I am so excited about my invitations. When I first started planning, I was so scared that invitations were going to cost me an arm and a leg. So, I started looking at DIY kits from Michaels Arts & Crafts, Targets and other stores. I never quite found anything that excited me. I then started looking at companies that custom design invites for you, but they all required printing and the cost ranged from $500 to $1,000! I refused to pay that amount for invitations! Then, I started lurking on theknot.com at different ideas that current bride to be's were posting regarding great finds for invitations and signage. And boy oh boy, did they provide me with some awesome ideas. Howver,I ended up finding out that the knottie that designed my monograms (see monogram post) also designs custom invitations! I was so excited! I sent her pictures of what I wanted and we worked together designing the invitation suite. She crated an invite, rsvp postcard, directions and hotel accommodations card for me. She also created signage for my reception. All this cost me a total of $50. I went to Office Max to do a test print. I printed on metallic white paper. They also cut everything for you for a small fee. This is another great example of getting a custom item created at a great price. Contact miss jones via her blog. Great working with her!! http://thebuckeyebride.blogspot.com
