www.lcipaper.com (I didn't use this one because I decided not to make my own, but it was very intriguing when I was toying with the idea)
www.mygatsby.com This site has more "print your own" style. I ordered some (my in-laws asked if I'd mind making the RD invite, which I LOVED doing! ).
This is how they came out
They also have invites that are more formal, like wedding invites. I had a great experience with them- fast shipping, good product.

I bought all my cardstock through yellowroseartstamps.com. Wonderful company, excellent customer service. Prices (at the time) were the cheapest for the stock I needed.
Pocketfolds were bought through My Gatsby. I'd heard wonderful things about them from other people, and they met my expectations. They also were the only place that had the pocketfold color I needed lol.

Some of the places that have been listed so far have 8.5 x 11 cardstock. How do I cut it down? Will they cut it for me for an extra charge? Is there a brick and mortar store that does this?
Larissa Your local library should have a paper cutter that you can do it with, or Kinkos. If not at either of those places, Michaels craft store. They have little measurments on the boards, so you know everything will be the same size.

Paper presentation is actually a store in manhattan (where my MOH lives) so I can see the stuff before buying it (without having to order samples and whatnot). She can pick up stuff for me and go back as needed. They had the best prices for pocketfolds that I found.
Marco paper is just easy and I have heard great things about them. I did find a few sources that were cheaper but nowhere had the same selection as marco paper. I honestly cannot be bothered to write all these companies and ask for something that is not listed on the website. For $35 for 250 sheets, I am not going to count my pennies, IYKWIM.
I already have an embosser and I will probably get more powder off Ebay.
I plan on cutting the paper myself. I love the paper cutter at work. Either that or I will take it to a place like kinkos that has a gigantic machine that can cut a ream of paper all at once.

I ordered the paper for my invites on 8/7/05. I ordered from two different companies in order to try to make a cheaper combo.
Paper-source - Brillant service!! I ordered sage 5 x 7, sage 3.5 x 5, and soft white 4.25 x 5.5 card stock. The order shipped on 8/9/05 and I got it on 8/10/05. Everything was there and in perfect condition.
Yellow Rose Art Stamps - Horrible, seriously. I need to call them on Monday. I ordered ivory envelopes 5.25 x 7.25. They were packaged horribly. The corners on every single envelope were bent and they were mangled around funny in a weird curved shape. The color matches my soft white from papersource perfectly, which is great. They sent the right amount of envelopes, which is also great. BUT they sent the freaking wrong size. My order clearly states 5.25 x 7.25 envelopes and they sent me 4.75 x 6.5 envelopes.
I'm sure this can be fixed. I'm just not impressed with the way the envelopes were packaged so that they were able to get bent. The aren't cut very well so the envelopes have a little hang nail (for lack of a better description) rather than smooth edges. And they are the wrong size!!
