    Here are my three options right now.  OUr wedding is formal/semiformal and my BM's dresses are a cobalt color. (my wedding colors are blue and white).  I'm trying to keep invitations (without postage) under $2 each which seems to be pretty limiting.

    Here are the options I'm considering.  The first 2 would take a little DIY but not too bad (kits from Formal-Invitations.com). The last third is from Costco.com).  MY FI is voting for the third since it requies no work (accept addressing). I kind of want a project.  My other thought was to play around with trying to DIY pocketfold invites.  I saw few another Bee's projects and loved it.

    What do you think? any other suggestions would be great! I loved this one but it's out of my price range: http://www.mygatsby.com/product.jsp?ProductID=429274

    I like the first and second one. The second one seems the most formal and the first one more semi-formal.

    I like the 2nd one with the lace and the blue ribbon. But we had bows come with ours to tie over the invitation and I didnt use them because it was too much of a hassle to tie them!! I would have gone crazy if I had to tie 49 bows!

    I like the 2nd one best...3rd one is my next choice, but I like that the 2nd one has a bit more modern pizazz...3rd is elegant, but doesn't really POP to me.
