Hi, were having 50 adults and 10 children to the church and meal and then a further 60 invited to the evening. To the meal its just close friends and family. x

Most weddings I've been to are 150+....one of them was over 300.....but then I live in Northern Ireland where families tend to be bigger. I have over 60 first cousins, thirty aunts/uncles....A small wedding around here would be 100 !

Chelbel, I'm struggling to get what you mean?

I'll try and rephrase...
If it's one person of the couple going then it's £12, if it's both of the couple going then it's £17 for a taster class to experient with a few designs. Then if they want to come back and make more they can come to workshops for 4 hours, where a selection of embelishments, and PC with printer, and a selection of card/paperstock is available. They can make their own invites but with some supervision. If you're only making a few you should be able to make them in one class, if you're making 200 (thus using lots of materials) it should take you much longer. Again that is priced for someone coming on their own, or a couple coming together.

Have I made more sense?

I can't see it working that way.

I think if there were classes you'd need to just be taught the basics of how to layer embellishments etc. Placing things on the page to create a good design and some ideas on inserts what to include etc. Gate fold, pocket fold and maybe something more simple for example.

I can't see it being practical for the classes to be available for you to make the whole lot of your invites, just for you to learn the basic skills to go home and make them for yourself.

But then I guess it depends if it was to be 1 to 1 tuition or small classes, and what resources the teacher had available.

I think it depends on the person, some people don't have the room or peace at home to do it. My local adult ed had a christmas card making workshop that was on a similar level and that worked.

Thanks for all the responses guys much appreciated!

What I mean by "classes" is exactly as kitschkitty states: a one-off class where you look at how to embellish cards, how to cut inserts, make about 6 or 7 different designs , get info about good and cheap suppliers and hopefully by the end you would have the confidence to go off and make your own wedding stationery. It would be a one off cost of about £15

I would envisage having lots of punches, die-cutting machines, guillotines for the class member to use and have a maximum of 8-10 people per 3 hour class to ensure everyone got as much time as they needed. Hope this clears up what I meant!

I understood the first time but that's for rephrasing it.
I think that is alot of money for the 4 hour workshop, especially when it took me 1 day to make 70 for £40 (I also forgot to include I have enough left over to make evening invites)

I agree
