Invitation costs!!

I used Vistaprint, great quality and choice. They cost £1 each.

I've used this site http://paper-shaker.com/

I've not been able to customise as much as I'd like but the ones I've tweaked look really nice and can have flourishes added in my own time if I wish. C. £110 for Invitation, RSVP, and Direction cards - the folding and finish skews the price, but flat cards are about £1-140 ish each

We went for Vistaprint cards - waited until there was a 50% deal (usually every month or so) and ordered then as ultimately like you say most people throw them away. I think we got 80 with envelopes, RSVP's and address stickers for about £40. We got save the dates which were magnets from there too so they matched. You can upload your own designs too.

I also couldn't be bothered to make them - I originally priced this up but was working out more then I hoped and when factoring in the time (over 1 hour for 1!) it wasn't worth it in our opinion.

Hah, we bought ours from card factory! None of our guests would have cared a jot what the invites looked like, so we figured it was an area we could easily cut back on. I think they cost us about a tenner :-)

Ours were from Vintage Rose Wedding Invitations and cost £3 each, but we only needed nine. I suspect if we'd needed more we may have shopped around a bit!

We are using an app/wedding website to do everything as I refused to pay for things that people will just end up putting in the bin!

I used ebay for our evening invites- jumpfox-invites. It was about £30 for 100 plus envelopes and they are really lovely!

Vistaprint here - its costing us £104 for day invites, evening invites, rsvp cards, order of service all with matching envelopes and stickers

I spent a small fortune on our invites, £5.50 per one! To me they were very important and I wanted them to be amazing (which they are!). The invites are the first contact anyone had with our wedding so I wanted them to have the 'wow' factor x

wow I would love to see these! Ours cost £2.75 each - pocket fold style so no need to faff with inserts

My fiancé has a background in design and has all sorts of apps on his iPad so he designed and made ours. They are perfect and totally us. We couldn't find any we liked online and these feel so much more special because we made them. We bough the card, the envelopes and took it to a local printers. We had silly amounts quoted at us for invites we didn't even like that much. This way we got to do day and evening invites, additional information and our own RSVPs so takes the hassle away for guests. We were quoted up to £650 but ended up paying about £80 for everything!

We did spend quite a fair bit but totally worth it. They were around £3 each

We paid £175 for our invites but it was the OH's boss's wife who made them and she just charged us for the materials and didnt charge us anything to make them which was handy. There lovely though, we sent some out earlier this week and have already had messages saying how lovely they are. If I was creative enough I would have liked to have made them but unfortunately im not and we got offered a good deal so thought why not.

You can get some lovely invites from vistaprint and websites like that though. When we first found out the price of some of them my OH said we should just invite everyone via facebook haha I said no pretty quickly

I bought my day invitations from eBay; 50 for £25. And they are incredible! Folded with ivory card and beautiful ribbons. Just shop around and don't be disheartened

Feel Good Wedding Invites via Etsy. £67 for 40 day invites plus envelopes. Haven't arrived yet but the samples were gorgeous and the communication with the owner was quick and friendly. We've kept costs down by not bothering with inserts or RSVP cards.

I'm planning on printing my own. Have started designing them. I've checked on paper cost and will be about £20 for 100 sheets of parchment. I just need sealing wax and a stamp that I'm guessing will be another £20ish. Mine will be scrolls with RSVP details inside rather than a seperate RSVP card.

We home made, and i love them. i would flash, but im not allowed until our guests have received them!

For me as longs as the guests have the necessary information then that is all that matters. I've bought some pearlised cream card and will print the information on them. Will probably use a edging hole punch top and bottom. Job done.

We had passport invites around £3.50 each with boarding pass rsvps and regular invites at £2.00 each I think. I would have diy them but my strength is textiles not art so I swiftly scraped that idea! I Was hesitant to pay so much for invites but when we received them I completely understood why they cost a fair amount. Mine are superb and the few I have sent out I have had fantastic feedback for. The work, materials etc that go into them justify the cost. You can get basic invites from places like Clinton cards and paper chase etc
