Post card Save the Dates?

I did post cards. I designed them in Publisher.

I don't recommend post cards unless you put them in an envelope. I did post cards and the pictures got messed up when they went through the mail. It wasn't the end of the world but I was still a little bummed

We went the route of postcards but they weren't picture post cards, which I find cheesy. They weren't terribly expensive, postage was cheaper and WeddingPaperDivas.com was super fast and very easy to work with!

I mailed one to myself before i printed out 90. Mine held up fine. I printed and waterproofed myself

We did postcards through zazzle and they turned out great. None of them got messed up in the mail--some going from NJ to Canada. I'm wondering if it's just the ink/paper type that may get messed up going through the stamping machine.

I'm doing postcards. It will be a copy of an old postcard of our venue. I am not worried about damage and I don't want to spend a lot of money on it.

I had a friend do postcards. It was cute but they were totally ruined in the mail. The pictures were all scratched up. I would put it in an envelope if you do chose to do a postcard.

I did postcards too but I did it through vistaprint. They always have specials going on so I got mine for 60% off. I think I paid a total of $25 for the 100 postcards, envelopes, and shipping fees (most expensive part) but sometimes you can find free shipping coupons online.

We did postcards through Vista Print as well - and I would definitely recommend them! They ship quickly and if you are unsure about your design, you can request that they send you a proof and it's only a couple bucks and you get 10 examples in the mail.

We designed our own and uploaded it right onto the postcard and they turned out great!

I also did post cards from vista print. I got 100 for $9.99, I paid a little extra for better paper stock. They turned out great. Great reviews!

I did postcards too! I'd rather go cheaper on the Save the Date and spend more money on other stuff. I sent them all at once and a few didn't get there- I'm not sure if they stuck together or the post office messed them up but other than that everything was fine. I thought they looked cute. A Save the Date isn't a wedding must have its just something additional so why not do something fun and cheap.

We did post cards - they did get a little banged up in the mail but we were on a tight budget so envelopes were out of the question

Thank you everyone! I feel much better now. I think I am going to stick with the postcard idea. If something does happen to the postcard and the person who received it really wanted to keep it then I will mail them another in an envelope.

I did my save the dates on Postcards.com, and they came out great!! It was a lot cheaper, and they came out great. Highly recommended!

I did postcards from Vistaprint but didn't get an awesome deal like many other ladies (lucky!!) I had no problems with them in the mail. I also asked the post office to hand cancel them instead of run them through the machines. Just a note with postcards - make sure you keep it to the smaller about 4x6 size. I did larger postcards and I had to pay the price of regular postage on them instead of postcard stamp pricing.

A friend of mine had done the post card for her STD and I loved them! I wanted to do them also... but FH was pretty gun ho on doing magnets. There isn't too many things he requested specific for the wedding so I let him win. I say go for the post cards!

I was thinking of forgoing the custom postcards and going with some vintage flower ones that fit our theme. They definitely seem like a more cost effective plan

When do you plan on sending them out? Every so often groupon has a deal for vistaprint (spend $17 get $70 worth of stuff). if you print through there, they come with the envelops. On vistaprint, its about 10 for $7.99 but if you open an account its 10 for $5.99 i believe. you end up geting 150 STDs for about 50-60 and you really only spent $17

I did postcards on vistaprint. They had a Sale 100 for 10.00. They turned out great and everyone loved them

I did them on vistaprint last night and used a groupon for $15 for $45 worth of product so I made the postcards and bought return address labels.
