    Hi Ladies,

    Just wondered how many of you are doing you own Invite, or having them made, I am really not creative so dont think i am going to be doing my own but just been look at prices per invite and I am shocked how much they are xxx

    some people on bay of e can make the whole thing for you at a little bit more than what mine cost to make my own.

    Just shop around you will get the right deal and shop locally!

    We got ours from vista print. Really good value and loads of designs to choose from. They're not as crafty as the handmade ones but I loved ours.

    You could always get some from vistaprint and stick diamantes or little flowers on them... A compromise between homemade and store brought? Xx

    I made mine, but can see advantages to both sides. vista do some lovely ones, i do think £3 is a lot for a card, unless it is extremely fancy. I know a company that design and sell them at about a £1 each, though larger numbers get a discount.

    We were going to get ours made but we were quoted £800 plus for what we wanted for stationary so now we are doing them oursevles. Find someone who does it local or makes handmade cards they will prob do it cheaper.

    i made my own half way through i wish i hadnt bothered but was worth it in the end although the amount i spent on all the materials to make them it would have been cheaper and easier buying them. but my invites were unique and everyone commented n how nice they were :) x

    Im making my own, I have everything except the heart shaped hole punch. But I based my design on a sample that I got from a website. Worked out the costing and it was cheaper to do it myself x

    im making my own, it works out so much cheaper. i did make some before which cost me about 30p per invite to make but ive since changed my mind and its gonna cost me about 40p per invite but they'll look so much better.
    cost me about £4 for red and white card (50 sheets of each)
    £8 for the diamante hearts
    £2 for the ribbon
    you can get everything so cheap on bay of e lol

    I made our own - nothing fancy, just a gold heart photo I found online and some swirly writing.

    Bought cards from crafthobby at £5 for 50 invites and printed them ourselves

    I'm making my own, but I didn't want 'traditional' ones, with lace or any other embellishments. I spent £10 on a discounted piece of design software and I've designed everything on that - from invites, to candy buffet signs to the seals to to go on the back of the invite envelope. I can export them to PDF then either print the basic stuff myself, or for the larger or more specialised printing I can email the PDF across to the printers, who charge very little for the actual printing.
