My mum made ours, but we paid for all the material - for 70, they came in at around £120, so not cheaper, necessarily, than buying them, but nice to have a more personal touch!

our photographer is doing our for £1 per invite

we were going to make our own then found some on ebay i liked, printed ones that i can just add too so i have added ribbon and rhinestone and its cost me about £0.25p per invite! only downside is i have to handwrite them but they look much nicer than my handmade ones!

depends what u want my mum made me mine :-) shes very good at them if u want her to do em i know she'd love too. theres pics of mine in my album x

well so far i have plain cards in the shape of butterflys 25 as out of the 46 day guests there all couples so works enough they were £9 i just have to decorate then eventually wont cost to much and then theres the extra 50-80 evening ones i havent even thought about i think as im diying them under £50 x

SIL made ours. Nothing printed or OTT, very simple but we love them. It was her wedding present but came to about £30 x

We are making our own, i am good with the computer so gona make ours, not sure of the cost yet but i'll let u all know when i find out.. :)

All my stationary and I mean everything will come to £50

Just had a look at the invites your mum made. They're lovely. I like your cake topper. It looks like me and my OH. haha x

Mine were made for order gate folded with organza to match BM's dresses and ivory card, they were printed on aswekl by supplier and came in just over £50 for 90

Carl and I brought our invites from the card factory £1.49 per 10 then added our own inserts and finished them of with ribbon from the local craft shop.

I found exactly what i wanted on E bay really cheap, the lady did personalised day invites, evening invites and matching thank you cards, all together £50, im having 70 at the day 100 at night !!!

I made my own and it cost me £20 to do, pics in my album. But I only had to invite 40 guests and most of those are couples so just about 20 invites to make, but still had 30 or so cards and envelopes left so it would still have cost me £20. x

think ours cost £18 roughly enough for 100 ppl xx

We made our own, cost about £100 for 60 invites and places cards that all match. Got it all from hobbycraft i think, have loads of stuff in there!

I bought mine from an online printing company which is quite well known and used alot on here! For 50 day invites, 30 evening invites, envelopes and 80 RSVP cards we paid about £70. Piccies are in my albums xxx

cheers hun, only just finished the table plan as wasnt happy with it then guests pulled out, have been pulling my hair out with that thing xx

H2b's mum made ours and they're lovely - loads of people thought they were bought ones.
She did 50 for less than £20 I think x

we have designed and printed our own invites we need about 40 and i think it has cost us about £10 in card and paper.
i am really pleased with how they have turned out

have all mine ready for the go and with ink and the paper etc for 70 invites £30, @ Vickie, god i would pass out if i had to pay that much shop around, and have a go its not that hard and then you can spend the money on something else for the wedding

It's not how much you spend on them its about having what you want. I do think that the invites set the tone of what is to come.

I've seen some lovely items made by brides on here that haven't cost the earth but look amazing but I've also seen some not so good that have ended up costing them just as much as if they had brought them by the time they have priced up all the embellishments they have used on them so I would say before you decide to make them work out what it is going to cost allowing for mistakes and then work out what is better for you.

ours will be costing around £140 for 25 daytime and 60 evening invites that we're making ourselves.

i think ours for day and evening was about £190. i cant remember exact amount xx

my moh has made mine i dont think they have cost much i just bought the materials and they look awesome xx

I still think £600 is a lot but it's not quite so extortionate for that many people and the table names, menus etc. Have you tried looking for anything similar to maybe reduce the cost a bit?
