Honestly, check office supply and craft stores. loads of people are doing diy invites lately, so more and more places are carrying more and more varieties of them. for example, my fiance and i have a very specific pattern we are using on our wedding stuff, and yesterday we found it on a generic box of invites in a craft store. its great how easy some of this stuff is to find. also, check out offbeatbride.com. there are LOADS of diy sites listed in the adds on there, and offbeatbride approves all the adds, so if they are on there it is because someone used them and had a good experience. my favorite of the ones i have seen is Twisted Limb, they do lovely handmade papers. along with the adds like that, they usually have a diy idea at least once a week so you can learn how to make something.

Very nice of you to do this for your friend. I have seen blank invitations in office supply stores. They are very expensive without anything written on them. But, they do have decoration. If you are crafty as well as computer savvy let me suggest going a different route. Plain stationery, good grade, 24 lb, perhaps even in a color. Print the information on these sheets. Get a box of velum at the office supply store. Velum is a thin see through heavy plastic like material that comes in colors that can also be printed on but don't. Cut the velum the size of the invitation, put two holes at the top of the velum and the invitation and tie with a thin ribbon. The invitation wording will show through the velum, the ribbon can be the color of the wedding. Buy matching sized envelopes (same place). You might want to find out what size envelopes are available and make the invitations to match. Try searching on line for "making wedding invitations ".
