I saw some great DIY invitation kits on "papersource.com" They contain everything you need and are "idiot proof" (good for us!). But honey wasn''t thrilled with any of the designs.

So does anyone know of other companies that do DIY invitation kits?
 
The best DIY invitations I found were at www.invitesite.com
But since my budget still wouldn''t allow for those, I am printing mine on cardstock and cutting them myself, etc. But if money weren''t so tight, I would definitely go for one of the invitesite ones. Good Luck.
 
Gartner makes a bunch of DIY kits - the kinds you see at Michael's, Joanns, Target, Wal-Mart, Office Supply stores (staples, office depot, office max).
Their main site is:
http://www.gartnerstudios.com
They have a link from there to their online store where you can purchase.
If you find one you like, you can also check ebay - i sold a gartner set on their for much cheaper than the $39.99 on their site!

I also found this site when I was going to do DIY. I ordered a sample and they were good quality (best pocketfold prices I found!) http://southwestannouncements.com/products.html

I had also considered ordering from here:
http://www.bridalandbabyexpressions.com/
I had asked them for prices if they just put together the pieces and I printed myself, and they were very reasonable. I never saw any samples though!
 
I physically went to Michael''s and bought mine. I had to see them "in person" to pick out. They had about 8 different ones to choose from. They were $29.99 for 50 & include instructions
 
Or like this one

Wow Amber! Those ARE super-cute. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Would love to hear more.
 
I fell in love with the Carmine Invite from InviteSite, and love that it''s a "partial" diy-
they do most of the cutting and you get all the "parts"

Their customer service has been great, and I searched high and low and kept coming back to them,

www.invitesite.com
 
I am loving invitesite.com

And this one in particular. Who knew DIY invites could be so lovely?

Indie,

That is so pretty!
I think I got a sample of the paper like the one you are looking at- the paper is so pretty in person.
One thing with their samples, you can get as many paper swatches as you''d like, but I think they try to limit to one full-blown sample per person, but the swatches were more than enough to get the idea of the color, quality,etc.
