What kind of invitation do you want to make? First search for DIY wedding invitations online and see what style you like. Come up with a design you want. Then decide on whether you want it professionally printed or use your own printer. (Look for local printer shops to get an idea of prices- close to me a Chinese printer can do 100 invitation text in thermography (letter ink raised up from page) for $60. Then, look at paper at craft or scrapbook stores to see what you like, you can order bulk online. Then decide on text and font.

Buy bulk cardstock from Michael's for cheaper.
