I sent out 50 and kept one for myself (includes $30 sample): $509
Postage ($1.81 each, yikes!): $90.50

Total damage: $600

Where did you get your invites from?

I spent about $4-5 each (I forget what price we settled on). I think that is on the pricier side but we didn't send out a lot and I fell in love with them once I saw them. If we were inviting like 200 people I may have gone cheaper. Postage for the monogrammed stamps was very inexpensive with hubby's employee discount. I came out just under $200 total.

I got them from Now & Forever - Contemporary Wedding Invitations and Accessories

these start at 285.00 but once you order extra envelopes, a colored ink, extra reception cards (one to write TA's info on, and one to let people know to book asap if they want to come because the resort fills quickly) I was up to almost 500 bucks. UGH I was just so sick of thinking about it I orderd them. They were really nich though and people really did like them, but do beware mine cost me almost a dollar postage for each one maybe 90 something cents.

That's how I'm starting to feel. I always thought invites would be expensive so I gave myself a budget of $1000 for them. Yes, I know that's a lot of $$$!!!

Well, I got a quote today for $1200 for 75 invites. That does however include calligraphy hand written on the outer and inner envelopes, an extra RSVP card for hotel/flight info and an extra Reception card for the Welcome Dinner. This also includes menu cards and thank you cards. But after seeing what everyone else paid, I think I'm going to be sick. I wish I was good at DIY projects.

Any bored ladies out there looking for a side gig in invitation making?

The problem is, the price most of us paid was just cost only for the materials. By the time we charge you even $20 an hour, we'd be up to what you're looking at paying for pro invites. Know what I mean? Probably the cheapest you'd be able to get me to do what I just did for mine would be like $10-12 each.
