How much did you spend on your invitations?

[IrieBride08]

My DIY STD's cost a little over $160. I made 70 invitations. The cost includes paper costs, materials (rubber stamps, perferators, envelopes), and mailing stamps.

I also made mine myself. Well, with lots of help from my cousin, I should say.

I bought envelopes, paper, photo corners all from Paper Source. My cousin had the letterpress made and printed them for me. Without postage, it was less than $300 and I have tons of leftovers for placecards, tags, menus, thank you's...

I sent about 80 invites.

i think i made about 50 or so - i did post a pic somewhere, but now i have a pro picture from Leigh! here are mine ...

 

i don't think the inserts are in the shots - but i had 2 cards in there, one was the RSVP (front and back) and one the Welcome Dinner invite - they were pretty casual

I made all my own and including postage I probably spent around $250

I sent out about 115 invites

If I add correctly about $105, with shipping... not too shabby

just found one picture of the inserts ...

I spent a couple of hours looking on line and got so fed up that I said screw it and just went with the ones I thought looked nice, could fit all of our travel info on them, and were easiest to order online. I would not do this again though.

Where did you order them from? Do you still have the website info?

Are you making them yourself?

Invitations: approx. $4.60 each, sent about 50

 

STD's: around $8.00 each, send about 75...yup those were expensive

i think i lied. it was probably closer to $150-200 after all the postage (to mail, and the return envelopes)

[MsShelley]

oops, forgot to add the rhinestones and they were about $60, so about $165

 

 

and $35 for my STD's
