Ensemble Paper Style is Single Panel White or Ecru Baronial.
Simple Ensemble is based on Folding Invitation and non-Folding
Respond Card both with printed Envelopes. Complete Ensemble is
based on above plus Reception Card, Thank You Note, Place Card,
and Wedding Program. All prices derived from 1997 catalogs and are
rounded to the nearest dollar. Mail Order prices are based on
three catalogs AND some mail order companies did not have Folding
Invitations. Queblo papers are available in lots of 50; Paper
Direct in lots of 25. Dealer and Mail Order usually available in
lots of 25. None of the prices includes any shipping fees which
may vary from company to company. Do it yourself costs include the
cost of our software.
The Geographics Wedding Kits (Office
Depot) are $35 and include 50 Invitations, Responds, and Thank You
cards and all envelopes.
But the real savings is in using
Plain Paper and printing one of the built-in designs. 50
invitations for $19 plus $20 for the software for a total of $39!
Certainly not as elegant as a vendor paper . . . but can keep you
within a tight budget.
Because of the wide range of prices and paper availability, you
should base your decision on your own analysis of cost versus the
work involved. |
