About Mrs. Butterfly

After agonizing over what I should do with invitations, I finally found a vendor that I love. Mrs. Bee recommended Custom Programs, and I found them to be very easy to work with. They are incredibly prompt and I love their designs!! I’ve already gotten 5 revisions to my quote in the last 2 days. I love it when vendors are efficient!

This is what I will be ordering:

  • 5×7 pocket fold
  • 5×7 backing layer
  • 5×7 invitation with thermography
  • 3 inserts for RSVP, Hotel & Transportation, and Rehearsal Dinner in regular ink
  • Envelopes for RSVP with address
  • Seal for pocketfold in 2 layers

I will be assembling them myself, including the seal, to save some money. The website provides step by step instructions with pictures and materials needed for easy assembly!

I intended on spending about $300 to do the invitations myself, but with this company, I’m spending about $500. It’s more than I wanted to spend, but my sanity is worth the $200, if you ask me. I can’t wait to see the proofs, but I can already tell that I love this company. I will probably use them to customize programs, table cards and seating cards as well!

It will take several weeks for the invitations to come in, but these are similar to what they will look like.

I didn’t use custom programs for my invites but I did use them for everything else. Adrienne was super duper prompt about getting back to me… seriously usually within minutes! They were great to work with.

How many invites did you order? I’m trying to find invites that will cost me under $4 per invite. I don’t mind assembling myself; I just don’t want the headache of designing since I’m not very creative.

Thanks for the site! I love their samples.

I designed my own invitations with a designer and then used a printer in Oregon (I’m in VA). It was a harrowing, insane —very expensive procedure and I do not recommend it at all. Use a vendor!
