you should be able to print them on your own printer, provided you have a decent printer. if you don’t have a printer that will do the job, don’t even bother going somewhere to get them printed. chances are they will screw it up or it will cost you an arm and a leg.
order invitations online, or go to a custom invitation store.

I printed mine at my mom's house. We designed them together, it wasn't that hard.

It might be cheaper to print them at home, but it may also make you crazy. You’ll have to either buy several extras to get the margins, etc. just right or use blank paper mocked up to the same size, etc. as the actual invites. Then you can count on the printer getting jammed a couple of times at least. Also count on running out of ink – I don’t know how many you are printing, but the printer ink costs more than you think. It will most likely take you twice as long as you think it should. An important consideration if time is of the essence.

Personally, I would type up how you want the invites to look and then run that and the actual invites over to Kinkos and Office Max and ask them how much it would be to set up the print job and then do the actual printing. Then you compare the two places’ prices to each other AND to what you’re willing to spend not to do it yourself.

Those invites are MEANT to be printed at home. If you take them somewhere to get printed, what is the point? You may as well custom order the stationery in that case. Also, printers typically like to use their own paper supply-- not for you to bring in your own paper.

I was originally going to print mine myself because i thought it was cheaper, but i found the perfect invites for like less than $80 for 200 of them. That was including colored ink and stuff.

of course they can get wayyy more expensive then that, but check out ann’s bridal bargain’s website.
you can pick the kind you want and it takes you step by step and can even put what you want. it is an AWESOME site.

good luck

Depending on your printer and how many bells and whistles it has, you could easily do them at home.

Get the lay out how you like it, pick a font and an ink color that suits you and print a few test invites on plain paper. Hold them up against the blank invite to make sure it’s centered and that it’s how you want it to look, and try it with a blank.

You shouldn’t need to try more than one or two actual blanks to see if your printer can handle the thicker paper without smudging or making other ink marks on the invites. If you do one or two and they smudge or blotch the ink, find a printer nearby and go there. I don’t recommend going the online route, only because it’s really hard to tell if their shade of green really is what it appears to be online. If you go to the printer, you can SEE and match it for yourself with your own eyes, vs. winging it on the internet with something that you can’t see with your own eyes and hold in your hand.

Best of luck to you !

P.S. I also recommend doing a quick "printer maintenance" procedure where you check your ink jets and make sure all of the nozzles are working properly. It’s in your control panel under printers and faxes, then find your printer, right click on the icon, and hit Properties, then hit Printing Preferences, then hit Maintenance and then Nozzle Check. This will print a short color test to make sure all of your color jets are clean. If they’re not, you’ll get an option to clean the jets, which you might need to do a few times to get them running at 100%. I use the same piece of paper and keep flipping it around until the top and bottom are all used on both sides for the test.

I know it seems like a lot of steps, but it’s definitely something you want to do if you’re printing something as important as your wedding invites.

I would order them online – it is much more professional, however, if you are looking for a cheaper way to do them, then you could print them at home, providing you have a decent printer – you dont want smudge marks or ink running out when you are printing them.

Hope this helps!

Comment on Do it Yourself Wedding Invites with the cricut expression? by Dee77

I would try Sure Cuts A Lot software. I bought a copy and I don’t even use my cartridges anymore. With SCAL you can use any font you have on your computer. Which means that if you find a font on Dafont.com or some other free site you can download it and cut it on your Cricut. That alone is worth the price. But now they have a new version that cuts any sort of shape you have as well. It use to be only SVG files but now you can use any sort of shape you have on your computer.

they make so many cartridges now. I would try to find a web site for cricut users. there are many.
they do have cartridges for weddings. I would start with finding a font you like.

then looking at any kind of wedding invitation. you can copy the layout out of it.
try your public library under cards/paper craft/scrapbooking, Look in card magazines.
try archiversonline.com.
