Why do announcements have to be so confusing and expensive!?! According to the list Rhonda gave me, there are 60 people alone on that list, and I have at least 20 other people just from work and my social life that I want to announce to. So how many is too many.... I'm trying to think about how many I ordered when I was in high school, and I still have left overs from then. And do I really need the fancy thank you cards with the seal on them? I'm really sweating this right now, but I don't know what else to do. I can spend $300 and get 50 Announcements, Thank You Notes, Envelope Seals and Tissue Inserts, plus 60 address labels, and one Announcement Cover(which I'm not even sure what it's for). But is it worth that much, and I would have to order more just to get 60. Maybe I should just ask one of the Advertisers to Design it for me, but that makes me feel guilty about using up their free time to do me a favor... PLEASE HELP! I added 25 of each on to the order and now it's $450!
So my show is barely getting started right now, or appears that way. My first image got messed up, all because I forgot one step, so it got dark on me. Then my second image's registration got goofy, so I trashed it too. Now I'm starting to print the third color of my third image, the 2nd of my 4th, and hopefully the first of my 5th. By next week I should have three done, if not more. I'm going to do at least 6 images total, unless I go overboard with the colors. I'm trying really hard to keep it simple, but less isn't always more...

You can check with other companies or even a printshop to see what their prices might be. I know you can get announcement paper/envelopes at a paper supply store, & make you own Thank you's. Might be worth checking out. Wish ya luck on the rest of your projects...Love ya!
I just bought blank paper/invites from Staples for the lot of them, and bought the smallest package for close family and friends. Most people will throw them away. The rest don't care if they are formal or not. Do whatever causes you the least amount of stress.
thank you notes don't need to be fancy. I still have left overs of those and I really will never get to use them again.
The announcement cover is like a book to hold your announcement in and display it, but that is only needed if you want to display your announcement. I got a cool frame for my diploma but that is because i wanted to show off my degree not my announcement.
Melanie had a good idea about the generic announcement cards for the random extended family and such. That will totally save $.
I know I am slow in reading this and maybe you can change your order.
sorry I gave you bad numbers yesterday. Sadly our family and family friend #'s have changed due to just time and many of them going to heaven.
OH Don't forget grandma and grandpa Rhoades have a new address.
