    i'm making my own invitations (you can view them here and give me your opinion!), and it's turning out to cost a little more than i was expecting. i still think i'm under what i would be paying to have someone make my invitations. i'm just wondering if you could share about how much you spent and how many you sent out, so i can get an idea of the average cost. this would be so, so helpful. thanks so much! :)

    I paid $30.00 for 100 invites + envelopes and rsvp cards + envelopes! It will be a DIY project, but I haven't started, so no pictures yet.

    We paid $100 for 100 invitations and coordinating envelopes from a local stationery store, then we paid $80 to have them printed using thermography.  So $180 total for 100 invites.  The brand was WasteNot--and we loved them!

    I'd be curious to see the actual per invite average cost.  Under $100 is one thing for 50 invites but a lot more impressive for, say 150 of them!

    That said, we did 86 invites for 93 cents per 3-piece suite (not counting the $15 paper cutter I bought which I'll use in the future and consider a sunk cost anyway).  The only photo I currently have is the front side of the main invitation piece taken with my iphone.  While I quality isn't the best in this photo, I'm happy with how they turned out and think they def capture our cute & playful vibe.  We got them printed and the outline cut at Kinko's, then I did all the stamping, accent trimming and fastening myself=)

    Since we are having our courthouse wedding first...I only paid 30.00 for our invites. They are very simple. For the big bash I'm sure they will be a little more costly

    $85 for 120 DIY invites.  Time consuming, but worth the savings!!
