Wedding Are these invitations just *too* cheap??

[alli_esq]

Hi, everyone! I am just at the beginning stages of wedding planning (we got engaged in April, but that was just before law school finals and I only now am done with the bar exam), but a friend of mine used this company and I thought her invitations (and all of her paper-works, actually) looked lovely...

I know nothing about stationary, but I am on a very limited budget (which means I''m sure I''ll be posting here a lot looking for ideas--I''m always reading what you ladies have to say!!), so I''m wondering: have any of you used this or seen them in person? Are they very informal? I need opinions and help!!

I have no personal experience with the company, but they look lovely! If your friend used them and you liked her invitations, it sounds like a really good deal!

Some of the designs look REALLY informal, but some of them look really great too! Besides, there''s nothing wrong with an informal invitation if it matches the feel of your wedding! If you find ones there that you love, I say go for it!

 

[Clairitek]

Ditto to what Sabine and Buttercup said. I think those invitations are really adorable and fun! I love the colors and designs that I looked through just now on the site. If they fit your budget and you like them then go for it!

I like them! They remind me a lot of wedding paper divas : http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/

I would also take a look at wedding paper divas because their prices are very reasonable and I like their product a lot (I ordered a bunch of samples from them and one of my friends used them for her invites).

Good luck!

You can order a sample to see how you like the paper. It says 15 point paper, which I am not familiar with, usually it seems to be listed in pounds...not sure if that is what they meant, but 15lb would be super light, so they might mean something else...
If you let us know what you are thinking about in terms of colors, mood, setting, lots of us would love to search for affordable invites for you. I too love wedding paper divas (and white aisle), but thought they were still a bit spendy.

Agreed. WPD is who we used and we loved them. They were very reasonable but the printing/fonts/graphics were very high quality too.

They JoceyBella ones too all look very informal to me, but there is NOTHING wrong with that if you are having an informal wedding! I think mine were pretty informal too and everyone loved them.

The invites are very informal, but that''s okay if they match the style of your wedding. They look cute!

Have you considered http://www.invitationconsultants.com/? They are who I used and they were cheaper than the ones you listed and they have been a dream to work with. Our invites didn''t look "cheap" at all, very classy. They were really good at working with us and providing suggestions and what not, really worth a look.

They remind me of Wedding Paper Divas too. Get samples. How cheap or nice they are depends on the paper and the way the printing comes out. And you can only tell by holding it in your hands.

Got my Rehersal Luncheon invites from wedding paper divas. The process was a snap and a dream. SO easy. The invites were affordable and nice too! I recommend them.

Which one was your favorite? That would help with judging the formality. (For example, the Dandelions seem alot less formal than the Antique one). Also, the formality of the wedding is important (an informal affair on the beach or a big church wedding)?

I''m planning on getting mine from RexCraft, and the prices seem pretty close, better if you need more than 50! (I was looking in the Classic section, but I''m seeing now that some sections are ALOT more expensive) Just my $0.02!

Congratulations and Good Luck!!!

I like them! As others have said, if your wedding is a very formal event, the invitations may not match the formality. If that doesn''t matter to you and/or your wedding is less formal, go for it. I really like them.

 

[Rhea]

They have some very cute designs and vary a lot in formality which is good. I don''t think they''re too cheap.

 

[FoxyBride]

I think they look great, and the price makes them look even better. My family wouldn''t know the difference between these and something I bought at Walmart so I don''t plan on making a big deal of the invites so I think they''re perfect!

Thank you so much for your input, ladies! I am putting the cart before the horse with this one--I haven''t even decided on a date and am only starting to look at venues this coming week, haha...but thank you for the lovely ideas--I hadn''t heard of them, but now I''m looking at WPD, invitation consultants and Rexcraft too--I think their selections definitely have more variety and can go more formal than the ones I saw on the other site, and I think I''m going to need it more formal...so thank you!

You are a knowledgeable bunch with such good taste! I will certainly be posting a lot more here soon, especially once I start looking at venues...I''m looking at about 6 in three days, so I will keep everyone updated thank you again!!
