Vistaprint with photos

Monica, on October 8, 2018 at 09:44 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 36
Hey lovelies!

I’ve searched the community and there are a few conversations re: Vistaprint. But if any one has pictures of their invites/save the dates/RSVP cards, and don’t mind sharing, I’d really appreciate it! (Especially those with pictures, as we would like to use our engagement photos).

I want to use Vistaprint but afraid of the quality. I’ve read for the most part, people are satisfied with their decision of going with Vistaprint, but if anyone can share their tips/tricks and recommendations on paper quality etc., that’d be great Smiley smile

Thanks!

    They do look amazing! I know what you mean about the fast shipping too. I took the longest shipping option and they got here in like 3 days!

    Hi guys! Our invites came - OMG so fast.. literally 2-3 days since I ordered - I didn’t even pay or ask for express shipping and their customer service was nice enough to provide me it when I inquired about making a minor change on our invite.

    I can breathe a sign of relief now! Smiley laugh

    Quality is great! Standard matte is perfectly fine and the photo quality came out great! No blurs or discolouration - so happy with it. I’m definitely going to be ordering more from Vistaprint - our cupcake tower sign, our bar sign... possibly our welcome sign! Yay!

    You’re going to love them no matter what! And he’s probably right, I kind of had buyers remorse once I got the STDs and the stamps and realized how darn expensive it was getting lol! What kind of paper did you go with? Can’t wait to see yours!

    High quality picture and not cell phone. You do want to download from a digital camera if that had a higher pixel and sharp image.

    HI there
    they were on the standard matte. and the picture came from a cell phone. if you had a higher quality photo I could see it being even better.

    Invites were ordered from vistaprint and quality came out excellent. I have had others love them.

    I did order photo albums for myself as others ordered them after too. Picture quality is great.

    This was a picture my friend took when she got my invites.
    They turned out great! I used their custom design service to completely customize each piece and it was well worth it. Highly recommend them. We also did our save the dates with them and will order our programs from them as well.

    I ordered my invitations from Vista Print and was quite happy with them. I used their personal design service which was really valuable and a super cost effective way to have completely custom invitations. I'd suggest ordering their free wedding invitations kit online so you can get a sense for what the different papers and finishes are like, it really helped me with my decisions.

    I recommend pre designing everything and saving it as a project. Then when the next sale hits, you just have to order them

    Anxiously waiting for our invites to be delivered! Still contemplating whether I should’ve upgraded the paper quality but FH said no - people will just look at our invites and throw it aside!! Decisions decisions!

    Hey Jennifer, thanks for sharing!

    Looks great! Was this printed in the standard matte paper? I’m so nervous that our picture will turn out to be poor quality...

    Looks amazing Brittany!

    May I ask - what quality paper did you go with? Did you upgrade to a more premium paper stock or went with the standard matte?

    I forgot to order my address labels - but figured I might not need it since most will be hand delivered or passed along from family members. I’ve indicated for guests to RSVP by calling or visiting our website.. I’ll probably decide later on to see if I’ll need them - they’re sitting in “My Projects,” on Vista, lol!

    I went ahead and ordered our invites and yes, Casey! You’re so correct. Their customer service is SO good. I literally made 3 changes to something I had already ordered.. but their customer service helped me cancel multiple orders and order the edited invites! I’m so thankful.

    I don't have any pictures, but I ordered our Save the Dates from Vista Print and was totally blown away by the level of quality. We ordered ours in the "Pearl Shimmer" paper with rounded edges, and it looks and feels very nice.

    We ordered these two days ago. They’ve already shipped out (I’m shocked because we ordered them the Saturday before Thanksgiving) they’re due to arrive by the 22nd so I’ll let you know how they turn out! But I’ve seen a few printed through vistaprint and they’ve all been really nice!

    we did a sort of save the date. my FMIL lives in Oklahoma and is hosting an e-party/shower type thing when we go there. and she wanted to give her friends a heads up. so we used vistaprint. they were mailed right to her. and she says they look great! (I just took screenshots) haha

    I ordered our invitations/details cards from Vistaprint, as well as matching return label addresses (TOTAL LIFE SAVER, don't forget to get them). I also ordered 3 mini flip books when we got our engagement photos (one for us, and one for each of our moms). I also ordered business cards in a similar style to our invites which have been edited into very luxe looking drink vouchers (we aren't having an open bar).

    The quality has been fantastic on everything. You will not get a better deal for the quality anywhere else.

    I have not ordered mine from Vista yet but will for sure be using them for all our invites. I use them for work a lot and the quality is great. Even if something is messed up on it, they have great customer service that will work through it with you on the phone to make sure it comes out the way you want it!

    We've done all our paper stuff through Vistaprint. We're VERY happy with the quality and speed of what we got. Their systems are very easy to use and play around with to customize what you order.

    For invitations, we actually just used Postcards (cost about 1/3 - 1/2 of what 'wedding invitations' did on their site). For the inserts, we used business cards. For the posters, I ordered just the paper and then used modge podge to attach them to a foam board I got at the dollar store - was about 1/6 the cost of ordering them from Vistaprint on foam board.

    I did a few Save the Dates for my immediate family on Vistaprint as a little surprise to give them at our engagement party. I don't plan on printing them for all my guests so I wasn't overly fussy on what the end result would be. I chose the standard paper and it's alright, nothing special but fine for what I needed. If I was printing them to actually send to all my guest I probably would have gone with the more premium paper. I designed mine myself - found a template but ended up completely modifying it because I liked the layout but not the wording or font they used lol. If you want photos send me a PM Smiley smile

    We had an artist friend draw one. But I saw a good tutorial somewhere online that basically suggested tracing a mapquest map.

    Thanks for your input! Question - how did you make the maps on Vista? I’ve been trying to print out a map to our venue, but can’t seem to figure out a good way of doing so on Vista.

    Did you just print screen a shot of your map, crop it and added it to Vista?

    I’ve been having trouble sharing photos on here but we used vistaprint to print our magnet save the dates, maps, RSVP cards and the insider portion of our invites (ours were jacketed) and our return address labels. All were a big success.

    I should add with ours I sent it to our graphic designer so it was a high resolution photo! With the Matte resolution they are bright but I wouldn’t say they are shining. If you want them to be shining I would probably choose a different option.

    I’ve ordered Christmas cards from Vista print and I’ve been really happy with the quality of paper, the variety of designs and the clarity of the image. I’m planning to order from them for the wedding invites for sure!
