Making Wedding Invitations

I heard somebody around here bought their invitations at one of the office supply places and printed them using Word.

You can purchase unprinted invitations at Michael`s craft store. They have a good selection and are very nice. My son is getting married 6/5/04 and we purchased the invitations at Michael`s - they are beautiful and very easy instructions included. Also you can purchase many other items for your big day! Good luck. If you don`t have a Michael`s Craft store - I`m sure you have other craft stores around. Most all the craft stores or scrapbood ,stationary supply stores carry a large selection. Good luck.

Thats where I got my invitations and I just print them on my printer. The lady I purchased them from is very nice and sweet and has templates to help you out with.
Enchanting Dreams is what her EBAY store is called

I was also thinking about this. All I have nearby is a Staples, so I went to look there. They have some very simple invitations in gold or silver, but they are pretty. They are just as nice as the cheapest samples I have received from magazines (but these are around $75/100!) The invitations at Staples come in a pack of 50 for $24.99. Thank You cards to match are 50 for $9.99. They also have vellum paper kit that you can also buy to decorate more if you want. I need around 150 invitations (that is including a few extras) and the total cost for me including the Thank You`s is $104! Also, response cards and envelopes come with the invitations! I haven`t been able to get to a Michael`s but would be interested in comparing a few more.

Party places sell blank invitations too that you could just use your printer to create. You might want to try like a Party City or Factory Card Outlet. Wal-mart even has blank invites -- some of the ones in Chicagoland even have a whole "bridal" section.

It is funny that I saw this message! I just purchased my do-it-yourself invites from Michaels...tonight. The kit includes pressed flower paper, vellum, ribbon, response cards and envelopes for both. I used the 40% off coupon that comes with the weekly flyer. It was $26 bucks for 50! Two Boxes for $50. Go check it out!

I got mine from Michael`s and printed them on my home computer...but if you don`t have a Michael`s, A.C. Moore is also a good craft store.

How difficult is it to print them out on the computer? Does a special setting or type of printer have to be used?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I bought my invitations on-line and I used word to set up and printed them on my own computer. Nothing special about my printer. I think that they truned out beautifully. I was able to make up my own wording and customize them by dropping the writting down and adding a bow at the top. I love them and the few people that have seen them have had only good things to say about them.
Good luck,
Sandie
