    Dunno if this is any help? http://www.youandyourwedding.co.uk/community/forums/thread/229234

    From that thread.. http://www.imaginedoingityourself.com/swan-lake-657-p.asp you could make your own?

    *edit* I'm not saying this is necessarily the cheapest - but just showing it could be done :)

    I would have a go at making them yourself. You could perhaps get a wedding invite made but then add ribbon and the embellishment to it.

    They are very beautiful invies....but very expensive...I'm guessing because of the crystal swan....you would cut the price dramatically by having the plain box rather than the silk one...but you also need to remember that its not just the invites that will be expensive ...they will then be expensive to post to your individual guests...

    You could try making your own they sell crystal sliders on ebay but in honesty you will still be looking at a fairly expensive invite because you are including crystal embelishments.

    Whilst lots of people do keep their invites to be honest once the wedding is over they do tend to get popped in a drawer and dare I say it...forgotton about.

    Hope they turn out well...you'll get a great sense of satisfaction knowing that you not only made your own invites but saved money too...and hopefully enjoyed the process...good luck!
