Wedding Invitations...

Recently I have been putting a lot of thought into how I wanted my wedding invitations to look. Traditionally invitations have been a keepsake that add a touch of class to your wedding. There are so many different styles of stationery available these days from something quite elaborate to something very simple. I was looking for something eye catching, that refelcted the wedding...yet simple.

After getting so many quotations it became quite evident that this was not going to be a simple and wallet friendly exercise. For some reason I could not fathom that pieces of paper were so darn expensive!! I am not a "crafty" person so the thought of putting them together myself was extreamly daunting (plus who has the time!), and I was trying to avoid it at all costs!!!

Recently my partner ordered some business cards through an online provider. After the serveral spam emails I was sent, I actually realised that they also printed invitations. For the next couple of hours I trawlled the website looking for a design that appealed to me. Believe it or not I acutally came across something that I immediately fell in love with! So with this very exciting news I decided to draft up an online proof, they looked absolutely stunning and were much better than I was expecting. So with this in mind...my partner decided that we should have a poke around the website to see if there was something else we could design for the wishing well cards. It turned out that they had a place card template that could be used.

So with both of the proofs designed, we were extreamly happy with the price. Today my partners business cards arrived, and for the price we paid they were more than perfect. Inside the box of cards there was something else that got me pretty excited...a coupon for 33% off your next purchase! At this point in time I was like I don't care how far away the wedding is...we must print this stuff. So I triple checked everything and proceeded to the checkout. We ordered 50 of the invites, and 50 of the wishing well cards, taking into account extra people, printing errors or human error. For a grand total of $69.00 we got 50 invitations and 50 wishing well cards including postage!

I cannot wait for them to arrive! I will keep you all posted!
