As a graphic designed I knew all along that I'd go a little overboard on my invites. I wanted something a little more substantial than regular paper, so I decided to make linen fabric pocket folds to

Erin - That's completely alright. I'd love to see how they turn out :)

 

C&J - The linen was $12 a roll (but I used 40% off gift certs at Michaels, so they were less). I fit 8 per sheet. So let's say after tax about $1.50 a piece for the fabric. The printing was cheap for me because of connections with my job, so I got it all at cost (around .50 per invite). The teal cardstock was $1 a sheet, and I used 2 for each. The white cardstock to build the base, let's say .10 per (I bought huge sheets and made a bunch off of each). Ribon, twine, etc, maybe .50 per invite?

 

In the end I worked it out and I made them for about $5 a piece. But that's with tons of deal hunting :). I do freelance design on the sign and if I made these for anyone I would charge about $10 per invite because of the amount of work involved.

 

Hope that helps.

I only made 20 so it wasn't that bad :)

That's one of the better parts of a DW, less guests = less invites! haha.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
