Plan on buying in bulk and want to have thousand of options? Etsy will be your saving grace, but If you've never heard of Etsy... I forgive you.
To put it simply, Etsy is a site for people to sell their vintage heirlooms, jewelry custom wedding dresses, and more to everyone and everywhere. This site has everything, literally, which makes it perfect for wedding invitations!
Etsy has pages upon pages of options to choose from. However, each seller is different, so be aware of what you want. There are two ways of getting your invites: 1.) Mail 2.) PDF File
If the seller mails them to you, you don't have to worry about getting any more supplies. However, if you get a PDF file, you can print as many as you'd like, which is nice since you would only have to pay a flat fee, but then you would have to find the right size envelopes. Either option works well.

We did this for Anna's invites and they couldn't have turned out better!
This is from a bride's DIY blog; I included her directions below!
"Materials:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Take your invitations one at a time and start to slowly dip in the dye. Start by dipping it all under to a certain point and then start bringing it up slowly. Keep in mind the longer it stays in the dye the more it will get stained. It is probably best to try this out on a practice sheet first to refine the look you want to achieve.
Finally lay it out to dry on a paper towel for a few hours. Repeat this process for each of your invitations. I love doing your invitations DIY because then everyone is different in some way."
Let me know what you think!
With love,

We did this for Anna's invites and they couldn't have turned out better!
This is from a bride's DIY blog; I included her directions below!
"Materials:
- Fabric dye (liquid or powder)
- Invite with words already printed (but no other graphics
- Trash can or container
- Spoon
- Paper Towels
- Glove
Step 1:
Start by setting up your dye in your container. Mix it according to the instructions on the package. I put a trash bag under my container so I wouldn't accidentally stain the floor.
Step 2:Take your invitations one at a time and start to slowly dip in the dye. Start by dipping it all under to a certain point and then start bringing it up slowly. Keep in mind the longer it stays in the dye the more it will get stained. It is probably best to try this out on a practice sheet first to refine the look you want to achieve.
