VistaPrint ~ Custom Invitations for Regular People

After scouring the internet all weekend looking at party invitations for our son’s upcoming 5th birthday I was overwhelmed. Even more so, I was shocked by the prices some companies were asking for a mere thirty pieces of paper.

I’m sure the quality was good and the designs were very attractive but spending $100 for invitations to a five year old’s party? I don’t think so.

Then I found VistaPrint, an online printing business, where you can choose from their designs for invitations (and personalize them) or upload your own design to have printed.

Genius idea! My husband has the graphic design ability so I gave him the specifications they provide and a few links to invitations I found that I would have purchased had they been under $30. Within hours he had created an invitation and I was uploading it.

While the price depends upon what you choose, our order was beyond reasonable. They offer an entire line of products that might interest you - business cards, letterhead, stationary, labels, marketing materials and more.

When my order arrived it was perfect and exactly what I expected. You must give them up to 14 days for standard shipping. We also received several coupons for free products that I intend to return and use on stationary.

This option allowed me my husband to create a unique invitation and we saved big money. I definitely bookmarked Vistaprint for future use.

Editors note: VistaPrint also offers free business cards. Choose from over 40 different designs and personalize them with your info and you only pay the shipping for 250 free cards. Total bargain!
