Marks and Spencer do a beautiful but small range of print your own, i think its £7.50 for 10 invites. They give you the software to print them yourself at home, if you dont have a printer you could always ask a friend to print them out for you?

Vistaprint.co.uk is good x

Hiya....Bridal Tales do lovely invitations, on 3 of their ranges they have 25 free invitations! www.bridaltales.co.uk

i got mine from M&S - not yet printed them but all are good quality xx

Vistaprint is v good too.x

I got mine from Vistaprint. We put together what we wanted and bought samples (can only buy in batches of 10) and these cost us £10.14. We tweaked them and made them perfect and ordered 100 finalised ones which cost £38 (various offers and discounts on and it was free delivery for orders over £30 too), so they were really cheap! We chose a linen finish as opposed to matt or gloss to make them look more expensive and they really are lovely, I'm thrilled! So we got 100 invites for less than £50!

With the vista print ones - does it have 'vista print' written on the invite ie would anybody know thats where you got them??

Hi

Both myself and a friend who are getting married bought our invitations through a Clinton Cards outlet store.

We paid 99p per pack and they are all Hallmark branded invites - some of them still on sale in regular stores, infact I think they have a promotion on at the moment selling 5 packs for £3.00 - you can get thank you cards and cake boxes too. The ones I got are handmade and are stunning.

I know they have the outlet stores around the country - you could probably try Clintons customer services for a list of outlet stores

Good Luck with your invites!

no they dont...i brought mine from vista print....we actually got the postcards as we got an email to say they are free for 100...so went for it...brilliant quality and although you have to buy for postage its a really cheap way of doing it...... we even got a lawn banner, inside banner, we used the free business cards as save the date, i got a free t shirt which im using as my hen night top. all that cost us £22.00!! which was postage and a couple of changes, you can completley change them so they are bargin

Are you/h2b/a friend any good with a computer?!?

Its dead easy to design your own then get a local printer to print them.

h2b cousin has designed ours with us, and its a little 8 sided booklet/passport, a6 size.

and its costing £35-40ish pounds for 45 of them, being printed with matt gloss covers and all colour printed, and look really nice.

could work out cheaper if you have access to publisher/photoshop/illustrator?! or a friend that can...

I'm designing my own and getting them printed through vistaprint. One of the good things about VIstaprint is if you order something they then keep sending you offers for free stuff.

I got Save the Date postcards for free (had to pay postage only) after ordering Christmas cards.
For invites we're having 3 postcards that I am then making a card pouch for. I'm ordering each set of postcards one at a time, that way they are free each time.

Btw, postcards don't say vistaprint anyway on them but I think my Christmas cards (which were folded cards) did say it in very small writing on the back
