    I am having a tough time finding blue wedding invitations that are on the lower end of the price spectrum.  Ideally, I'd love navy or light blue paper.  Are there any shops, websites, or Etsy sellers that have blue wedding invitations?

    I'm sure many Etsy sellers could customize colours for you. Have you tried making an Alchemy request?

    I'm very curious about Etsy's Alchemy, but also intimidated.  Other than the color and a vague idea of what I like, I'm not really sure what I want the invitations to look like.  How specific do you need to be?

    Perhaps you could look at places and find examples? For instance, would you want navy blue linen cardstock with silver text and accents? Or maybe you want navy blue stardream pocketfolds with inserts? Decide what kind you like, then try etsy. Look around on etsy to see if sellers have something you already want, then ask them about customization.

    I think you should definitely pursue Etsy alchemy. Just look at invitations online and research what you like and what you don't so you can be more specific in your alchemy request. Good luck!

    The site i went through has a TON of designs and are really reasonably priced, plus you can customize your order.  I bet if you found a design you liked they would print it on blue paper for you...

    www.moiradesignstudio.com

    also check out www.minted.com

    on a side note - if you want dark paper, you'll have to look into a more expensive printing rought since offset and digital wont print on the darker paper.  you'll need to do foiling, letterpress or something like a goco.  light blue would probably be a better route.  you could look for a design in blue that you like and have it mounted on darker blue as well
