MemberWow, and I thought invitations were spendy in Seattle! I can see how if you need a smaller amount that would make a huge difference. I’m sure you’ll find something that’s perfect!
Member@bretonvirgniia: I think a lot of us bees would love to help if you could just give a few examples of what you like! Simply because we’re in the same boat as you and it’s sometimes easier to work on other peoples material than your own. 🙂 After reading your post and looking at some of the designs presented by minted, I grabbed my sketch book and made a quick little draft:
It literally took 10 minutes to put together, so if you just give us a little more to work with and I’m sure we can get you to a stage where you might actually like your invitations. 🙂
Member@MrsTVLover: +1
I love the designs on Minted, but it can really add up.
MemberI have always loved these (and by a Canadian company, too!):

The company actually has a number of invites that I love!

Member@bretonvirgniia: I do full wedding suites for a side job – creating a printable is way easier then you think. A couple hours, tops. Plus it’s practice. 🙂 I have the templates, fonts, etc. It’d just be a matter of putting something together in an eloquent manner that suits your event.
(Plus you still have to print and assemble yourself, so I am not doing that much work.)
No pressure, if you wanna try it send me a PM. I don’t offer this often but my other brides are taking forever to make their final mock-up decisions and I am going stir crazy. But if not – that’s ok too. Like I said – worst case – just don’t print them out. 🙂
MemberI cannot say enough good things about this company

MemberHow about these?
They are printed on kraft paper. They were designed for a bridal shower but I am sure you could have them customized.

I made my own with doilies and jute string. My doilies were pink and the brown paper looks great with the jute string!
MemberWe ran into the same problem; we just hated everything in budget. So, we went with custom made rubber stamps from Antiquaria. Theah eve lots designs to choose from, and they also do hand made invites. The stamps range from $50-$110, and we were abl. To get paper from paper source really reasonably. We are inviting about 400 to our reception so this was super cost effective for us.
MemberI felt the same as you…
What do you think of mine? i loved the laser cut lace look. They were from paper orchid, called “rose vine”
MemberMember@bretonvirgniia: Thanks! I got a lot of compliments from family and friends… most agreed that they hadn’t ever seen something like it before.
Anyway, best of luck to you! If you’re stressing too much abouut it, just remember that in the end- most just end up in the trash anyway… 🙁 🙁
MemberI made my own I started at weddingchicks.com and printed them on card stock then added the rest. I used the antlers and flowers then got a paper cutter and made them more “me” added some color behind them some ribbon and burlap and they look great!
cost me around 10.00 for 150
MemberHow about these??

Just thought I’d throw them out there! We got our invites from that company–different invites, though.
Membertry mixbook.com
i couldn’t find invitations i liked either that didn’t cost a fortune, but on mixbook you can literally make your own. they have dozens of fonts, backgrounds, graphics, ect. you can also pick the kind of paper they get printed on.
