Question: Vistaprint invitations

I am actually purchasing my inner and outer envelopes through cardsandpockets.com because they're nicer. The ones that came from vistaprint are kind of flimsy lookin and remind me of junk mail. I did the same promotions you got, so saved a ton on the invites so I did choose to spend more on the envelopes

I can't answer your question but I've been searching for the link to the free banner from Vista print. Do you still have it?

I am ordering my invites (not for a while) and my STD's (soon) from there and I was wondering, is that coupon code for $20 for $60 still available? IDK what I am gonna do about envelopes yet. So what envelopes do their invites and RSVP cards come with on VP?

Amanda that's a great idea. I like the quality of cardsandpockets.com. I'll just have to make sure I order the right size envelopes.

Kelly, here's the free banner link: http://www.vistaprint.com/free-custom-banners.aspx?GP=12%2f4%2f2013+8%3a32%3a04+AM&GPS=3033481911&GNF=1

Ashley, yes the groupon is still available for a few more days. The envelopes you get with invitations are just plain white basic envelopes. Like Amanda stated above, she's going to order envelopes from somewhere else. I got my STDs from there and used their envelopes to mail those out though.

VP does provide envelopes. White envelopes when you order or you can order personalized ones.

Thank you so much. Good luck with your envelope quest.

@Melissa- the invitations from vistaprint are quite large. I decided I'm going to trim them down to a 5x7 which is easy to do since I'm doing a simple design. I would definitely wait to order envelopes until you receive your VP order. Good luck! I'm sure they'll turn out beautifully.

Guys, where do I get the $20 for $60 coupon? On retailmenot.com?

KT it is a groupon deal. Once you apply your groupon, you can go through retailmenot to get more discounts.

For example, I put in a big order that was $348 originally but I paid $100.95 + $15 for a $15 for $45 groupon deal. So $116 total! Sweet deal.

@Amanda, I thought they were large myself. I haven't ordered them yet. Mine just has a color border around it I could trim down to a 5x7. What size were the RSVP cards...standard 3x5?

KT, go to www.groupon.com and search for Vistsprint.

You can also upgrade the vistaprint envelopes, and it's not much extra. This is what I was planning to do- does any one know if the upgraded, personalized envelopes are flimsy too?

I plan to buy my invitations from Etsy, but haven't bought them yet. I see this groupon expires Dec 31st. I hope there will be more groupons when the time comes for me to print my invitations!

@Melissa... What did you put on your banner? What are you using it for?

Melissa- The inserts are approx. 4.25" x 7.25"

I am planning to trim all the pieces except the RSVP and round the corners to dress them up a bit. I also did the linen paper for all of them except the RSVP postcard and they turned out nice. I ordered way early so that I could DIY the rest and take my time on them.

I hope this helps you or someone else looking to order from VP!

I ordered 5x7 invites which I've read are more like 5x6.5ish. I haven't gotten them yet but we'll see when they come!

Here is the free banner I am getting for my gift/guest book table at the reception. My colors are fuchsia, black and silver. Also here are the invites I planned on ordering. I think I should be able to cut them down to 5x7 and trim down the inserts. I have 5 extras I can play with. Plus a free mug I made for myself, other side has our wedding date.

I just bought the groupon for my STD's .... I will order them and stash them away until next year so that I get this deal. Thanks for the link!

Try LCIPaper.com. I handmade my invitations from scratch and theyre a weird size so it took ages to find an envelope that would fit right, and the only one i found was at LCIPaper

You're welcome Ashley.

Thanks Jackie, I'll check it out once I get my invitations and see if I can trim them down smaller.
