save the date dollars and cents

for those of you that liked my save the dates, heres the breakdown in cost of them...

200 printed magnets from vistaprint: $39.99 + $17.81 priority shipping = $57.80

150 A2 sized cards from papersource in mars red: $11.28 + $7.00 shipping = $18.28

120 glue dots from office depot: $4.58 + tax

200 A2 sized envelopes in ivory from office depot: $ 20.98 + tax

300 clear labels from office depot: $ 14.08

grand total: $117.86

what i didn't factor into the budget above is the cost of postage but depending on how many you have to mail out of this country, that number would obviously fluctuate...we also hand delivered a few so yea...in hindsight i could've save a little bit more if i figured out how many i had to make beforehand, but i was working with estimates since i didn't finalize my guestlist yet... i had to guess on how much i needed of everything.

but what obviously cost the most is the time and effort i had to put into all of these guys...the labor effort is PRICELESS!
