Re: wedding stationery
I was thinking of making my own cards, for budget reasons.
There's this card stationary place near my house with lots of pretty paper and ideas too. The cards would have lots of texture to it.
The estimated price for the card and envelope (minus finding someone to type up all the text inside the card) was about $2.00
But since this didn't include R.S.V.P. cards, and the text as I mentioned, economically it comes out being roughly the same as a printed card I'd say.
So yeah, I'm not making the cards anymore, although it would've been fun.
Relatives have told me to get them made in Pakistan, but I don't know about that...I mean sure it'd be cheaper and you could possibly ask for any type of design I assume, but I'm worried about typos. All my relatives have had numerous typos on their cards, despite reminding the printer-people of the correct wording.
I do want R.S.V.P. cards and envelopes to send out with the main invitation...but I'm not so sure if I should have seat reservation cards, etc...I'm still debating the reserved seating option...
As for directions, I intend to just print them off of mapquest cut them up, and throw them in the envelope with the card. :)
