    I tried to post this on the knot.com and all i got were a bunch of people giving me opinions and judging me...so im going to try this here. My parents are throwing my fiance and I an engagement party ive looked on google, target, hallmark, and party city websites and haven't found anything. Can anyone recommend a good site to purchase invites?

    you know - i will say that i have looked on the knot before, and up until this point i never understood why people spoke of it that way.

    that post changed everything.

    i'm sorry they're such jerks. wow. i'm like, shocked that people could even be that ruthless...

    thanks lol. The things they were saying to me just b/c i asked about where to buy good invites was crazy! they told me my marriage was going to fail and what i should and shouldnt do and even commenting on how i spelled things....i was in complete shock! cause a bunch of people reccomended it to me. Then somone on the knot recommended this and so far all of the people posted actually answered my question and were nice about it lol

    Welcome Niki! We're glad to have you aboard the Bee train!!

    Etsy is definitely a fav of mine for custom stuff. But also, if you want the DIY route, there are a few other sites with kits for sale:

    Wow Niki, just read that thread. Nuts! Hopefully my post helped at least a bit. Let me know if the hobby lobby link didn't work for some reason. And welcome to the bee! Laughing

    @ Niki--- ETSY!!  ETSY!! ETSY!!  I have gotten all of my paper from etsy (STDs, Invites, Labels, etc!)

    Also..off topic.  The other day I posted advice on what format (font, size, etc) to print addresses onto my invite envelopes and one of the "knotties" told me if I wasn't concerned with my "integrity" I could use a font that looks like it's handwritten, but she certainly wouldn't...lol  I used that font and it looks great!

    Etsy, vistaprint, or this site that has free invite downloads - http://www.nonpareilmag.com/category/downloads/

     

    or make your own using photoshop, illustrator, or another program like publisher.

    Etsy or Vistaprint are good online options as previous posters have suggested.  My parents bought my e-party invitations at a local store called the Paper Store...so check out your local Hallmark store or Paper Store if the event is informal.  We just wrote in the information.
