    What exactly do you want them to look like? The most affordable invitations I've come across were at Ann's Bridal Bargains website. I bought mine off Zazzle during a black Friday sale.

    Ali express does those. Of course with ordering with them it takes longer for items to get back to the U.S.

    Ann's Bridal Bargains! Mine came out beautiful for 75 invitations, 75 Rsvp cards, 75 inner and outer envelopes, and 50 information cards it was less than $120.000. I picked the shimmer cardstock for an added touch. I love them! So many invitations to choose from and customize.

    I found it much more cost efficient to make them myself.

    I ended up ordering envelopes from envelopes.com. I got 200 A7 and 200 A1 for $38. https://www.envelopemall.com/cougar-natural-5-1-4-x-7-1-4-a7-envelope-100-pack.html

    I found 250 sheets of 110lb cardstock paper at staples for $20 that I will need to cut into the appropriate sizes. https://www.staples.com/Staples-Card-Stock-8-1-2-x-11-White-250-Pack/product_490887

    I found this custom wax seal to give it that extra touch for $8. I plan on getting ribbon or string and using the seal over it. You can get the wax on the same site for like $4. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32343987571.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.58e74c4d6eYf5r

    I will be using a template similar to this one for the invites. It comes with the rsvp card as well! Etsy also has templates for envelope addressing so they'll look nice.

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/740105231/wedding-invitation-template-set-editable?ref=user_profile&pro=1

    The total to do it myself is around $90. This is for 113 invites and I'll have a lot of left over paper/envelopes. It's hard to buy in bulk for my specific quantity because most packets of paper, envelopes, etc., come in numbers of 100. I have 113 so I had to buy 200. I have ink in my printer already but with the simple design I chose, it shouldn't take that much to print these. All of the invites I found from places like Shutterfly and Minted cost much more!

    Hope this helpsSmiley smile
