I bought them from a shopping centre, and they're not there now, but I looked on eBay recently and they have loads on there. Not quite as cheaply as mine (!), but generally pretty well priced. And they do look beautiful when tied all prettily!
Here's a link to some I just found!

Something that I have found which I intend to use is a website calle Ballistic Blue, you can do the invites/order of service etc through them at approximately a pound a piece, and you can use an automated mailing list so that they are all personalised and come with pre written envelopes.
http://www.ballisticblue.com
The other place is Vista Print who are really good, we got our save the day fridge magents through them. Perfect!

Thanks Hayley, I may be using that
Hi Rachel  That website looks great, but i've already started doing my own stationery. I've used vistaprint for my save the date magnets. They are great

Vistaprint is fantastic! I discovered it after we'd already sent out our Save the Date cards, and I was going to use it for our invitation reply cards, but I use it for all my school stuff, like reward cards for the children, etc. I wish I'd discovered it earlier! Brilliant!

wow, you guys really know how to budget!
luckily my grand parents have given us some money. we are still on a v tight budget though, 500 over in fact. we decided, if the venue will let us we are gonna have to cut the evening buffet. i mean we arnt sitting down to eat till 4.15 anyway and we will have cake in the evening. i hope its gonna be ok though!
although i still dont have enough for well, everything i need! all i have is the dress so far! luckily have just got a part time xmas job though.
we are having fake flowers, except my boquet, my dads fiance is gonna help with them as she made her own centre pieces, boquets, at her prev wedding. my bmaids brought their own dresses. only 80 in debenhams. they also have 25% off everything at the minute. my friend is taking our photos for 50.
sorry just realised how long this is!!!

We went to a wedding where we didn't start eating the wedding breakfast till 4pm and at the evening reception the food hardly got touched. You could maybe just have snack bowls on each table, like crisps, nuts etc. 
You have to be budget concious. Ours is really tight, and we are still struggling.

Ours is really tight, and we are still struggling. we are only allowed to use the caterer that comes with the reception. and they charge ?12 a head for a simple evening buffet! if we have at least 60 people is gonna cost a lot! imagine how much they would charge for crisps and nuts! good idea though! must be harder for you with all your kids?!

Thats a shame that, i'm sure you'll come up with something. They may let you have a smaller buffet for less.
We are lucky as we got a really good deal on our wedding. It cost 1000 for 25 people to a sit down meal with welcome drink, glass of wine and toast drink. 50 to the evening reception. Ceremony room. The good thing is we can add on aswell and at only 10 per head for the evening it isn't too bad, plus they only cater for 70% which means the 100 we are inviting we only after pay for the extra 20 (hope this makes sense )
