Our invitations were a labor of love... they took a lot of time and effort, but I think it was worth it.  I got exactly what I wanted.  It saved us a lot of money too.  Here's the price breakdown: 

* Pocketfolders: $0.98 each, from cardsandpockets.com.  I got 150 for pocketfolders and 150 cream envelopes for about $180.00 (includes shipping).  I ordered too many  pocketfolders - see the "for sale" page if you want some!
* Bellyband Ribbon: $14.50 for 100 yds. from bagsandbowsonline.com... more than enough, we'll use extra for OOT bag tags and we'll still have a ton left over!
* Cream Cardstock: $12.99 for 250 pages, from Office Max.  I ended up using more than 1 package, so we'll call it $26.00.
* Orange Cardstock: $0.29 per page, from Archivers.  I bought 75 sheets for the inside and 10  sheets for the bellyband.  $0.29*85 = about $25.00.
* Glue Dots: $9.99 for 360 dots, from orientaltrading.com.  May be cheaper elsewhere, I didn't shop around too much for these.  I ordered 2 packs, so $20.00 total.  I think I had a half-off coupon in there at some point too, but I won't count it here. :)
* Postage: $0.28 for postcard RSVPs and $0.61 for the whole thing.  We only ended up mailing 102 invitations, so the postage was about $90.00

Total: $355.50... For 102 invitations, and including postage, they cost us less than $3.50 each!  I think that's pretty good... before I decided to DIY them, the websites I was looking at had 150 invites and RSVPs for at least a few hundred dollars and that's without postage and without all of the inserts I wanted and no cute pocketfold design.  Also, I had enough for 48 more invitations with no extra cost other than postage.

My step-sister graciously offered her caligraphy talents for our invitations... I think they made them look so pretty - the icing on the cake!

I love the cake stamps - I think they are so pretty.  The polar bear stams were the only postcard stamps available, so they went on our RSVPs.  I think the bear is cute! :)  The ring stamps were used for thank you notes.

I made our Save The Date postcards from orange card stock and printed them on our home printer.  3 fit to a page, and I made about 80 (we weren't sure about some of the guest list, so we only sent them to the must-invite list).  The paper for the 80 STDs cost about $8.  The postage was about $22, so it was only about $30 total! :)

I made these to mimic the layered look of our invitations.  Each one used 2 pieces of cardstock and about 10 inches of brown ribbon.

I am in love with our table numbers!  They are set up like postcards... there is a # and a place we have been on the front, then a description of our trip on the back.  I hope it gives guests something to talk about and I hope they go from table to table to see them all and mingle with everyone else.

They'll be held up by leaf-shaped holders... I'll be selling them afterward, so check out the For Sale page!

We're doing a plated chicken/pork chop dinner.  Even though they're picking what they want, I thought it would be nice to give them a "refresher" before dinner. :)  Also, I listed the sides and the flavors of cupcakes which they didn't get to know ahead of time.

We'll have 1 menu card on each table.

Pretty standard... every guest will get one to show them which table they are assigned to for dinner.  Color will indicate meal choice: cream is for the chicken and orange is for the pork chop.
