Hiya girls, wondered if this seemed expensive to you all.. Found some invitations that i like on e bay that i can part d.i.y myself, so i sent the lady a message asking how many where avallible and prices for the amount i'd need and her reply was

Hi
Thank you for your enquiry. For the Cream Broderie as shown with the gold wording 100 invitations (10 packs of 10 @ £11.85 per pack) £118.50, 100 RSVP (10 packs of 10 @ £8.05 per pack) £80.50, 50 Menu cards (5 packs of 10 @ £7.64 per pack) £38.20, 100 Thank You Cards (10 packs of 10 @ £8.25 per pack) £82.50 would come to a total of £319.70 (All prices include cream envelopes except for the Menus) ---

Does this total price seem about right or not? any help please x

noooooooooooooo claire, i got 250 rsvp from vista print for little less than £5 ( they was free just pay postage and vat) i also got 50 menus for just less than £10 my eveing invites just less than £10 i got 100 of them then blinged them up wiv gems and the evening invites came wiv envelope just got little ones for rsvp off ebay! and will get the thank u things from there too go vistaprint co uk hun x

One thing I realised after looking at prices - are you having 100 guests? Remember you probably wont need 100 invites/thank you cards - normally you can half the numbers due to couples/families xx

Gosh, that seems a lot. £320... will have to make my own. Not even planning to spend that much on dress...

Yes that is around the number or invites i need 50 for day guests and around 50 for evening guests, but thanks girls i'll look on vista print and look again on ebay :) xx

no...they are lovely! xx

I'm not keen on some of the designs on there, might have another look on ebay xx

There quite nice ali, going to google quidco and have a nosy be back soon :) x

I had another look on ebay and found invitations, very similar to the other with the high price and this new seller is good, i get the option of choosing a colour to fit my theme and personalise them what ever other way i'd like, so i asked for a price quote from her for 100 invites and she said she will charge me £130 and £12 postage and they come with rsvps and envelopes saving me extra in buying seperate ones. so happy as i really love these invites :) xx

I was going to say I am making my own and I think it cost me about £30 for all the cards/envelopes and inserts to do invites x 50, thank yours x 50, OOS x 60 etc then I am paying £20 for the personalised ribbon which does all the above plus other things I need it for. I got some fab paper for £5 and then its just the cost of the printer ink and my time. Oh and the paper is also for other things I need too for decorations so the theme matches everything.

Thats good xjox shame i dont have patience to make my own lol but defo a good idea hun x

I got a quote of just under a grand for 100 people:
menu's,
save the date,
order of services,
invites,
table numbers,
place cards and
table planner.

Bit steep me thinks but you "only do it once" or supposed to anyways...peh...either way, if theyre what youve chosen, have a look round for the same design but cheaper....or print the design off/order a tester and take them down to a local joint see if they can make them up cheaper.
