    My wedding invitations arrived today.  I am so happy with the way they came out.  I designed them myself and got them letterpressed and foil stamped from Jeronimo's Lithocraft in Santa Clara, California.  I really didn't think letterpress was in my budget, but got a great recommendation from vickyness on weddingbee.  They were incredible to work with and so reasonably priced.  They charge a fixed price for each piece which was great since I had to order 250 invitations.  The gold parts were handwritten by me and scanned in.

    The envelopes are the Daffy Blue color from Paper Presentation and the lace doilies came from ebay.  I still need to order my stamps, but am addressing this evening.  So relieved to cross one more thing off my list!

    They look lovely.  Do you remember how much you paid per piece?

    They ended up being about $4/piece.  Again the price worked out to be cheaper for me, because I had to order so many invitations.  It is obviously less cost efficient to order like 100 invitations, but the pricing is still really competitive.

    I bought the doilies on ebay.  I just looked for 9" square doilies based on a rec from weddingbee.  My invitation was 5x7, so the 9" doily made a perfect envelope.

    Just as a warning: If you decide to use the lace doilies as an inner envelope, make sure to purchase the #7 enveiopes instead of A7.  My invitation just fit, so I will need to stuff them in.
