    I ordered from Bella Figura, and LOVED them.  They were a splurge, but they were the only ones I liked, from all the ones I sampled.

    I've ordered several samples from weddingpaperdivas.com - but didn't find one that I truly love.

    I ordered samples from Bella Figura (gorgeous!) and Cici New York (even more gorgeous!) but both ended up being a bit more of a splurge that I had planned (Cici starts at $15/piece for the predesigned pieces)

    I eneded up getting mine from Moira Design Stuido through their custom design girls.  theyve been great to work with and have tons of great ideas!  their blog  has a ton of pictuers on it as well.

    We had our wedding invitations engraved on wood.  We used a company called Lazer Designs.  http://www.lazerdesigns.com/  They did an amazing job and were really helpful, friendly and quick.

    We ordered our STDs through Papeterie and they were great but ended up ordering our invitations (and table numbers, place cards and thank you notes) through Olio Style who were fabulous!  We went with thermography over letterpress but they were still gorgeous.

    I am semi-diying my invites and I got the printing done at mygatsby.com. I did the same for our STDs too. They were reasonable and let me make modifications to the size of the invitation.

    Believe it or not... COSTCO!  You need to be a member but you'll get 25% normal price.  They aren't Costco brand but what you'd get online at other websites.  They have a pretty good selection and we loved our invite!  I'd use them again!

    We're getting our supplies from cardsandpockets.com and putting them together/printing them ourselves. This way it will only cost us about $30 or so.

    I found some on www.zazzle.com I was able to design them to what I was looking for.  I haven't ordered yet, but they are ready and saved in my cart for when I am ready to order!

    I got mine from Glidewell Press (glidewellpress.com) and I really can't recommend them enough. Adam was a pleasure to work with (in fact, I liked his work so much that he's also designing our reception paper goods). I really could not be happier with our invitations!

    I, also, am going with Zazzle.  haven't ordered yet, but they can't be worse than any other place I've gone with... and I've gone with some real oddities, too.

    HOWEVER, I'm also designing my own (by that I mean, the artwork is my own) and I'm printing on both front and back; something you can't get anywhere else.  (for that alone, i'd go with them). 

    ALSO, I'm saving around $200 going through them. 

    just beware that the designs ON zazzle are by people trying to earn money, so the prices are raised 5% or more.  If you design your own (using the "create" tab at the top) you'll save even more.  (I should know, I also opened a store there but haven't really sold much...)

    I bought mine through www.paperandmore.com. Quick turnaround, lots of choices and very reasonably priced. We got our 75 printed invites, envelopes (with return address printed), inner envelopes, RSVP cards and RSVP envelopes (printed with our address) for under $250. They're super pretty and the ink is raised to give it almost a letterpress feel.

    I'm throughly satisfied with paperandmore!

    We ordered our invites off of Etsy- I got 100 invites and reply cards for $300 at this Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/arippke

    Ours were not the raised letter press invitations, they are flat on card stock- but we got nothing but RAVE reviews about them. You can also order samples from this Etsy seller so you can see them before placing your final order. Below are pics. (Our wedding is also a peacock-themed wedding, so I just added the peacock feather and ribbon myself). Please disregard the poor quality photos, I just wanted to give you an idea of what they look like. This is my invitation and reply card BEFORE I added the satin ribbon and peacock feather embellishment, and then below is AFTER.... (sorry about the size of pics, I couldn't resize them)...hope this helps!Where did you buy your wedding invitations online? :  wedding invitations save the dates 1 website Wedding Invitation Going crazy with eggplant invites, help!!! :  wedding eggplant cream invites Wedding Invitation

    I ordered my STD magnets from Magnetstreet.com and loved them so much I ordered my invites from there as well!  I found an online coupon and saved over $200.  They turned out amazing.

    Magnetstreet sent me about 20 extra of each product as well, saying they had "extra stock" at production time.... Didn't need them but it was nice of them!  Def 5 star rating for them!

    You can change fonts/colors in their design studio rather easily... but the process of designing 10 different items gets a little time consuming.  It took me about 2 weeks to design everything, but they were in my hands about 2 weeks after that!
