Does anyone know about designing wedding invitations?

My sister is getting married next summer. I am helping her look for some affordable wedding invitations and favors. Does anyone recommend any sites for reasonably priced invitations and cards? She likes the idea of giving out CDs as wedding favors, too. It would be great if those could match her invitation design.

Just throwing a plug in for InvitesGalore.com. We have a huge selection of wedding invitations You can search here by budget, theme, style etc. We don't do CD invitations but if she opts for printed we have exquisite invitations at accessible prices.

Good luck!

We ended up reverse engineering a design that we liked and made the invitations ourselves, thus saving us money. Forwarning, it takes a lot of time to do it yourself, but if you have the time and resources, then I would recommend that.

Here's is an example of a pocketfold invitation:

We chose 3 paper colors for the design: Metallic gold, coral, and off white. From there we printed the design and spent days folding and putting the card together. The only requirement for the paper was that it had to be an 8.5 x 11" sheet (standard paper size), so that we can put it through a standard printer to "stamp" the designs and fold marks for the card.

The main logo that is was on all of our cards, gifts, website, etc. was the following. This was to help bring everything together:

Again, if you're interested, I could send you our designs and you could get some inspiration.

Sincerely,
Peter; ▶ Reply to This
