Hi all!

Just thought I'd share - for those of you (like me!) not skilled enough to make your own, I've found reduced 'print your own' wedding stationery in the M&S sale:

RSVPS with envelopes down to £1.50 for 10 (down from £3.50):

Order of Service / Menu with envelopes down to £4 for 10 (down from £9.50) (Although these simply say 'wedding' so could be adapted to whatever you like inside really):
http://www.marksandspencer.com/Print-Your-Own-Wedding-Stationery/dp/B001QGSQA8?ie=UTF8&qid=1261953139&categoryNodeID=&ref=sr_1_9&page=&node=42966030&sr=1-9&mnSBrand=core&rh=

Thank you cards £5 for 10 (not actually reduced as far as I can see, but they match):
http://www.marksandspencer.com/Cream-Black-Thank-You-Cards/dp/B001QW1PC8?ie=UTF8&qid=1261953139&categoryNodeID=&ref=sr_1_5&page=&node=42966030&sr=1-5&mnSBrand=core&rh=

Anyway, there didn't seem to be any actual 'invites' in the range available, but having bought one set of rsvps / order of service cards in store to see what they're like (good quality) I've discovered you can detach the little arrow saying 'wedding' or 'thank you' etc and change them around! So I'm swapping the 'wedding' arrows off the big order of service cards onto some thank you cards (which are more invite sized) to turn them into invites, and leaving the order of service fronts blank. Does that make sense? I think I'll have to make my own paper inserts for the new 'invites' but that should be simple enough.

There are lots of other bits and pieces that match this range too on the M&S website.

Anyway, at £190ish for 180 'invites', rsvps etc, order of services etc delivered - I'm happy!

I can come back and let you know how the transformation of thank you cards into invites goes if anyone is interested!

Edit: Forgot to say: if you spend over £10 you get the software CD to go with it, which I assume has all the layouts etc on it. I can report back on that too if anyone wants to hear!
