To spend, or not to spend?

Last week I asked a graphic-designer friend to quote his charges to customize my wedding invites. The numbers came in last night and after comparing to the absurd quote provided by a watercolor artist lady I approached much earlier, I was dead sure I'd go with him. His package included:

1. Design (Visual to FA)
2. Main card
size: 210 x 148 mm
color: 4c x 4c
finishing: matt lamination both side
paper: 360 gm matt
quantity: 250 pcs
3. Envelopes x 250pcs

Total: RM1,040

That comes up to RM4.16 per card which is I THOUGHT was very reasonable until....

I go and gatal tangan browse for kad kahwin printers and omg I found a lot of nice ones for a fraction of the price!  Here are the few that I really liked. The price stated is for 300pcs and obviously the more you order, the cheaper they get.

Mom wouldn't approve but I find the tribal theme quite refreshing. 

Why do I do this to myself?
