Some people get all the luck! I''m printing my own invites so I don''t have any company suggestions. What is the theme you''re going with?

I''ve seen some really nice ones on MyGatsby.com

Paper-Source.com has pretty kits and materials - if you wanted to print them yourself but not make them from scratch you could check that out.

HTH!

also www.finestationery.com has great stuff, i have gotten a few things from there before.

we got ours on www.mypersonalartist.com , they are typically watercolor reproductions, so pretty.

papyrus has a lot of companies...

I did my invites in letterpress and designed them myself so I don''t have too many links for full service invites... and most of my links are for letterpress...

justmytypeletterpress.com
notfromabox.com

I like my gastby too.

My aunt handmade our invites and programs using rubber stamps (sounds cheesy, but they were simple and elegant and I loved them), but I got my guestbook from Crane''s and they have absolutely beautiful stationery! The website is crane.com. Papyrus also has beautiful designs.

Mygatsby.com is a great source. Very reasonably priced.

I love the stuff that Paper Source has and you can actually order custom letterpress invitations online. They sell a full line of envelopements too. Paper Source

We got our tuxes at Al''s and they gave us like 60% off the invites, don''t know who you are using for the tuxes but Al''s has a great selection there- you don''t have to use Al''s tuxes to get invites either.

We ordered ours from www.rexcraft.com and were very pleased. They have a huge selection of invitations in all price ranges.

I went the custom route but I''ve heard great things about mygatsby.com and Jean M (myjeanm.com).

[gingerBcookie]

Nope not chinese, but those ionvite are really cute!

So I''ve chosen my invite! Colors are cocoa pocket fold, dark red sheer organza ribbon, crimson border, ivory cardstock, cocoa lettering. Cross fingers everything will be ready in time!
