The Crushing Weight of Paper

That faint wheezing sound you hear is me, wiggling in a desperate attempt to break free from more wedding invitation websites. Dag blast it all, I don't want to spend half my life's savings picking stupid wedding invites, neither do I want to lock myself in a room for two weeks bleeding all over some DIY project... and mostly, dammit, I'm too f'ing artsy to just order some pre-made something off of someone else's site.


YARRRRRRRRRRR. ;) Wedding invitation hell is upon me, and I'm on a deadline of "asap" to make a decision on what they'll look like.

Do any of you wonderful kids know anything about professional printing on cardstock? Even better, how to do it cheaply or printing light ink on dark paper? I really want to design my own, then have someone else do the messy part.

I'm looking all over to find out as much as I can about printing, print shops in Atlanta (do these people just not think it important to be listed in the yellowpages or have websites??), places to order cardstock and have it cut, and even about screen printing.

Full bleed print. Light on dark. My head is spinning in circles.

Also, for no good reason whatsoever ('cause let's face it, it's ungraciously expensive to buy supplies for) - I really want a yudu.

Will someone please take the internet away from me now? I think my brain is broken.
