    To those of you who made your own invitations, where did you buy your paper and envolopes. I'm trying to go cheap but good quality.

    We actually designed the invites ourselves on the computer and sent the file to a local printing company who used their own cardstock to print the invites using thermography and gave us the matching envelopes. It came out to about $1 total per set for the invite, RSVP card, info card, and 3 envelopes. This could be a cheaper option possibly than buying the paper and envelopes and ink yourself.

    I would agree with PPs on the different sources they referenced. I know people have also used Holyoke Fine Papers to order cardstock. Best of luck!

    I purchased all of my paper from the craft store Michael's.  When i purchased the main color of cardstock, it was on sale 6 for $1, and I just had them give me a raincheck so I could continuously go back to get how much I needed for the sale price.  JoAnn Fabrics also has good deals on single sheet cardstock every once and awhile.

     

    As for the envelopes, I purchased mine from www.envelopemall.com.  I got the Stardream Metallics envelopes, and they were really reasonably priced compared to other websites I found.  I was able to get 200 envelopes for less than $50 shipped, and it was really fast shipping (only took about 2 days to recieve them after I placed my order!)  They are also very good quality.

    @melipede03:  Those are SUPER cheap!  About 7 dollars cheaper than paperandmore and 8 dollars cheaper than cardsandpockets for a 50 count. Decisions decisions.... I may order a sample from each site to see which one I like more!
