Notes: things to keep in mind while looking at invitations:
* Unless specified in the description, assume that graphics and text will not be printed with raised ink.
* Invitations with light colored graphics and text/wording are actually invitations made with white card stock that have the background color printed on.
* Square envelopes cost more to mail out than rectangular envelopes (US postal service regulations).
* If you want RSVP postcards instead of RSVP cards with envelopes, you are definitely looking at white RSVP cards with a glossy finish on one side. You may want to go with invitation cards that match your postcard, to insure a nicely matching invitation set, which means skipping colored card stock options.
