    Hi all
    Im wondering if anyone has the name of websites that have nice, cheap invites? Ive tried vistaprint but their new look website is a bit too clinical... ive also looked at weddingpaperdivas.com the invites are mostly lovely but nothings 'clicking'

    I dont fancy making my own (visions of superglue mishaps and many hours in a and e)

    thanks in advance

    We got ours from this website..... they were quite reasonable and very unusual - got a good few samples from them before we did the final order. When they have one done they PDF the proof for you to make sure theres no mistakes or any changes you want.
    Did have to pay customs on them, so figure that into your costs just in case.
    Seem to have a constant 35% sale on all the prices listed on the website.

    Actually these were the ones we went for but with the dark red colour where the brown is.

    Looking at current price for these ones they're about 1.20 per invite going on 100 invites (before postage costs). Its a couple of years since I ordered but still think that price is fairly cheap (and no self assembly!)

    thank you very much, just having a look now!

    found a site called theamericanwedding.com (i think - heads like a sieve)
    they do ship internationally.
    but i need a us address which can be set up thru the site, any ideas how much this costs? is it a once or or based on your spend or a set rate with every use? baffled..

    Sorry have no idea!

    Just checked through my old email and when I ordered 100 invites it was 75us dollars for postage - that was for 6-10 days postage. The best thing I found about that site was the speed in replying to email, and also when we decided on the ones we wanted we changed quite a few little details and they always said 'no problem' to the requests.

    Happy browsing, if I remember there was a lot there! Would recommend you get physical samples of ones you think you might like. We got a couple of samples that we didn't like half as much in real life as on the website.

    Hi, I got mine from diyweddings.ie, there was a bit of gluing involved but ended up beautiful and everyone has been complementing me on them and best of all they were cheap (but looked expensive)!

    We ordered samples from diyweddings.ie too. You can go for something that involves very little putting together, to be honest most of the designs require little work anyway.
    The majority of the work is the printing. The quality of materials are excellent and very reasonably priced.
    We originally picked out our stationary at a wedding fare and took a sample home, but then we ordered the samples from diyweddings.ie and they were just as good if not superior. By going with those we will save nearly €500 on stationary (Invites, RSVP and Thank You Cards).

    Have a look on www.zazzle.com and in particular at a shop by Cardsbycathy. I got mine and my mass booklets here and they were stunning and very reasonably priced!
