I feel like this is one of those times where it's just easier to buy them premade.
I haven’t gotten the postage yet, but this is how I’m mailing them:
envelopes
Wrapping in this twine
Stamping this stamp under where USPS stamps go
Using this return envelope stamp
Using clear printed labels for recipients
Here's some on Amazon! Here are some in a more letter-friendly size, and here are some sparkly ones. Additionally, I suggest putting some gold glitter on and/or inside the envelope... for that extra wow factor ;)
Edit: Found some extremely gaudy gold foil envelopes too, though they're pricier.
I just got these in today and I am SO excited about how they turned out! I was able to make the entire suite for 80 invitations right under $100. The picture doesn't do the pearl finish justice... it's a beautiful subtle sparkle!
Originally, I'd had to swallow that these would inevitably cost over $350 because we needed an English and Spanish set, which is not friendly to quantity based ordering. I also wanted shimmer pearl cardstock, which requires a laser printer. Not to mention, all of the paper cutting and pricing just printing these at FedEx was like $80. Then... I found inspiration on Etsy, and found out that my job's copy center offers printing just for the cost of ink, which is like 10 center per page for color!
Moral of the story.... Check and see if work offers high quality printing for just their cost of goods :)
Details:
The envelopes would've been less had I chosen to not go peel and press... I just wanted that little luxury!
I'm also using a personal printer and a Microsoft Word template to print the addressing on my invites. I couldn't find a site to do 80 for under $100 :( But, on the bright side, it really wasn't that bad to DIY it once I figured out Word's intricacies.
We're also not sending RSVP cards (requesting the RSVP online) in the spirit of being both cost effective and environmentally friendly. I am sending recipe cards that I hope that guests bring to the reception for our guestbook! I'll also be printing extras of those, which might require another paper buy. I need to see what all I have left.
Like you I found the plano for monsters was a hassle. I went with 6 X 6 Square Envelopes worked great to hold monster card, monster standee, and monster modifier cards. Write the name of the monster on the top of the envelope and alphabetize them in a box. Makes setup so much faster.
People helping others even when they're down makes me happy. No joke. I like seeing people, even when they're not in the best mood, not try and bring others around them down.
Also, I don't think you're cheap. $15 seems to be above the average gifting amount I've seen around RAOA. You are great! Thank you.

I think these are the size you're looking for.
EDIT: These are also at a really good price, for right now at least.
200 or above. Anything less isn't worth it.
For envelopes you can get these here at amazon. Pretty good price. If you need bubble mailers I usually buy them off ebay just search #000 bubble mailers.
Don't forget there is a Puca Subreddit.
Hope this helps.
Looks like the invitations themselves went up in price, but this is what I got:

For the info insert, I used printable postcards I snagged at the thrift store. Good luck!
New pens for school! My husband and I go through so many of these puppies that we can never have too many! It's the weekend but I feel like the week has just started. Eeesh!
Sorry, didn’t see your follow up question! 5x7” for the final card size. I ordered shimmery envelopes from amazon: A-7 Envelope - Lavender Shimmery Metallic Envelope (5.25 x 7.25) - 50 Envelopes from Paper and More (Lavender) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5OHPST?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I only ship with A1 Envelopes sized 3 5/8" x 5 1/8"
They're the perfect size for Top-Loaders and never get crunched in the postal sorting machines (as larger envelopes sometimes do). Additionally, they're lightweight and can fit 9 cards + 2 top-loaders before you need to add additional postage in excess of the 1oz forever stamp limit.

A German DIN "B6 envelope" will work, too, in that case. You can find those on Amazon and other online stores. :)
Some examples:
Thank you! Envelopes are from Amazon.

In the Amazon related products it shows a size 10, 100% cotton envelope by them, ivory colored. I think I might pick that up as the size is much more manageable
