Stationery

No, I don't mean the pens, pencils and ruler type. I mean the invitations, order or service, place names etc. I never knew it would be so difficult to make a decision! Personally it has been more difficult than chosing my actual dress!
I have been looking at designs for 12 months, since I got engaged! The more I look the more difficult I find it!
Today has been a breakthrough! I spent 4 hours on the internet with my Aunt making the final decisions and ordering samples! Woo! We had spoken many times throughout the year about the ideas we both had, and made a few up. Thinking they are 'nice' isn't the statement I wanted to make so, we continued. It was only when I came across an invitation my parents had from their friend that my final idea started coming together! I was told the Bride made them herself from a website that had DIY packs!! The searching began!
As a big fan of 'Wedding Ideas' magazine, I looked at the different websites that they had. After scouring a few DIY site (as this is the cheapest option) we found one that we though had the selection of things that we want! The site we used is www.pureinvitations.co.uk 
 The design is nothing like I had in mind which I have found to be a reaccuring surprise! However I did find that by making a few alterations to the design they had on the screen it worked out slightly cheaper than they quoted! Of course, the more intracet the design the more expensive it is.
I do find that eBay is handy and inexpensive for embellishments, ribbon and designs, but did find it difficult to find the correctly cut card. But by combining the two you can really get the best for your money!
Hope this helps you a little with your Stationery decisions! Happy Inviting!
