Default die cut advice

I need to make 125 wedding invitations and the bride, my DD, wants a monogram type of belly band around the invite. I made the mistake of die cutting the initials and she fell in love with it. Now my question to all of you.....what do you recommend using to die cut all of them. I only own a cuddlebug and really can't see running the dies through 375 times! Would the Cricut cut multiples of an initial on one page? Is there a company that would custom cut small .5-.75 inch initials?
Looking for help here,
thanks

What die are you using? I have used Sizzix and CB dies with up to 5 sheets of cardstock and made the cuts OK...Also, if you are using more than one dies, depending on the size, you can place several on the plate for each pass...

Yes the Cricut would cut them , maybe about 50 on the small Cricut, at one time. I am doing that from my daughters invites and favors. I will be using the Cricut and then embossing them--yipes!

I haven't settled on the font style. My sample was just a random alpha set. I'll need K & C. My final font choice will be decided by the &. Some are just too large or too funky. I had a feeling the cricut would do the trick, now I can justify the purchase. I only showed my DD cut initials on brushed silver cs, if I had embossed I was afraid she would want that! Good luck to you 53, be sure to post your finished designs.
