Hi ladies, I'm wanting to use an invitation kit (I'm no good at cutting around corners neatly) for some petal fold or lily pad style invites. The cheapest I have found with ribbon remotely near to the colour of my choice (a kind of dusky pink/rose, carnation dessy bridesmaid dresses) are £3.25 and this may be as reasonable as I can get but I just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas or thoughts on ways that I can do this for any less? I' m open to any suggestions and any thoughts would be greatly received xx

i found lovely stuff on Ebay, different theme, but if you search you might just find something.
i was going to do my invites and save the dates etc myself, but the stuff i've found is sooo reasonable, £1 per invite including envelope etc....
hope you find something x
CommentAuthorlaulyloon
Hi Laura thank you for the advice. £1 per invite is really good value I've not managed to find anywhere near that yet. Did you find you invites on ebay in this country or have you had to have them sent from abroad? Also did you mean that you ended up getting them ready assembled?

hey :) its depending on how many invites u wanna make etc :) i have just bought a whole lot of stationary stuff from gatefolded cards 50pcs incl envelope like under £6 A6 ivory, bought gems and normal blank cards also place cards, ribbon etc cam with the whole lot to about £60 but i do know i ordered way to much as i'm guessing i need only some of it and some just to be there in case something goes wrong but i do have everything from 50 gate folded ivory cards with envelopes for day invites, heart ribbon sliders ivory, 35m ribbon, gems in silver and blue, blank normal A6 ivory cards with envelopes for evening invites, inserts for both, 25m silver ribbon and 60 ribbon sliders, place cards, wedding invitation/thank you/evening invitation/save the date sticker etc, simple cards for save the date :) so quite a lot and well worth it as its very good quality highly recommened the seller if you are interested let me know

Thank you enny, I think theres just too much choice out there and I really don't know where to start. I just can't seem to find any that coordinate with my colour. Theres alot of baby pinks and fuscia pinks but not alot of dusky pinks :o(
Jill, thank you for the template. Can you order these petal fold packs or is it just the template to cut them out yourself?

where can you get invite kits from?
CommentAuthorlaulyloon
if you google diy wedding invitation kits it will come up with loads of companies, i am just struggling to find ones i want
CommentAuthorslashingsmile
great thanks, no idea wat i want lol, im unbeleivably indecisive
CommentAuthorlaulyloon
I just want to make sure I can get other stuff to match my invites, really want all my wedding stationery to be the same. Worried if i do them completely DIY i may struggle to get everything looking the same xx

I've found the internet a massive help!!!
CommentAuthorlaurab-gtobe
laulyloons, sorry for the late reply! It was in this country, just someone down south!
i messaged her a question today and she hasn't opened up any new items to catch up with current orders. I've posted a pic of my invite in my folders, thats what cost me £1 and the envelope is included.
I don't have the time to do them myself with a 3month old to look after, and I too couldn't find anything I liked that was a decent price! all through the roof!
My entire stationary requirements including menus/order of service/placecards/guestbook is all under £350 with using Ebay...

theres a website which has the card pocket starting at 70p each for 1, the cost goes down as you order more, 100 = £53 for example. do you want the details? You'd need to do the paper inserts and ribbon separately
CommentAuthorlaulyloon
Yes please maggielou, details would be great thanks xx
Laurab I can imagine uv not got any spare time to do ur own invites with a little one to look after but it sounds like uv found a good deal for ur invites. Il take a look at ur invite, if i can work out how, I'm such a computer loser :os
CommentAuthorlaulyloon
Laurab your invites are so pretty, can u let me know who you got them from at all?
