The problem with bottom feeding is that there is always someone else who will do it for less. You will find some couples who have their brother do it for free, even though it will look like crap (to everyone except the creator and his sister). Rather than lose your cachet as a quality shop, learn to sell a bit. Others here have given you the spiel: "Yeah, you can get it done cheaper, but I don't see you buying your dress at Walmart. Cheap invitations will fade away in a year or so ... mine will still be perfect when your 25th Anniversary party comes up." Hey, that last bit might be a value-added sale. Tell the person that it is relatively cheap to add an extra 100 to printed invitations. Sell that as something for them to put away and use when their anniversary parties come up in the future (every bride assumes that her marriage will last forever, in spite of the odds).
