Depends on how much you want to spend.  Mine were a cutomized jpeg file from etsy.  Then they were printed at Kinko's.  I think 2 5x7 invites were printed on one page (card stock - color ink) and then cut in half, so it cost less than printing each page seperately.  I think it ran like $10-12 for the etsy file and maybe $50 for kinkos for 60-some invites.  Something like that - I remember discussing with my mom when she was pricing printing options.  Kinkos was the cheapest.

I designed mine on shutterfly, and then used the snipping tool on my computer to copy the image and pasted it into microsoft publisher. Printed 60 invited at office depot for $20. 4x6 invites on cardstock in color. They would have been $120 on shutterfly.

I love Baby Cachet - are you looking for a specific theme? They have many to choose from. You can buy DIY cards if you're looking to save. I love their stylish ones that come with matching party supplies. Hope that helps.

 So you're the same Amy Williams from this article, the owner of tickled pink invites? Spammer!!!  http://ezinearticles.com/?Baby-Shower-Invitations---Why-Settle-For-the-Same-Plain-Old-Invitations-Locally&id=2990116

 My sister had ordered from you and had the worst time, customer service was horrible and the cards came out low quality with really bad ink printing, it was like a copy of a copy. Buyer beware, stay away from this site!

I second vistaprint for fairly cheap invites.  You can even get one custom designed on etsy then print it through vistaprint for pretty cheap.  Not an invitation, but my shower thank you cards were custom on etsy (part of the party package my sister bought for the shower) and I think by looking through the different options I got 100 cards for about $20.

I've done baby shower invites on Shutterfly and had good luck.  I thought they were pretty reasonably priced as wlel.

Shutterfly has cheap invitations and are also easy to deal with if you need to send them back for whatever reason.

 I used this site for bridal shower invites and they were adorable. The service was fine (I ordered, they arrived as promised) and they were fairly good quality. No complaints for sure.

My mom (with my help becuase shes not into "technology") purchased a custom file from etsy ($16) and uploaded to shutterfly. Since she was a first time user we got 50 prints for free (4x6) and only had to pay S&H, plus stamps and envelopes. I think in total she spent about $55-60.

I like Shutterfly too. My sister and I both used them when planning each others showers. We both had an easy time of it, and we're happy with the results and the price tag. Here's a link to Shutterfly's baby shower invitations, if you're interested.

I'm a graphic artist so I designed my own and I believe my host will be printing them at Staples!

With that said, there are many people who sell their designs on Etsy and it's a PDF file which they'll edit for you and you may chose to print where ever you like!

I'm sure it's cheaper than going to a website like Tinyprint.com or something.

My bff is getting them for me from Impressive Invitations (http://www.impressiveinvitations.com.au),she's already told me cos she asked me if she liked the design :) However, if you want to save a little, you could DIY your baby shower invitations :)
