Does anyone know of or can recommend a place that can either make or I can get the supplies to make my own Wedding invitations? I am due to have my baby in August. we just bought a house and are closing in July and we are getting married in Las Vegas in October and plan on having an at home casual reception. First of all.. I am having a hard time trying to find the wording for that.. and 2nd I am having a hard time finding invitations that dont cost $3.00 each as well.
You can find some nice kits at Target. It's like 50 invites w/ envelopes, thank you notes as well all in one kit that are about $30-40. There are several designs and all you have to do is put it through your printer. The instructions are very easy to follow.
Good Luck and Congrats!
Hi - have you tried Office Depot or Office Max? I was looking for some specialty paper and was surprised at what a nice selection of preformatted paper items they had. Pretty colored designs, some embossed, etc. You set up a Word doc using their specs and run the paper through you printer, then cut along the pre-perforated lines.
There's a mail order company that I've used before these types of items were available at office supply stores -

Hope this helps.
Good luck with all your upcoming exciting events!

You can always purchase specialty paper at Office Depot (they always have coupons for puchases) and then get a few lovely rubber stamps and some ink. I did this for my sister's wedding. Purchased fancy paper from Office Depot. Then used a rubber stamp and ran the majority of the invitation through the printer from the computer using a fancy font. They came out beautifully and I made 100 invitations for around $100.00. That was the invites, the maps, the RSVP cards as well as the Thank-You cards since my sister wanted them all to match! Good Luck! P. :)

REALLY nice invitations for around a dollar a piece.
I have a similar story! My son was born 2 days before our first wedding date, and we ended up getting married 3 months later.
Anyway, your question: We purchased the materials at PaperSource. We spent $80 for 100 invitations (40 invites, made twice since the first ones ended up being for the wrong date, plus some extras), and the envelopes. My husband is a graphic designer and made a simple design for the invite and we used velum on the front with a monogram of our initials and the wedding date.
If you'd like, I could send you one of the leftovers.
I did my own and it was much cheaper thn anyplace I looked. I got my supplies from paper direct. I loved the out come. I had to play around alot to get them centered correctly and you have to have a nicer printer for them to feed correctly and print clearly. Alot more owrk than I had planned but turned out great.
Congrats on your little blessing! I have seen kits at places like Staples and Office Depot where you can make your own invitations and they look pretty nice. Also, I have seen kits at Jo-Ann fabrics or Michaels where you can make your own invites and they have the dried flowers or little decorations and are very cute. Good luck!
Either Archiver's, design and print your own or check out Vistaprint.com I get all of my business stuff there and I get my kids party ivites there too, they are really cheap and really nice. Congrats!
Here is a suggestion I used for my invitations of my wedding 8 years ago. I bought the entire invitation kit at office max. Maybe try Office Depot, Avery, & try a scrapbooking store. The wording can be found easly if your willing to sit at the library & look at some Martha Stewart Wedding books or edicite on wedding invitations. Also, Michaels craft store, JoAnn Fabric store & Hobby Lobby should be a great help. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding & birth of your baby girl. Hofefully, there some suggetions Best of Luck.
