When I get home tonight I will email you the template.

Honestly I bought all the paper and envelopes from paperandmore.com and I printed on my home printer (a very cheap printer at that!) You can take to kinkos to cut or cut yourself with a paper cutter. I couldn't fathom paying $500 for invites. and Could you believe?!? My invites have gone out and I have to make more?!? Because my mom wants keepsakes and my FI's grandfather wants to invite the entire island of St. Vincent!!

Miss Jai you are such an inspiration with your DIY projects! Could you please send me the template as well! I love the passport invites but I cannot do $4-$7 for invites. MY FI will have a stroke!

What do you think? I find the traditional baskets to be soooo tacky and it's a plus that this is easy to pack!! I'll have to get my 2 yr old niece/FG's opinion of course, but I think this is the one.

This is too cute! Great for a beach wedding! Your FG will love it!

Ladies.....need some imput....Do you think it is cheaper to DIY invites or just pay someone to make them??? The ones I really fell in love with is a passport invite that is $5.10 per passport with a min of 30 required to purchase and only sold in sets of 10. BUT the shipping is $34.63....so the total for 30 would be $187.63. The other ones that I liked are boarding pass ones that are $5.50 a piece and $10 for shipping....which would come to $175. I just feel like this is a lot of money for 30 invites and that I can either see what staples or kinko's would charge and than see if I printed them myself....only problem with me doing it is having to get the stuff to cut them. But what if I printed them and brought them somewhere to be cut?! Trying to save as much as possible Cindy

Very costly to have made. I had 100 passports done with custom monogram $460 or close to that amount give or take a lil kore or less off top of my head can't remember. That includes shipping too.. probably a lot cheaper to do yourself but don't think I have the talent and was in such a rush to send them out..being overly excited. .did you check out the diy boards on here lots of them have the cost breakdowns with supplies and all..some very detailed made me believe even I could do..
