I needed wedding invitations asap and the fastest turnaround I could find was at mygatsby. The bride’s side is all coming from Korea so they don’t need invites - these are mostly for our parents’ friends. I liked these fall themed invitations from Papeterie but they would have taken too long to print.

I found a similar invitation - the Madison - at mygatsby. Here’s the timeline for the turnaround:

• September 28th - Placed the order online.
• October 6th - Received proofs via email (6 business days later. They said it would take up to 7-10 business days)
• October 6th - I approved the proofs the same day.
• October 10th - Invites were shipped out. (2 business days later. They said it would take 5-7 business days to print)
• October 11th - Received invites.

I was very happy with the speed with which everything was completed - 13 days from ordering to receiving. It doesn’t look like it in the picture, but the invitation layer is more gold like the invite above.

The total for 50 invitations, RSVP cards, RSVP envelopes, inner and outer envelopes, return addresses printed on the outer envelopes and rsvp envelopes, and s&h came out to $206.10. We had to affix the invitation layer to the backing layer with double sided tape because it would have taken them up to 4 business days longer if they assembled it. (and we needed them asap!)

Though I still like the ones from Papeterie better, overall I’m very happy with the way they turned out. They used thermography printing (much to my happy surprise), cardstock quality was very good, plus they were a bargain. The only problem was that the outer envelopes they sent us were too small. I called them and they happily shipped us a replacement.

If you’re looking for affordable, quality invites with very quick turnaround, I’d highly recommend mygatsby.
