I wanted to design my own programs and invitations. I used photoshop and adobe illustrator to make both. I bought an DIY invitation pack off of ebay, and brought them in to minuteman with jpegs/pdfs of my designs. Mintueman did a BEAUTIFUL job! The laser-print so the ink looks sharp, and the colors and detail were excellent! The Customer service is beyond excellent, thanks to Miss Christy, the front office lady. She is so sweet, and gives incredibly accurate quotes. Minuteman also provides card stock, or can order invitation paper for you. They are priced VERY reasonably. Their work is exceptional!
I decided just to see how much it would cost to have Minuteman print them because I didn't trust the longevity of my printer cartridges, the quality of my old printer, and ink cartridges can be incredibly expensive. I'm so glad I asked them!!
I provided the paper and design. To have 100 invitations and RSVP cards, and 100 tri-fold 2-sided programs printed, all designed by myself and very colorful, it only cost $120 dollars! When you take into account the how much I was able to procure the DIY kits for both the invites and the programs (from the wonderful world of ebay), the total cost for my invites AND programs was $190!!! Soooo much cheaper than only invites cost from most any online vendor.
