November 2010 Brides

How much are you guys paying for invitations? I'm going to reach out to Ana de Roux her work seems awesome.

I was gonna go with Ana, but she was out of my price range. I just paid my coworker $100 to put together my invites. I guess it depends on what type of invite you want. I researched and researched for passport invites and I didnt find anything for less than $400.

Thats so funny you should mention that when I first announced we were having a destination wedding I had three separate friends say they can't make it they would be sending checks.

Girl, Im so happy I thought of her. I cant cut in a straight line to save my life! Shes saving me the headache and $$. If you know someone that is good with scissors thats all you really need. You can download the template from here and just buy the paper. I got my paper and envelopes from paperandmore.com.

I'm having a friend work on my passport invites now, she usually does invites, but has never tried passport ones..I'll let you know how they come out and her prices...and ill post a sample when they're done..

our best man ended up designing our passport invites, then he just went to a custom print shop and made it all happen! He definitely earned his title!

Anacj why don't you try etsy. Some of the ladies got theirs done on etsy and they came out great and the prices weren't bad I think.

I am finally going to upload my pictures of my invites. I found invitations on here that I liked. I wish I could remember who's invites they were because I would love to give them credit! I had my FI's dads graphic designer work with my ideas and put them all together. I ordered my stamps off of zazzle.com and yes I did put them on the left side, which most people arent noticing...thank God. If anyone is interested, let me know, as she does invites as a side job and she hand makes everything. shes amazing.

 

The title is "my tropical invites. I love them!" Sorry I dont know how to link yet!
