what is the average cost everyone is spending on invitations? I need about 50 and was hoping to spend around $100, the stationary isn't the quality I would like. I got a few quotes of around $250, is that typical for quality stationary and a simple invitations?

The cheapest invitations I've seen have been on VistaPrint, but the quality is not the same as getting invitations from a true invitation company. I got the 10 free to test it out and wasn't very impressed - but everyone's different. WeddingPaperDivas seem to have reasonable prices, but it depends on whether you're just getting the invitation plus the response card/envelopes, reception cards, etc.

I used Ana De Roux who is a vendor on this site and got passport invites at $1.00 per invite. We got 100 plus addressed envelopes for under $200. She's been great to work with and everyone has liked the unique passport invites. Just to avoid confusion...she does more than passports wink.gif

Good luck, I know it's weird to think about paying so much for paper that you are getting rid of anyway...

I second Miss Sunshyne's tip -- Invitations By Dawn is who I am currently dealing with now to order my invitations, the lined inner envelopes and the return-addressed outer envelopes. Before I decided to go with I.B.D., I was sent samples of 3 different styles I liked, and then from there, it made my decision easy as to which style I was going to purchase.

 

All together, my total with Invitations By Dawn is going to be around $150.00 for 50 of each of the items I mentioned above (after a 20% off, semi-annual promotional code has been applied, which is going on through 7/14/09, so you can take advantage of it if you hurry!).

 

We're spending another $60.00 with Allurements By Rebecca for custom RSVP postcards using the logo she's created for us (and you're in luck - she's right here on BDW and she's amazing!) To finish everything off, we're adding a paper backing to our invitations (the invitation itself is a sheer vellum, and I wanted something to put behind them so they will "pop" for another $50.00 or so from David's Bridal Online Store (DIY Deckle Set) -- after we buy the raffia we're using to attach the sheer invitations to the backing, we are looking at spending just over approximately $260.00 for 50 complete invitation sets.

 

I think your invitations are an important place to spend a little extra $$ if you can; it's a great way to leave a lasting impression with guests who will be attending and what they can expect/the style of your event, and they'll be a hit even those that may not be able to make it!

 

Good luck! wink.gif
