  • jumpfoxinvites.co.uk - found them on ebay and the designer was really helpful and very quick in sending out the proofs and final products. And also the cheapest personalised ones (by far) that I could find.

    I got ours from Etsy. (hitchcockcreative is name of company i think) She did the whole package (Invite, rsvp, printed envelopes) for $2.75 which worked out at only £1.70 per set which was very reasonable I thought considering the cost of invites over her and ty were a bit different from th usual and fitte in wh our barn wdding very well i think. She also did our table numbers to match.
  • Vistaprint for us - we got postcards. I then bought some gems & stuck them on the front to make them look more expensive. I wasn't keen on Vistaprint at first either, but it did work out really cheaply. Only thing was that we had to order 100 when only needed about 30! And then another 100 evening invites when only needed 30! At least it allows for spelling mistakes and bad handwriting!

    Tip is to order as much free stuff in one go - the delivery charges don't change that much. And everything we've ordered has arrived early - so go for the slow delivery option. It's nice that you can get matching sets. We have banners, stickers with our address on, an ink stamp with our address on, evening invites, day invites, business cards (blank) that I can use for place cards - all for less than £20

    We used Vistaprint and I love our invites we put all the details on the front of the invite and put a black and White picture of our church on the back and everyone has commented on how good they look. We used postcards from there as the RSVP cards which we set the menu choices out on and they looked really good. We also got stickers in same design with our address on which we put on the envelopes with the RSVP cards in so all our guests had to do was tick their menu choices and put a stamp on the envelope.

    I will be getting a banner and our evening invites from their as well. Great products and so cheap too!

    ^^^^ We done this too - we used both our accounts so got extra freebie bits and also went through quidco - ended up after all our save the dates*(magnets), day and evening invites (postcards), place names (i used business cards and will fold them in half) total cost is +£4 :T

    I have to say i really really did not like the idea of using vistaprint but defo worked out best option :)

    Good luck.

    I made mine quite easily using card & diamante buckles from Handcrafted Card Company.

    Cards etc were beautiful quality, this is how they turned out after a bit of patience!
