I ordered all the paper I would need for my invitation project and some for the other random paper projects I have and now I'm just waiting anxiously for it to all arrive so I can begin. Here's a breakdown on what I got:
Envelopes
ordered from envelopemall.com
$13.75 - A-7 Mohawk Super Fine 100 pack, white
$11.95 - A-1/4 Bar Stardream Metallic 100 pack, bronze
$12.12 - S&H, cheapest option
Total = $37.82
Paper
ordered from anchorpaper.com
Tom Peterson is awesome!
$27.64 - Astrobright Glisten Lunar Blue, 7" x 16-1/8", 86# cover, appx 70+ sheets
$20.25 - Nekoosa Linen Carrara White, 8.5" x 11", 80# cover, 250 sheets
$25.50 - Stardreams Bronze, 12" x 12", 105# cover, 50 sheets
$16.14 - S&H
Total = $86.18
So that's just the paper and doesn't include glue, ink, embossing powder, stamps, ribbon and such which I'll get around to analyzing later. I'm not sure what type of sticky item I'll be using to "fuse" these puppies together. I've heard great things about terrifically tacky tape, but since I've never used it I might just go and use tacky glue and a paint brush instead. Other than that, all there's left to do is proof and reproof the wording and layout until the paper gets here... then the real fun and chaos begins

This sounds like an exciting project! I hope you'll show pictures when you are done. Don't forget you can order paper and envelopes direct from the paper mill at mohawkpaperstore.com.
