Cheap invitations need to be ordered in bulk to make the prices really low enough to be noticable. If you're ordering 200 or more invitations, you will end up saving a lot of money that way.

Do US collection agencies have any power in Canada?

No. Actually, they don't have much power in the US, either. Far less than they pretend. Not true. I am president of a commercial collection agency in the USA and represent many US and Canadian companies where the debtor is a Canadian Co. While its true that a collection agency has no real teeth in enforcement, the threat of legal action often motivates people into the check book or face a hand off to a partner law firm. I recently had an Italian client who was owed money by a Canadian company and they refused to pay until I referred the matter to a local barrister and suit was filed. Canadian laws have stronger enforcement provisions then the USA laws. The Canadian company is now paying the balance on installments. The power in any collection agency is their willingness to litigate if the debtor refuses to cooperate. If the debtor wants to play poker, then the agency needs to be able to call their bluff. And yes I sue on $3000 accounts where I think the debtor has the ability, if not the willingness to pay.
