Hallmark or WalmartEither of these store has wedding stationary. I printed my own wedding invites when I got married nearly 7 years ago, and I saved HUNDREDS of $$ by doing it myself. Just purchase the invites and create a catchy little phrase to print on them. I got this off of a invite website.
You could also find out what sort of invites they are sending for the wedding and copy the style and format that they are already using.
Hope this helps!

I was a Wedding Planner/Caterer for 7 years and did most of the invites myself on my home computer. Most of the time they look BETTER than what you get from a printer because they are more personal. On Consultants Corner today, infact, in the Downloads section I found inserts for wedding invitations that come 8 to a page that tell the guests that the couple is registered with The Pampered Chef. That might be a fun way to get extra orders after the wedding, too. 
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do I need to create homemade bridal invitations?
To create homemade bridal invitations, you will need cardstock or high-quality paper, envelopes, decorative elements like ribbons or stickers, a printer, scissors, and adhesive. Optional items include stamps, calligraphy pens, and templates for design inspiration.
How can I personalize my bridal invitations?
You can personalize your bridal invitations by incorporating the couple's names, wedding date, and venue details. Adding personal touches such as custom colors, fonts, and unique graphics that reflect the couple's personality or wedding theme can also enhance the invitations.
What design ideas can I use for my bridal invitations?
Design ideas for bridal invitations include floral patterns, rustic themes, elegant typography, or minimalist designs. You can also consider using a photo of the couple, watercolor illustrations, or themed elements that match the wedding's color palette and style.
How do I ensure my invitations are printed correctly?
To ensure your invitations are printed correctly, always do a test print on regular paper first. Check the alignment, colors, and text clarity. Make sure your printer settings are adjusted for the type of paper you are using, and consider using a professional printing service for a polished finish.
What is the best way to assemble and send out my invitations?
The best way to assemble your invitations is to lay out all components (invitation, RSVP card, and any additional inserts) neatly. Use adhesive to secure them if necessary. Once assembled, place them in envelopes and seal them. Make sure to address and stamp each envelope before sending them out, ideally 6-8 weeks before the wedding date.
