Whimsicalprints.com has beautiful invites and are very reasonable - plus they're awesome to work with!
That price is kinda high, unless you are willing to pay that much. I got mine on etsy, had them done to exactly what I wanted and for everything, rsvp, directions, envelopes, invites, for 225 it was under $200 including shipping.
We got ours on Etsy and they included -
80 Pocketfolds
80 Invitation Layers
80 Monogram Belly Bands
80 Reply Cards
80 Accomodation Cards
80 Direction Cards
80 Reply Card Envelopes
80 Invitation Envelope
Details:

Chocolate 5 pocketfold
Ivory paper
Fern Green and Truffle Brown

For $360 total. Seller is InvitationsbyEmily, she was amazing to work with! I'm a repeat customer of hers, we also ordered our thank-yous from her.
I got mine custom made on etsy with printed envelopes, invite & rsvp for uner $2 per set.
I spend a little over $200 on 100 really nice, high quality, embossed invites from http://www.annsbridalbargains.com/index.jsp. they will send you a free sample of as many invites as you want to try. It can't hurt to go ahead and request a few. I think you will be surprised by the prices, quality, and service.
Ok, thanks sooo much for the suggestions ladies. I'll be looking into these.
Mine were $100 for 50 invite suites (including invite, rsvp, reception card, and envelopes) - so $2 each. More than I wanted to spend, but oh well. I'd NEVER pay $8 per invite (to each his own though!).
We got our wedding invitations from a super expensive NYC designer, so I won't recommend them due to price. But I just ordered my TY cards on Etsy custom made letterpress two colors for $80!
I got mine on etsy and for 130 invitations, RSVP pre-stamped postcards, information cards and brown envelopes and it cost around $450. We use LittleLadyBugPress
Plus the cost of postage it still came to be less than $500!
I'll probably be ordering mine from wedding paper divas. It looks expensive at first, but they always run specials. I'll probably get 100 invites and RSVP cards for around $220. I'm ordering my own pockets from paperandmore.com. I can get 100 for around $80.
That seems high to me - I was going to suggest that you try etsy, but I see plenty of people have suggested that already!
What type of printing method did you get quoted on? If you picked engraving or letterpress, they are going to be much more expensive then thermo and flat printing. But yes, invitations can be shockingly expensive if you happen to fall in love with some expensive bells and whistles. Do lots of shopping around and im sure you can find something in your budget.
btw, i fell in love with letterpress, custom ink, and cotton paper from Bella Figura and spent $1800 on mine....yikes!
Our were $550 (so I had to vote in the 500-1000 range) and included 75 invites, envelpoes with our return address, RSVP card, and RSVP envelope with our return address. Also, we had envelope liners for the invite envelope, and 2 color printing, which is obvi more expensive then 1 color. we got them at a local store, but the brand is William Arthur. I am really really pleased with how they came out!
Oops, I thought it said "for those of you DIY-ing your invites." Nevermind.
I went to Michael's and bought ours on the clearance rack for $29.99 for 30. Fortunately, they have sales where all the Brides Invites are on sale for that price. They were scary at first, but it was so easy and they turned out fantastic. Honestly, the best invite I'd ever received and people who received them loved them too. They wouldn't believe that I wrote the invites, put them together with DH's help, and tied the bows.
I am really into papercrafts, so I am torn about DIYing my invites, because I am also 100% totally in love with Studio on Fire, which is an amazing, amazing, amazing letterpress studio based here in Minneapolis.
This would put us into the $1000-2000 range I think.
I got mine from 123print.com and it cost me about $91 for 50 invitations, 50 (or 100- I forget how many I purchased) RSVP cards, 50 Thank You cards and 50 (or 100) Save The Dates plus 10-15 extra envelopes for each. I also got free shipping, which saved me $35. So almost all of my wedding stationary, I spent less than $100.
The stationary wasn't a detail I was super picky about and I found a design that is super cute, so it was an easy decision for me.
Oh, I didn't read your post at first....my invites were way under 500.....but everything together: envelopes, rsvp card, 2 different directions cards, hotel card, invite, seals totaled over 500
I got all my paper products plus a tone of extras for just under $30 from vistaprints.com for 150 invites.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
About how much did these set you back? We just got a proposal and I am kind of shocked at the price...no I am shocked. I know there are a baziliion different types of invitations you could order, but I didn't think we picked out the mucho expensive ones!
I mean really almost $8 for an invitation alone? Not counting the RSVP card, envelopes or anything. Is this for real?? I am literally flabbergasted.
