Is there a particular style or printing method you're looking for? Wedding Paper Divas and Hello Lucky have lots of cute, reasonably priced options.
Hi. I made my own, but bought some of the stuff online. I made pocket fold invites, and they were pretty elaborate, but cost me about 250.00.
You can check them out on my blog. I'm happy to help you if you have any questions about diy!

@jelly: They are beautiful! Can you share where you got the pocketfolds and other supplies?
check out papeterie for nice, affordable invitations. minted.com is a great site where you can browse a bunch of designers in one place, but i don't think you'll be able to stay under $500 with any of the designers on that site.
good luck!
I would check out etsy.com in their wedding section. They always have cool vendors that are willing to do custom work. You may even be able to get letterpress depending on your quantity. Also if you have alot their are vendors on etsy that will sell you the digital pdf file and you can take them to a printer on your own. Good luck ;)
I love love LOVE luv LOVE my invitations and save-the-dates made by an Etsy seller in Belgium named EnfinLaVoila.
See her creations here:

good luck!
I got mine at Cards and Pockets. They were running a sale at the time and I think I got the Pockets for 78 cents each or somthing. Still, their prices are low all of the time and most are around 98 cents each.
For the inserts, I just bought reams of ivory card stock. I printed them first, then cut them to size w/ my paper cutter and punched the corners to give it a more polished look.
I used a pack of scrap book paper for the insert cover and for the outer ribbon. I made the monogram stickers using sheets of plain circle labels.
Hope this helps!
I second the suggestion to check out Wedding Paper Divas. We bought our invitations and save the dates through them, and paid less than four hundred dollars for everything. I LOVE them! :)
Thank you ALL so much!!
Jelly, those invites are awesome!! Would you be willing to share the link or template? I LOVE the design on your invite!
You can try http://www.invitationsbyajalon.com also. They have a special right now for 100 invitations/RSVP postcards for $398, and they do custom designs also if you want something *really* unique.
Bean & Nicole6118 - I didn't use a template. I bought a vector graphic on for the invitation and for the corners on the inserts on istockphoto. If you're not familar with vector graphics, they're nice b/c you can make them big and small and the shape never changes. I downloaded a free vector graphics program called inkscape. However, if you have photoshop or illustrator, those are perfect. I typed it all on inkscape using their fonts. I used a laser printer b/c it shows up much sharper, but I think and inkjet would be ok. Lots of trial and error!

Oh, here's the link to the cost breakdown: My DIY Pocketfold invitations
www.ashleyscustomstationery.com
Ashley's Custom Stationery is located in Elmhurst and Clarendon Hills.
If you're interested in doing something a little more non-traditional I highly recommend looking at these hand-drawn caricature invites by vponsale:
http://www.vponsale.com/invitations/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=254
We ordered 110 invites and that came with extra envelopes (and they had some real pretty pearly coating on the outside which I wasn't expecting), along with 110 response cards w/envelopes and 110 reception cards, all for $177.
Their customer service team is great because I kept changing my mind on the wording.
I have to say, the first thing that comes to mind may be "cheesy" but the response we've been getting on these has been great. Everyone loves them. Very different.
Have fun, good luck and congrats!!!
Im ordering ours from Moira Design Studio. Im debating between 2 designs, but I think i like this one the best:
Im ordering the suite, so its the invitation, STD, reception card, and rsvp all together. the only option we are adding is the backing layer and I'll do the ribbon and stuff myself. they are $6.75 for the whole suite, and i need 75. My goal was to spend around $500 and that puts me right at my budget, so im excited. plus i think they're gorgeous!
sorry about the double post - I didnt realize i hit submit on the first one :(
