    Another post got me curious.

    We have budgeted $700 for all paper products (STDs, Invites, Programs, napkins etc)

    FI's Aunt can order Carlson Craft products through her job for a really low price so I am hoping to spend $300ish just for the invites.

    Please share what you are spending, where you are buying and anything else you want to add

    Ours will be about $2,200 for inviations, envelopes, directions, response cards/ envelopes, programs and thank you cards.  We are also doing calligraphy, but haven't priced that out yet - probably will be around $400.

    We are getting William Arthur thermography for everything, except for the thank you notes, which will be embossed.

    We spent 55 dollars on STDs (before postage).  We're also looking at invitations from Papyrus... I think we got a quote of $175 for 75 invites we really liked.  I won't go above $250 for invites, because $300 is my STD/invite budget :)

    $135 for the paper and supplies used to make all invitaions, programs, menus, table numbers, place cards and other paper products.

    But I'm going very very simple DIY-style!

    Free!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm designing them myself and a print shop that we do all our business with at work is going to print them for me at no cost. Yay!!

    Hadn't planned on doing STDs, but after seeing the pugs in the tshirts on here the other day, well...we'll see what happens! LOL

    $86 for invites (everything but postage), DIY, we didn't do STDs, programs, menues. I don't remember how much napkins were, I DIYed them myself though too so they weren't much. and thank you notes were $6, again DIY.

    I believe we will end up at or around $1500 when it is all said and done. This is with calling on favors from stationary friends and includes STD, Invites, table stationary (menu cards, names) and an awesome way to display our seating "chart"

    We ordered our STD magnets from VistaPrint (about $35 -- we missed the sale!). We designed our invitations ourselves and will spend either $360 to have them printed locally (100, along with 100 RSVP cards and 125 corresponding envelopes for each) or $485 to have the same batch printed letterpress. We haven't decided yet.

    We're not doing napkins or programs (we're trying to be eco as possible), and our directions will be online. We're also not doing the "inner envelope" on the invites.
