    I'm looking to buy some 100-140lb paper for my invites and have checked out the usual suspets, papersource online, cardsandpockets and etc.

    Maybe I'm blind or just really inept but I can't find anything heavier than 60lbs on those websites.  I would also need to order a sample before hand.  I know this exists because the bees have blogged about buying such paper.  What am I missing?

    Help?

    Sorry, I meant to say heavier than 80lb, they do have that.

    How nice do you want it?

    Some decent 110 lb 100 sheet cardstock reams are sold at walmart for $4 something... or try staples for nicer stock.

    Also, google whatever lb paper you want plus color.. 110 lb is pretty common. I needed some black stock before and found it pretty cheaply via Google Shopping!

    I got Neenah Classic Crest 130lb at paperpresentation.com.  I ordered that specific paper because it was the only one I could find that came in 8.5x11, 8.5x14 (80 lb, belly bands) and had matching 6.5" square envelopes.

    paper-papers.com has it in 110lb
    http://www.paper-papers.com/Neenah-CLASSIC-CREST-85-x-11-Cardstock-Paper-110lb-Cover-250PK.html

    paperworks.com has a ton of stuff too.

    Have you tried doing a search for 140lb cardstock?

    I use thepapermillstore.com and limitedpapers.com all the time.  They have some great card stock, both companies offer samples and the swatch books are quite cheap if you aren't sure on your colour scheme.

    I would go to an art supply store, they usually have the thick paper-- I've seen up to 140lbs.
