I can't speak for the passport invites, but I just finished my DIY boarding pass invites last night. It was a lot of work, but I made it through using the templates, ideas and inspirations from this site. It was a fun project for my FI & I and we were very satisified to see all our hardwork come together. I don't know how much people charge to make these, but it cost up approx $110 for 55 invites (still have to go through the receipts and add everything up). We just bought EVERYTHING on sale or used coupons!
