Storybook wedding invite: Can you make it for me?

I saw online a place that sells these invitations that are fairytale themed. Its in the format of a story book and goes through your story together, then info about the wedding. It's from the US and while they ship to Aus it works out $30 each.. I love the idea and haven't seen it anywhere else.

How much do extra tiers cost?

Say I have a 3 tier cake but it's still quite big. Do cake makers quote on number of tiers? Or the overall size/weight of the cake. How is it fair for a 5 tier cake (that is small and skinny) to be more expensive than a 2 tier massive cake?

What's an alternative to wedding cake?

I've never been a fan of cake, but will people be disappointed if I don't do a cake cutting part of the reception? What are the alternatives or am I best to stick with tradition?

how much would the value of my dress go down once ive worn it?

if I want to sell it afterwards, how much do you think I will get back for it? Half? A quarter? I'm not sure at all, and was wondering if I can get a more expensive dress and then sell it rather then buy a cheaper wedding dress.
