This is probably the first of what is likely to be a long run of "wedding" threads!!

Can anyone help with supplying and printing wedding invites - we're currently thinking that we'd like to have one of Happy Snapper's pictures on the front with some non icky words inside but are prepared to be guided by someone who knows what they are talking about!

Probably between 100/150 invites, possibly to include some kind of small reply card to make life easier.

Cheers

Size of invitation (A6? A6 4pp? A5? A5 4pp)
Is there just one kind of invitation or two (seperate day/evening).
Is the invitation just a cover or is there a stapled insert?
What material do you want it on?
Is it just to be printed black? 1 colour? 2 colours? full colour?
Do you require matching envelopes?
Would you be supplying artwork?

Same for reply card really.

Thanks all, I'll get in touch with you both and will give some thought to what we actually want (which I guess would be helpful!).

bhs.co.uk did some off the shelf ones for my sister, they were a LOT cheaper than ours from confetti.co.uk

Doing mine myself, all 150 of them. Got to save the pennys somewhere, given that pennys are all I'm going to have left.

We've only got pennies to start with my initial thoughts are that they aren't that pricey to get done and by the time you've bought ink, card, envelopes etc. plus spent the time doing them it's probably not too bad to get them printed properly.
