How Much Are You Spending On Your Wedding Programs?

Really like this program and have gotten a printing press to recreate the look for $600 for 100 programs. http://www.finestationery.com/product.cfm?prod_id=92922&cm_thisCategory=2&cat=2&cat_id=2&subcat_id=791 But, I'm wondering if I should go with a cheaper program as I don't think anyone outside of...

But, I'm wondering if I should go with a cheaper program as I don't think anyone outside of family will keep them after the ceremony. http://www.finestationery.com/product.cfm?prod_id=90514

FS has basically said I should do whatever I want but I am still agonizing over the decision. Would love to hear everyone's input.

    TeeDub: For those invites, expect to pay $5-8 per invite, depending on where you get them. If you can DIY them, it would be more like $3-4. Just from what I've seen! As a designer I would probably charge about $5.50 per set, but my prices are pretty low.

    Wow I can not think of even spending THAT much on any one thing for the wedding. Your invites cost more than what I had budgeted for the wedding...of course we have gone over. We spent a total of $40 on all of our invites, rsvp cards and such. We are not doing programs because those are really not a necessity.

    @Kate would the $3-$4 mean buying the pocket folds or constructing them? I think I'd rather buy the pocket folds already made, then I can make the inserts.

    Be sure to confirm that the planner won't tack on extra for this added task.

    We're getting ours from http://www.wiregrassweddings.com/Programs-c7/

    We chose the Meagan version, and I love them!

    They aren't cheap, but they are less than $600 for 100...

    @Mary P. : I love these. I guess it's a good thing it's too late for me to change my mind. I could obsess about this forever.

    I went with this boxed scroll. They are $1.35 each.

    We're printing on nice paper. 60 for $40. Although I have graphic design background so that helps.
