personalized stationary sources

[happilyeverafter]

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows of any companies that do nice personalized stationary. I have found a few sets I like but they are so expensive - and before I submit to paying so much $$ i''d like to see if anyone knows of any sites that are more friendly on the purse! I love coloured, textured (or heavy) paper and i''d like a monogram on the front. Here is my top runner currently, but I wince at the pricetag - $3.25 each (and that''s a volume discount)! I would prefer not to DIY but if it''s a lot cheaper I would - I diy''d my invites and tho they turned out nice they took me forever! Please help with any suggestions of sites!!

Although I haven''t tried this yet... I have had friends order from Asia. I need to find out how they did it and how much they paid.

I have always used Crane''s - ecru with gold engraving [either a script monogram or script name and address depending on whether it is a card or letter head] and gold edging and matching ecru envelopes with gold foil lining [engraved address only on envelope flap].
