    ... you seriously consider ordering higher quality envelopes for your holiday cards!

    I bought five packs of cards to send out this year and was so disappointed in the quality of the envelopes that I was a split second from placing an order from PaperSource to replace them. PaperSource envelopes to replace the ones that came with the cards... Cards that cost me $7 per box, 24 cards per box. I've officially lost it.

    Wedding planning has made me a paper snob!

    Haha, wedding planning has made me a paper snob, too.  I was just fine with good old cardstock for all my homemade projects until Papersource came along!

    Actually, I don't think that's weird at all. I was debating btw what they had at Michael's and ordering nicer ones... what they had at Michael's won out because I was too lazy to get online.

    Serya, have you thought about DIY envelope liners?  Depending on the shape of your envelope, they can be REALLY easy to make, and they make the envelope look/feel a lot richer.  I'm a paper snob too, and got gorgeous (way too $$$) wedding invites, but I was too cheap to spend the money for them to do the envelope lining, and did them myself and they looked great!

    @jhphi - these envelopes are actually lined - the problem is the paper is super flimsy. I've powered through it and am letting it go :)
