Check pinterest, there's probably loads of ideas there too :-)

These were ours, we had a rustic theme so everything was kraft, copper and ivory. But if you go on pureinvitation.co.uk you can design your own invites using their designer, or pick one of their preset designs, and they send you everything you need to make them yourself

I have a royal blue colour scheme too and I have made my own. I got the pocketfolds from a website and the card gems and ribbon from ebay.

My colour was royal blue!
I purchased the invite templates from eBay in a craft colour card, then bought royal blue accessories to decorate and printed my own inserts on the craft card. Was so easy to do and cost effective!

Pocketfolds can be bought cheap from http://www.pdacardandcraft.co.uk/pocketfold-cards.html. I recommend getting double sided sticky tape with the red plastic on from ebay as it's the only tape strong enough!

We brought some plain ones from a card shop and added royal blue ribbon and butterflies to it for a personal touch, we also printed our own inserts onto blue card. Hobby craft was brilliant and if you sign up for their emails you get 20% off.

I designed ours ourselves and then had them printed. We found this was a much cheaper way than ordering an already made set. If you're up for a little DIY this was a great way to save money! It cost us £35 for 150 save the dates plus envelopes. Printed.com is a fab website where they will print what you want and you can choose paper style, size etc! Good luck :)

We made our own and we were super happy with them. :D We ordered the paper online from somewhere, can't exactly remember where but I can find out from my husband and you can PM me if you're interested.

I made mine, I got some wedding invites that we're silver and sparkly from clintons £1.00 for 10 with envelopes, I printed the details on silver paper and stuck them to the inside of the card then cut up glitter card stock and put a strip of card on the inside of the card to hold an RSVP I bought RSVPs from the card factory and stuck diamantes to them and cut the border to be able to back them onto glitter card stock I also printed our address onto plain sticky labels for the RSVP envelope, I wrapped the entire invite with organza ribbon before posting and everyone loved them def worth doing yourself if you have time I saved about £50 doing it this way xxxx

We didn't make ours as such but I had a friend help me design them and then had a ticket company print them, the save the dates were drawn by a family friend and then we just used Vista print to print them for us! I was so happy with them and have them framed!

I have navy blue and white and found it hard to find a pocketfold invite the right size shape etc with all the inserts. In the end I designed it and got it printed with jumpfox, they very reasonable and quick. X

Hobby craft or the range. Try PowerPoint if you have it as they have templates.

You can also get some relatively cheaply from Vistaprint. They often have voucher discount codes online. Our theme is royal blue as well and we paid just under £100 for all our save the date invitations and evening reception invites. We are going to make our own rsvp though 😊
Sometimes you get good deals for crafts at places like The Range or Poundland x
