Okay so, I am having a pretty expensive and grand wedding that will be black tie. My fiancé and I didn't want to go overboard on the invitations but also didn't want anything cheep. We ended up picking out beautiful invitations that we loved but we didn't pay too much attention to the paper...which then I remembered is very important. When we got our proofs it said that the paper material would be matte, which is pretty cheep. We used matte for our engagement party invitations and our save the dates. When I asked to change the paper to either linen or cotton, since it would then also change the designer the price doubled! Invitations are to be thrown out once the wedding is over but this is like the presentation to our wedding.

Please help! What should we do?!

    We're having a black tie wedding and our invitations are letterpress on cotton. I never realized how expensive invitations would be! That being said, if you're having a nice ribbon with a crystal broach then you can probably get away sticking with matte paper. I really don't think it's that big of a deal.
