cardstock for invitations

[EyeElle]

Hey all,

I am looking for cardstock for my DIY invites and I was wondering if any of you know good websites that I can order them from??
I would ideally love deep purple metalic cardstock at a good price.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Not sure of any sites, but I suggest a stationery store, AC Moore or Michael''s. Do you plan to print on the cardstock? Not sure purple would work, unless it''s of a lighter shade. Also metallics tend to not hold the ink as well.

I just ordered some samples from www.invitationkitsdirect.com and I was VERY happy with them. It was $2 for a bunch of things.

This place is really awesome. There is a store in NYC which I visited and can attest to the quality and multitude of possibilities they have in stock!

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I will definitely visit each site.

megumic - no I won''t be printing on the metalic paper - its sort of the outside of the invite, I plan on using a white matte paper to do my prinitng on as it will be easier.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me out

I used paperpresentation.com to order my materials for my bridesmaid invitations - here is the thread: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-diy-bridesmaid-invitations-pre-bridesmaid-gift.142431/

I just finished my save the dates and will soon be ordering the materials for my actual wedding invitations. They are WONDERFUL!!! Excellent customer service, great packaging (arrived with no bends in the paper and was safely packaged), and they have SO much stuff!

Another cardsandpockets.com bride here! I did just order the pocketfolds and envelopes for my invites and used linen finish cardstock from Staples for my main invite printed materials but I was very pleased with the quality of items I got from cardsandpockets.com.

I am also a cardsandpockets bride. I am in the process right now of my DIY Pocketfold invites, but I am sooo impressed with the quality of everything from the pocketfolds and mats to the envelopes.
