Now that my save the dates have made it out and I’ve finally got into the swing of things at school, I figured it was time to start thinking about invitations. I think it will take at least a month to design, print, and receive the invitations, and another month to put them together and send them out. So I figured I should start early. (Let’s be honest. Once there’s a ring on your finger (and perhaps even before?) it’s NEVER too early. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: “No one has ever regretted being prepared.” :D)

I am not in love with any of their designs, but their prices are quite reasonable, and there seems to be the opportunity to customize your own invitation.

White Aisle is not as affordable as the other options, but they have some really amazing vintage-lace designs.

There are obviously some GREAT deals available if you are able to create your own design (or have a friend who is able to help you out!). If you aren’t that lucky you could try Sweet Penelope or A Printable Press. There are also a number of letterpress studios that will design for a cost without printing or print a design if you have one, so make sure to ask if you can’t afford the design and the printing at the same studio.

I am SOOOO obsessed with the following wedding suites. I love love love them for very different reasons. The first one was definitely a case of love at first sight, and I’ve already contacted the designer to inquire about prices, customization, etc. The second is sooo breathtaking that I literally gasped when I saw them. They were designed by the groom, so there is no way to make them mine. But I am sure as h*ll going to use them as inspiration! I love the mixture of textures, patterns, and fonts. It also combines a variety of vintage and tropical images.
