I used Vistaprint.com as well and was pleasantly surprised at what you get for the price. They are good. :)

Hi, an idea I have is... check out www.costco.com
Go to the photo section and click on 6x7½ photo greeting cards
click on the more tab and there you will find a save the date.
You can order 50 cards for $14.99 and for each extra 25 cards you pay $5.99 This is a great deal.

I hope this help.

I ordered my STDs from Vistaprint and am now realizing that I don't know what to do about mailing them. I am not going to just put the magnet in there by itself. A friend of mine ordered from another site and hers came with a kit to mail them out...help! what to do

we are having a monogram theme so it was easy to buy card stock and just create them myself. I added a band of ribbon around them and stamped the end with a wax stamper "W" to hold the ends together.

I also included them in my Christmas cards to save on pastage!

I recently bought a book from Barnes and noble and they sent me a coupon in my order for 100 free postcards. You just go to https://www.vistaprint.com/nobledeals and all you have to pay is shipping which was $6. So I got my Save the Dates for 0.06 cents each. I didn't need to put in any codes or passwords or anything. Just go to the site and you can design anyhow you want either by uploading your template or using something already there. They're typical postcard advertisements for businesses but you can put in anything you want. I did. They turned out beautifully and since most of them were hand delivered, they didn't cost me much more than postage.

I'm not sure where you are from, but Archivers is a scrapbook store. It is a chain so they have locations everyewhere. They have a very large wedding section for DIY wedding invites, save the dates etc. They also have packages for brides where you can go to the store and get a one on one scrapbook DIY session etc. Check out their website they have alot of great stuff. I am using them for all my invites etc.

I took my favorite photo of the two of us and used Photoshop to make it black and white. Then I added a funky effect to it on photoshop. I uploaded this on Vistaprint and sent out save the dates as a postcard! So much cheaper than regalar mail, as postcard stamps are only $. 28.

I loved it and it was sooo personal!
