The left side is the actual invitation using some free fonts I found online. I printed it on white cardstock using teal and brown ink, then I used an adhesive spray (Super-77, which doesn't stink as bad as I thought it would) to adhere the cardstock to teal paper.

The right is the insert that has our rsvp info (wedding website, rsvp date, and phone number) as well as telling people to go to the website for additional wedding weekend activity details. At the very bottom, it says where we are registered at. This was to save us money on stamps, and also to make sure that people would go to the website to get all the info they needed.

Cost per invite, inc. envelope (not pictured) and postage:
White cardstock: FREE because we had some from forever ago
Teal paper: $0.13
Adhesive: FREE because we've had that can of spray forever also
Ink: I have no idea, we did it on our home printer
Envelope: $0.28
Postage: $0.80
TOTAL: $1.31 (if you wanna add extra for all that free stuff that we would have otherwise had to pay for, it'd still probably only add up to $2 or less!!!)

How many did you make?! They look really great! Sure can't beat that price, either.

Looks great. You did an awesome job! Just a question though ... did you bring the invite to the post office to find out how much postage you need? Because square envelopes costing more because they need special handling. I just hate for you to send them and find out you didn't have enough postage.

Yes, I did... I went last weekend, and she said the same thing about square envelopes costing more (dangit!)... it'll be $0.80

Thanks! Our colors began as just teal and brown, then I found it was very difficult to get everything in the same shade of teal... so now our colors are more like brown and teal/turquoise/light blue! :laugh:
