Mine cost about $1.25 w/ postage when all was said and done. I used cardsandpockets.com and they were fantastic!
We got our invitations from them and I loved them. We got a lot of compliments on our invites. They were really great to work with. I would suggest getting samples from them (most are only $1). I found through getting the samples that I liked the textured paper rather than the flat, so that really narrowed down my options. Also, I ordered colored envelopes to add a little something special to the invites since weddingpaperdivas only supplies you with white envelopes.
It depends on what you want and where you get them. $1.25 an invite including postage is crazy, CRAZY inexpensive - that is going to skew the thread a bit. The ones I likes (that has multiple enclosures and extra luxe paper, etc) would have been about $9.00 each without postage, so I made them myself for about $3.00 each (plus postage). I've heard good things about wedding paper divas. Good luck!
i've heard really good things about weddingpaperdivas in terms of the quality and service, and that the price is very fair considering what you get. i'm sure you could spend less printing an invitation of your own design at home, but if you are not a big DIY person, i think weddingpaperdivas is totally worth it. i definitely would have purchased our invites from them had it not been for my obsession with making my own invites.
All the wedding invitations I liked in a physical stationary store were $10-12 not including postage, I found an etsy seller I love who will do them for $8.25 each. If you can get an invite with muliple color ink/ card inserts for less than $6 you've found a deal.
I did get mine from Weddingpaperdiva's and I love them. They double check everything just to make sure its right. I liked them so much i ended up ordering my shower invites from them too.
At WPD the more you buy the less they cost. I got 100 for $1.69 each. (just for the invite. Response cards are extra, I did postcards for my RSVP's from 123print.com) I thought this was a great price. For the Wedding invites, the shower invites were from the "Studiobasics" line which is a little cheeper because you cant change the colors and they were $.87 a peice.
My SIL used WPD when she got married last year and hers turned out great too.
I don't know the website, but I think invite prices vastly vary. I'm DIY'ing everything and I'm going to spend about $150 on supplies (not including postage. From that I'll get the 65 invites that I need plus LOTS of left over paper (should be enough for whatever other paper needs I have).
We used Weddingpaperdivas for our STDs and they were fantastic! Super low price, great service and they looked awesome! Got lots of compliments on them. I'm planning on ordering our invites from them too and they're reasonably priced as well. Prices definately vary on that site, but if you're having any reservations about ordering from them - don't even sweat it. I would recommend the site in a heartbeat. My sister is even ordering the shower invites from them....
I am ordering my invitations from wedding paper divas and so far I have been thrilled with my experience. (Picture for our vineyard wedding invite below - but we changed the text to grey and changed the font of our names to be more formal.) Some tips:
Once you order, you get free email proofs and they have designers who look over everything before you order, so no typos or other weirdness! Plus, they guarantee all their orders, so you can return anything if you are not happy with it.

Ohh...yeah I probably should have mentioned I did DIY invites. I bought the Pocketfold part on Cardsandpockets.com, but cut and printed all the inserts myself. I paid around $125 for all the paper, pocketfolds, ink, ribbon, envelopes, and stamps. I made about 100 invites out of all that.
Though I only ended up sending out 70. Bad planning on my part. :-)
My bachelorette invites came from them and I love them!! My bm's also had really great experiences working with them...I think you're pretty safe if you choose to get your invites from them 
EDIT - - @seravictoria - - I got my envelope liners from Cards & Pockets. I got the tile pattern in tuscan sun on champagne paper. mmmmm, Cards & Pockets was so great to work with too 
I used weddingpaperdivas and everything came out great. I got TONS of compliments. Plus, their samples are only $1- so if you aren't sure go ahead and order a sample!
I got mine from Wedding Paper Divas, and used a coupon (if you're on the mailing list, you'll get them a lot!), so for the invite, response card + envelope, and a directions card, they ended up being just about $300 for 80 sets. I love them, the quality is great, and I've received a TON of compliments on them!
What also helps, is if you can add DIY accents...I did my own envelope liners, and tied the invites together with bakers twine, which helped to dress the invite up a bit. This didn't add-on much cost either!
@jackie-o: I LOVE Cards and Pockets! I got my shipment after four days from ordering and I ordered when they had a coupon code for 20% off the entire order. Plus I got ones that were already on clearance for .70 a piece, so I really save a ton going through them.
I briefly contemplated making them myself, but I am glad I found the deal through them! They saved me 16 hours of frustration (of course I am guesstimating here).
I used cardsandpockets too and just figured out that I spent about $4.00 per invitation including everthing (pocketfold, seals, insert, mat, invitation, reply card + envelope and outer envelope and postage for the reply card and outer envelopes.) Also, I was probably overcharged about 21 cents per invitation by our local post office..
I started out with a cheaper plan, but fell in love with some fancy paper. Like other bees, I have a bunch of leftover cards that I hope to use for other things. (Lucky bees who found 20% coupon codes ... I couldn't find any when I placed my order.)
Just decide what you can afford and work back from there. You've got a lot of nice possibilities to choose from.
What about mygatsby.com for wedding invitations? Found that site in a wedding magazine! Any luck with them anybody?
i spent about $500 for my 250 invites from wedding paper divas. i ordered my invites that had dark purple and bright green. well, the "purple" came out bright fushia which i was not happy about. but the design and the price was great. just note that the color looks a lot more saturated online than it does in person!
I kind of like WPD and I've heard good things about it... if you are having a "regular" wedding it's all right. But if you want to personalize it (ie more than colors and names) places are higher (from $7.50 up)
we got our engagement party invites and our save the dates from weddingpaperdivas.com and they were awesome! They are great to work with. I just found out that they now offer pockets, so Im going to try and get our wedding invites from them too! We need pocket invites since its a destination wedding, and they previously didnt offer them, but now they do!! YAY!! :)
I ordered a thermography sample from Wedding Paper Divas and it was nice. I went with invites from an Etsy seller because those were more our style.
Order samples- it is worth it because online pictures are really up for interpretation.
You should also try MINTED.COM for flat printed invitations. I love, love, love minted.com. They feature a compilation of different designers and they have some invites that are in the price range of Wedding Paper Divas.
If you are considering letterpress, then that is a whole other conversation :)
I almost went with Wedding Paper Divas, but then I found a letterpress studio (Invitations by Ajalon) who had a special going on that made the price of letterpress comperable with WPD flat printing, so I don't think their prices are THAT great.
We haven't ordered our actual invites yet, but the samples from exclusivelyweddings.com were pretty nice, esp given the price! Our invite suites (so invite w/ double envelope, RSVP card set w/ envelope, an enclosure card, and a thank you card; all with return addresses printed directly on the envelope + proofs of all of the cards for review) will cost us less than $2.50 per set...and that gets us 150 suites + 50 extra thank you cards! They're pretty basic invites, but they're done with thermography--and I've been hard pressed to find anyone who can hit that price point for the particular style/printing we're after. They also run the occasional discount deals, so if you end up thinking that you might order from them, sign up for their e-mail list and wait for a good deal to come in. (They usually run 15-30% off, depending on the cost of your order.)
Hope that helps...and if there's anybody around who's ordered from eweddings and had a particularly bad or good experience, I know I'd love to hear about it! :-)
We ordered our save the dates, invites, response cards and thank you's from wedding paper divas, all for about $450. thats including addressed envelopes for the response cards, and around 10 extra envelopes for all the orders. I had a few questions which answered within seconds (they have a live chat person available 24/7). Free shipping, and were offered a discount when I spoke to someone through a live chat. We were missing some envelopes when the order arrived and they were overnighted the next night with apologies. We love everything about our order. Just sent the save the dates out this week.
@jadeblue: When you use cardsandpockets.com, do they put fonts on there? Or is it just blank paper that you print off when you receive your order?

Just wondering how much wedding invitations cost on average? I am looking online at weddingpaperdiva.com and they seem to have great prices and nice designs! Has anybody used this site before? Thanks!
