We designed our invitations ourselves and had them printed on a high-quality stock at FedEx/Kinkos. So, lower price and still pretty nice quality.
Can you narrow it down to a cost range? People may differ on what they consider affordable.
I did my own, for about $2 per invite, including postage:
Paper-Source value bin Letterpress 5x7 Cards for invites
Paper-Source 5x7 envelopes
Paper-Source four bar cards in matching cream for response cards
Paper-Souce four-bar CLEARANCE envelopes for response cards
I printed everything myself on my home printer (needed a direct feed, ink-jet).
Note: I live near a large Paper Source store, so I stalk their clearance/value sections once a week to accumulate enough product to do 75 invites. :)
I bought 2 40-packs of "Brides" brand invitations from The Flower Factory. We had 20% off coupons, so they ended up being about $8/each. They are simple but elegant. My dad (who works in printing) will be printing them for us, but, if we didn't have that connection, we would take them to a printing shop (this is what my sister did). Our RSVP is online, so no cost associated with that. Shipping is $.42/each, so the whole ordeal will cost us less than $.75/invite.
MonogramWedding.com offers customized invitations and more to fit every budget! And shipping is always free!
I am designing my own and having them printed through Vistaprint. I don't know a cost per invite yet, but they have killer sales every few weeks for different products and I plan on ordering mine then.
There are lots of threads about Vistaprint, if you're interested.
Invitations by Dawn has a ton of invite choices and lots of customization options. Orderes over $150 are shipped for free. Every few weeks they have a 15% off sale and if you get lucky you might catch a 20% off sale. I got 125 customized invites, 150 lined, self-stick return addressed envelopes, 125 response cards, and 125 RSVP cards and pre-printed RSVP envelopes all for $260. Compared to my next choice which was closer to $500, I was thrilled. The cards and envelopes are thick and all the printing is uniform. Love them!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Ladies, where have you found affordable but yet good quality invitations. I am somehow lost on this topic. I see alot of cute ones but I would hate to buy them and the quality not to be what I expect. I could print my own but I want to be sure they look professional. Ideas? Please share pics if you have them available!!
