Tier 1 invitations: starting at $2 per invitation
An invitation in our $2 and under price range would likely be a pre-designed creation on a nice card stock that is flat printed with a single envelope. To stay on budget you may need to have your return address hand-written instead of printed. If you need reply information, those cards are additional, but you can also print reply information, directions, and other details on the back of some of these styles for no additional cost. Our best priced designs for this option are on our web site at freshink.printswell.com, and our wedding value series are great options that start in this price range.
