Ooooh... had totally forgotten about this thread!!!

I am printing them myself for a couple of reasons...
1: I am a control freak!!! I can't deal with it maybe not being exactly what I wanted.
2: I got the gatefold cards REALLY cheap in a multibuy offer (£50 of stuff for £5.99!) so they're a different size, which obviously made the inserts more expensive.
3: I found some vellum which is specifically designed to be printable on by inkjet printers and using Dad's printer it's turned out better than I thought.
4: I bought a massive heavy duty gullotine from a boot sale (ex school type) for £4!!! Bargain! This makes cutting them much much easier.

My invites are working out at around 40p each, including the cost of the butterfly stamp I bought and half the cost of the butterfly punch that I'm also using on orders of service and table plans/numbers etc.
