Discount William Arthur Invitations?

[cctexasbride]

I love Williams Arthur invitations, but they are so expensive since I am needing over 400 invitations!! Does anyone know of any place to get them at a discount? Or, can you recommend another line that I may like -- like tham, but not as expensive?
Thanks!

I was in the same boat as you--found the perfect invite, but was WAY out of my budget. I think I've found a good solution, though it might not work for you. I had the name of a guy who does commercial printing (a one-man operation, but he's been doing it for 7 years). He'll print the invitations, RSVP cards, reception cards and anything else we need for $63 plus the cost of the paper we choose, then he'll cut it to the specific size, then we will assemble them to look like the William Arthur invitations, layer two pieces of paper and tying a ribbon around them. For half the price of the William Arthur invitations alone, I'll get all my paper products. Granted, they will be done in offset printing (cheapest kind, but crisp edges. We could have gotten thermography or engraving, but we're on a budget), but they will have the same flair. I don't think you'll want to assemble 400 invitations by hand, but this might be an option. Just be sure you pick really nice paper, as that is one of the things that makes the invitations so beautiful. Good luck!
