You probably should think about cropping your images to a more
traditional ratio.
But, Amazon has 16x20 mats pre-cut for 12x18 prints.

16x20 frames:

That makes the cost of frame & mat about $39.00 + the cost of the print
5x7 mats for 4x6 prints

5x7 frames

Approximate cost for Mat & frame about $2.25
Price your 16x20s at $250 and the 5x7s at $25.

One problem with not being an artist is that I don't know squat about
displaying and selling my photos. I tend to carry them around in an
itoya portfolio book updating the selection as I go. I was talking with
some friends who have a shop in town that sells art and ukuleles about
them trying to sell some of my photos. I've also thought that at some
point I should put together some pieces to show.
Pat and Julie told me that you can't just sell prints, they need to be
mounted well enough that people can just hang them on the wall.
Can people give me pointers to cost effective ways of going about this?
I tried stopping by the local art store, but most of my prints are
12x18 or 4x6 and they simply don't have much that work with those form
factors.
