Vistaprint paper options--UPDATE with invite

I did my save the dates (magnets) and will do the invitations (linen) and other cards on VP. For engagement party invites, I would suggest the basic card stock they have, that way when you do the actual invites, you have something to build up to. I think the only way to get a picture of the invites on here is to do a screen print (edit in paint) and save it as a jpeg so you can upload it on here.

Ahh ok thanks, i was thinking linen as it looks a little richer, the wedding invites i'm not sure what we are doing yet as we have time. i will try to post on here

They upgraded their regular matte, so it's a decent thickness for inconsequential things like programs. For invites, I'd say at least the recycled matte, it's thicker/heavier, or perhaps the linen. You can actually get a free sample of their paper stocks if you have time. www.vistaprint.com/wedding-sample-kit.aspx --> include matte, recycled matte, linen and another finish, I think.

To save the picture, go to the preview from your portfolio, and you should be able to right click and save -- that's how I did mine, though paint is helpful to black out any personal info.

Thanks reenski i just requested it, i included the invite...its my 1st attempt at a DIY so any critiques are greatly appreciated

I like it. Was that a template they already had?

We used linen and it was really nice.

One question though, are those the real dates?

Yes, i just changed the wording up a bit....i was thinking something more crazy since we are having it a club/lounge but i liked the simplicity of this, only problem is i wish i could change the color of the hearts

You can build your own -- those are the same size as the rack cards, which you can get 50 of for just shipping and any paper upgrades. Use the VP image library and look for hearts to see if any of what they have looks better to you.

Yes mrs. s thanks for pointing out, i prob should have hid those!

NP :-) But on that note, do you need RSVPs back so early? It's almost a month before your wedding, so I'm wondering if you will get an accurate count.

Its the engagement party, the place suggested that only because it is around the holidays and people get busy, they suggested either mid december or first week jan which is cutting it close since i need a head count 10 days before the event

Well, if I were able to read, life would be SO much better lol!

Makes sense :-)

Silly Mrs. S, Trix are for kids.

Hee hee hee :-)
