I'm so exciting my invitations are here! I thought I'd share my experience with Ann's Bridal Bargains to help out some other brides who may be skeptical. I ordered the invitation with free response postcard - 150 invitations for at total of just under $170 after shipping and taxes (I used a 25% off coupon and upgraded to the heavier weight paper). I placed my order mid-day on 8/20 and they were delivered on 8/22 - I was so shocked at how quickly I received them.
I could not be happier with my invitations, the quality is amazing! I just wanted something simple but classic & these are exactly that. I loved that Ann's Bridal Bargains allowed you to customize colors, fonts, & basically anything with the actual invitation other than the background. I looked at many different options before deciding to order from here, but when it came down to it, I didn't feel like spending a little more money somewhere else was really worth it.
I also wasn't sure how to handle RSVPs because we are planning to do mainly online RSVP with only the older crowd (grandparents, great aunts, etc) getting the card to mail back - so I just put a blurb about the RSVP & website on the back. We also decided to put directions to the venue on the back per our venue's suggestion because it's out in the country and GPS takes people on back roads. Although we could have done an insert for directions, this was more cost effective.
