YES. I ordered my STD from Vistaprint.com
They were really inexpensive....they were free

If you sign up to receive their emails...they send free offers all the time..and you only pay shipping. I ordered the postcard style.
They looked great when they arrived. Playing around on their site, I created a 2nd style and ended up ordering another set for free as well. I am waiting for those to arrive any day now.
They also have the magnets and other things.

If you like I can send you a copy of mine to see how they turned out

OMG thanks so much, Im on the site now playing around with mine, but I am in love with the price 500 magnets for less than $60 is fantastic.

I know...it can be addictive playing with that site.
Thats why I ended up doing 2 different STD postcards

I created 2 styles...
I needed about 200 of them so I ordered 1 free set and then ordered the next free set a week later. I paid less than $20 for 200 postcards.
I will start mailing them out today...I just need to go grab some clear address labels

That's really inexpensive. Sensationablyhappy, I don't think you will find it any cheaper. It's about the same price if you were to make it yourself because I bought a box of postcards at officemax for $24.99. I wanted to make it myself because I wanted to add a picture of myself and my FH on the cards.

Girl you can do that on this website too as long as you have the pic saved as a jpg file.

Im tellin you I am having too much fun.

I may order 2 different ones instead of 1

Wow, I think I'm going to save my postcards from officemax and order my save-the-date cards from vistaprint. I always order my business cards from them every 3 months ( I go through a lot of them in my business). It never occured to me to really investigate what else they can do.

Thanks for the heads up!!!

These are the ones I made

I sure did, it was beyond easy. If you know how to use microsoft word, its a piece of cake.

I got magnets, but you can get just cards if thats what you want, calendars, heck mugs even, they offer all those options. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, you don't need microsoft word to make them, its just that the commands and such are similar. You do all the adjusting, etc. on the website itself.

Wow Ivyprincess, your STD cards are beautiful

ok..ive been trying to figure out how to attach my std's and photos
to this note ...anyone have a clue LOL

Etiquette question,

who's name should go first, I was reading the announcement to my mom and she said his name is supposed to go first.

Wow, thanks fro sharing. I love them both

Ivyprincess ~ this question is very much down my professional alley ~ Always, always, always, the name of the bride goes first.

fantastic

Try postcards.

I've decided to go ahead with the ones I've designed as well. Although the choices that you ladies have chosen on the site is so fabu.

Ok, can someone please walk me to the steps of posting this. I've just finish with my STD cards. How do I post them in order to get ya'll opinions?

[quote="Teresa1167"]Thanks I found it!!!!

I like the postcard idea.But i don't like the templates they have for weddings. I guess it will try to design my own.I am not the crafty or computer savy type at all.But I will give it a try !!! Thanks !!!
I will holla back if i need hlp!

Also when should u mail these out my wedding date is 6/7/2008?

Thats why I created my own. They have some cute stuff but you can probably create your own. I looked at other sites to see what they offered and from there I created both of mine

[quote="sensationablyhappy"]All of you ladies STDs look great... im not having as much luck with mine though... I want mine to be magnets but I dont really see anything that catches my eye with the designs... or am I being too picky.
[/quote]

No..youre not being picky. I didnt see a lot either. You can create your own STD on another program and then upload it to Vistaprint which is what I did.
You can look around on other sites to find one that you like and basically build from that.

[quote="sensationablyhappy"]Thanks 2bmrspotts.. but when you say create from another program what do you mean?
[/quote]

I used Adobe Photoshop Album starter to create one of mine.
The other one I just created uploading my photo to vistaprint and then using the test tools on their site to add to it.

You could also create something in powerpoint and just upload it
Do you have an idea of what you want it to look like?

I just got an email from Vistaprint.com and they have a whole lot of stuff that is free for the next 24 hours including, business cards (you can use the for STDs, photo calendars and return labels) if you need the email or anything msg me your email address and I'll forward it to you
