    I am really wanting this embosser and I am not sure if the cost (about $75 with shipping) is worth it. I included a picture. Instead of our address it would say HisFirstName and MyFirstName -True love stories never have endings.

    I am planning to use it on favors, the envelope for the invites (on the back), and on thank you cards.

    What do you think ladies is it worth it? Are there cheaper options out there?

    I can't really help with cheaper options, but I think your budget has an impact on whether it's worth $75... would you mind letting us know what your total budget is? (For example, my budget is around $5000, and I wouldn't feel great spending almost $100 on it.)

    MUCH cheaper. Don't know if they have that exact design though.

    I got ours from there. Great quality.

    And wait for 30% off sales. They have one of those almost once a month.

    could you buy a cuttlebug and make an embossing template like that yourself?  i know that cricut now sells embossing templates that allow you to make any diecut for the cuttlebug.  Even after you bought all that it would still be less than $75 if you used 40% off Michael's coupons.  And then you'd have the cuttlebug to keep for other embossing projects.

    Unfortunately horchow's does not carry that design. Fleur de lis are a major part of our wedding theme - they are on everything from invites to decor.

    As far as the budget we have about 20K for 400 people so with that many people there is some major DIY happening to make the budget go as far as possible.

    I have never worked with a cuttlebug. What is it exactly?

    I bought an embosser off of amazon for $25 and LOVE it SO much! They asked me what shape I wanted- round or rectangle, let me customize the text, and, even though its not stated on amazon's page anywhere, allowed me to add a picture (an anchor) to it for free! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GAUGI0/ref=oss_product

    I am not sure if they could do the text around the picture, like you posted, but it couldn't hurt to contact them and ask!

    I like it. I don't think it's too expensive! Especially if you have alot of invitations to do, it will save a lot of time. And you'll get a lot of use out of it!
