DIY invitations: what to do next?

Now that we’ve actually finalised the guest list (in brief – too many guests with children to invite them all; solution – explain, and don’t invite any) I’ve been spending a bit of time on the invitations.


I wasn’t sure, after the Save the Dates, I was going to make them myself or not - but there were certain elements from the STDs that I wanted to keep , and I was starting to have some pretty distinct design ideas in my head for how I wanted the invites to work.
So I’ve come to the conclusion that I am going to design them myself. But it’s printing that’s the condundrum.
The design features a tree, and has only a few colours. So I could buy a colour printer and print and fold them myself. Or I could try linocutting the tree and printing by hand before laser printing the lettering.
Or I could try and find a firm that is prepared to print the design for me.
Any suggestions?
