Show me your invitations that you had printed from an online printer!

Posted in Do It Yourself 39

So I'm now debating if I really want to use vistaprint to print my invitations. I have the design but I've heard so-so things about their quality. Can anyone share pictures of invitations they've had printed from vistaprint or any other online printer like uprinting, mpix, shutterfly etc? Please...

    I used a 50% off coupon for wedding paper divas, it's silver thermography on ecru premium paper.

    I used wedding paper divas and they were great! I would use them again in a heart beat!

    These are our invitations from Wedding Paper Divas, I upgraded to the Pearl paper which cost 25cents per invitation more and upgraded the envelopes (exterior envelope and interior) to a pearl color again. The invitations came in the mail within 5 business days. And they honestly look amazing, the paper is thick, amazing picture quality and they acommodated all the small changes I wanted to make to the writing. Wedding Paper Divas prints through Shutterfly

    I used Minted and I absolutely LOVE my invites. However, I spelled daughter incorrectly and now I'm stuck with it because they cost me $500. That's life I guess! I should had another pair of eyes review it. And I'm not a horrible speller! I'm learning to meditate and let things go, so I'm just hoping that no one dies because of it!

    I used Zazzle to print all my stuff. They had the heaviest card stock I could find, My friend who is a graphic designer designed all of the pieces then uploaded it to their site. They didn't take long at all! I got the other stuff (patterned cardstock, bellybands, envelopes and pocketfolds) at other places.

    I second CatPrint! They were awesome! I'm looking for a picture of my invites now, but the quality and customer service were great.

    Just placed my order for invitations and Save The Dates with minted.com. There were some parts of saving and updating the order information that were a huge pain, but I can't wait to see them!

    I think you should order samples from wherever you are considering. Even order the minimum 10 from Vistaprint is the design you like. Feeling and seeing in person definitely helped me decide between minted, wedding paper divas and vistaprint. Here's a sample from minted on 120 lb paper.

    I got our STDs from vista print and upgraded to the heavier paper. I don't have a pic on my phone anymore but I really loved the quality! On another note, I was having trouble arranging everything and their customer service was fantastic at helping me size it all

    We used Zazzle for our invites. My only complaint, the envelopes took a fair amount of time and no one could give me an ETA. I purchased the invites when they had a 50% off code, I love bargains!

    I have noticed some vistaprint invites that I've received have had the color "rub off". It's usually the really deep dark colored ones though. If I still had them I'd snap a pic to show you. I think they're still really nice and a great value, but if you're super picky I'd go with another vendor.

    These are our invitations from Vistaprint. We paid about $12 to upgrade to their matte cardstock. they are not in yet so i can't speak to their quality, but my MOH used the same paper for her SIL's shower invites and said they were very good quality....and the price is definitely right!

    Thanks again everyone! I ended up going with a local printer because I couldn't wait for paper samples and needed to see a hard copy proof. I am soooo happy with the quality and I was able to pick some really heavy cotton paper!! I think I got a great deal 50 invites with RSVP and insert for $120.

    @courtneyC - I initially put the wrong date on my invite!!! Needless to say I had to have it redone, but the guys that owned the shop were super nice and did it for free.

    I designed my invites myself and I'm super proud!

    S&P - likewise I wasn't planning on a bellyband, but I think I saw something like it on pinterest and made it last minute! This is what the invite looks like since you can't see it in the first picture.

    I had ours printed from shutterfly. They are great. I really couldn't care less about the invites, but the quality is great. I just made the ribbon belly band/tag myself
