What are your experiences?

Yep, it's the hidden truth of wedding DIY: you think it's going to save you money, and then you can end up spending more to make your invitations than you would have if you'd just gone and bought some simple pre-designed ones. (And don't even get us started on the whole “duplicate it yourself” thing… or the realities of DIY burnout!)
