Vistaprint is an online printing website that began in 1995 when the internet was still a baby. They are known for on demand printing and have hundreds of products available, from promotional materials to (you guessed it) invitations. They only provide customization options that people actually need, taking the complication of printing.
Even though their products are stock designs, if you are particular (like I was) then you customize the arrangement and amount of text, the font, and the colors. You can also choose from different backing options or upload your own image to use. You can also add images to the invite, either your own or from their stock, but I don't recommend it unless you choose a design that is set up to add images. Vistaprint gets a little picky when you add your own images without a pre-done image layout.
TIP: Make sure when you start moving text around and adding images that you are doing it right. It can be very easy to misalign text boxes or add images that will come out grainy or pixelated. Spend a lot of time and care arranging your invite layout and quadruple check your design before submitting to the printers.
Not only can you get your invitations through Vistaprint, but any and all wedding stationary you need. Within each design family, there are multiple stationary options so all of your papers will match. Vistaprint offers:
- Invitations
- Save-the-Dates
- RSVP cards
- Direction cards
- Thank you cards
- Bridal shower invitations
- Engagement party invitations
- Reception place cards
- And more
Each card has a front and back option, along with numerous other choices. You can get a sheet card or folded card. You can upgrade to a higher stock paper. You can even choose printing options to make your design basic matte or premium glossy. If you don't like any of the predone designs and you are super crafty or graphically talented, you can upload your own design to print.
The best reason to choose Vistaprint (right behind their hundreds of beautiful design options) is the price. If you were to go to Vistaprint and order your stationary right now, it can cost as little as $15 per 10 invitations. This is much cheaper than other invitation retail sites. But it gets better.
Vistaprint is constantly offering deals on Groupon to all areas across the US. Their deals usually consist of something like, "Spend $10 on this Groupon and get $50 worth of products." You can also visit the wonderful Retail-Me-Not to find excellent coupons for free shipping and other discounts on your orders.
If you are looking for more wedding planning advice, along with a way to keep track of how many invitations you need to order, consider checking out my eBook on Amazon called, "How to Create the Ultimate Wedding Planning Binder - And Other Helpful Wedding Planning Tips."
P.S. This is NOT a sponsored post (I wish!). I just really love Vistaprint and think their products are perfect for most couples.
