Hi girls,

I'm just looking into wedding invitation options and I as wondering if anyone has had any experience with www.abridalpaperie.com or www.inspiredbrides.com? I really love some of their invitations and just wanted to see if anyone had tried them yet, especially Inspired Brides with their DIY kits. I'd really like to save some money and assemble my own cards if I can, and it sounds like it would be a fun thing to do with my girlfriends.

Thanks!

I ordered some free samples from Inspired Brides and they were really helpful in coming up with my custom wedding invitation design. The whole process was quick and easy! I highly recommend them. Good luck!

Just wanted to post the first result of my first try at putting together an invite using the http://www.inspiredbrides.com/ kit. The ribbon is a little crooked but I should get better with some practice!

Aimee from Creative Montage was fantastic. She was easy to communicate with, mailed me samples and was very quick to respond to my questions etc. We picked one of her "pre-designed" inviation sets -- the brooke. They were quite reaonable and the quality was fantastic. I'd HIGHLY recommend her for her invitations, monograms, stickers etc.

What is your budget? Are you picky? Do you want the fancy print??

If you are not that picky...I got my invites from vistaprint.com. A lot of times they will send you emails with FREE FREE FREE. I got all my invites for free, I only paid shipping.

The invites that I chose matched our wedding perfectly, and were good quality. We chose the linen texture so they looked elegant and "expensive"...

They come with free envelopes, but we bought black sturdy envelopes to fancy them up a notch. :)

The link below is all the possible invites..

The next link is the ones I did (well not the writing, you have to change that yourself). They match our colors and wedding style perfectly. They are color front and back, and they turned out GREAT! Like I said they were all free! Only shipping! I just changed the writing, and made it into a wedding invite! Be creative! Have an open mind!!! :)

We also got our save the dates on this site. We used a blank postcard, and we designed them ourself on this site. :)

Good luck, and please post back what you thought! I tried to post what our final invite front and back looked like but it didn't let me. If you are interested, send me your email and I will email you our invites and save the dates. :)
