Baby Shower Invitations - Advice

So my sister is having a baby - so excited for her! We have a HUGE family and so does her boyfriend. Can anyone recommend a website that has fairly inexpensive baby shower invitations (say, about $.80 - $1 per invite)? Is that unreasonable? I already know that I'm going to have to invite a few Aunts and ask them to extend the invites to their daughters. I'm going to check the Dollar Stores in our area, but I'm not sure what a selection they're going to have.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

I found this great site called Mixbook.com and was able to create custom invites with a pic of my sis on the front and a pic of her theme on the back. I would highly recommend this site to anyone. They had dozens of layouts available as well as "stickers". VERY COOL!! I ordered 65 invites and paid about $52 including S&H.

Hand written notes for those who are not. You or those who are helping you probably have unused stationary (letter head or cards)....also free except for the cost of postage.

I use vistaprint a lot for various things, including "Mommy cards" and anything.
Even their photo t-shirts.
The things I have ordered were always well priced and nice.

I second Dollar Tree. I got some really cute invitations for my friend's shower about a month ago there. In fact I got a lot of the paper good including decorations and plates, cups, etc from there. Really easy on the budget! Good luck and a piece of unsolicited advice- don't be afraid to ask for help. I didn't and I was so overwhelmed by the time the shower came I was just ready for it be over and didn't really get to enjoy myself.

Maybe also check party stores in your area (Party City, Party Time, etc)

peartreegreetings.com they are super cute too.. didn't read any of the posts so sorry if i'm repeating someone else.. I used them for everything!

Can u send out evites for those that are online frequently and paper invites for other relatives or family members that aren't online often. that can save you money in invitation costs and postage. Have fun!
