which I really like. I am an avid scrapbooker too, and used www.mygatsby.com and went to the Envelopement line. We re-created the 9x5 envelopement. We ordered one in, tore it apart to make a template, and bought our own paper and embellishments. Check out the pic at \nhttp://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b143/blushing27/IMG_1001_small.jpg

Go to Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc.  I was just in Hobby Lobby the other day trying to get ideas and they had some very nice ones that were already made, you just had to print the info on it.  Or go to Office Max and find some nice paper that would be appropriate for the occasion (maybe even find something with her colors so it seems even more personalized, even if you didn't have to put much time or effort into it)!  As far as the attire goes....just put something on the bottom of the invite that says "Casual attire is recommended."  When it comes down to it, people will not even care how they look...as long as all of the info is there, it should suit you fine!

I make my own invitations all the time, it's inexpensive and easy. I use plain 4 X 6 index cards and self sealing 4-3/8" x 5-3/4" envelopes that you can buy at any office supply store. You can do 100 invites for $15 and have 400 index cards leftover. You have to trim the bottom of the card so that it will fit in the envelope but that's easy. I use a paper cutter or a pair of speciality shears that you can buy at craft stores, but you could use regular scissors. I print the cards using Microsoft Word. You can usually find art work to fit any theme right in Word's clip art file. I listed the wording below and I usually center it on the card. It's pretty easy, good luck.\n\nYou are cordially invited to\nA Rehearsal Dinner\nMay 1, 2006, 6:00 p.m.\nThe Smith Residence\n123 First Street\nAnytown, Wyoming\n\nPlease RSVP by April 25, 2006\nto 307-555-1212 \n\nAlso Evite is a good way to send invitations if everyone you're inviting has email.  This wouldn't work in my family because most of them are 25 years behind.  Good Luck

I like http://www.pkgraphics.com. Very cheap 2-sided color, UV coated printing for postcards at 5000 for $125. Flyers are even cheaper.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com

Hello. I recently purchased an HP 3600n Color Laser* from Office Depot to replace 2 of my three printers. To date I am very happy with the results. It did not completely replace my HP G85, since it is also my primary fax machine. It did however replace my Lexmark 4039 10Plus and all primary color printing. It still leaves me with an OkiData 390 to print labels. I use the 5000 box of continious feed labels, so at the moment there is nothing I can do about replacing it. Between my two companies, the wifes eBay and the three kids printing daily, we print a case of paper a month (5000 sheets).\nI would have loved to have purchased an all-in-one color laser but all things consided I am very happy.\nOne thing that swayed me to the HP, in that price range, was it came with a print server built in.\n\nI hope this helpped.

There are many websites with free invitation designs and even more with designs for sale.  I listed a few below, but you can find more by searching for "party invitation design" (without the quotes).  Of course, you don't have to stick with paper.  I once got an invitation written with Sharpie on defunct CD's and another one cut out of newspaper like a ransom note.  You could write or print on cardboard and then cut them up into jigsaw puzzles or make them small and put them into fortune cookies.  Get the legal form for a summons or subpoena.  It all depends on the mood you want to set.
