vistaprint invitations..help?

TMNT Bride, on March 29, 2016 at 4:31 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 20

I'm planning on ordering my invitations from vistaprint but I'm curious about their different paper options. Has anyone ordered invitations from vistaprint? What paper option did you choose? Were you pleased? Any input from people who have used vistaprint is appreciated!!! (or any input about paper styles...I'm feeling clueless as I look at the paper options)

    I ordered from VistaPrint and just did the paper option that they included (definitely saved money since I ordered about 250 invitations.

    They turned out great - I am having a rustic theme so I didn't want glossy or anything too fancy. They are matte - pretty thick. I want to say kind of like a cardstock but thicker - yet thinner then cardboard? Does that make sense?

    I ordered from VistaPrint too Smiley smile for my invites I chose the default matte option (not the cheapest one but the next one, can't remember the name). They came out great!

    For anything that has pictures, definitely splurge and get the best type of paper, because otherwise the quality of the photo will be a bit lacking. But we used a pre-existing design from VistaPrint for our invites, so the matte paper looked great and we didn't spend extra.

    I'm using a pre-existing design as well...I think I'm going to go with the option that's one up from the option that's included...I don't want anything crazy fancy but I think I do want a little gloss...I'll have to think about it a little more before I order, though.

    Thanks for the input!!!

    I used a pre-existing design and a linen finish. I loved it!

    We used the regular paper option with Vistaprint- we didn't upgrade the paper. They turned out fine! But out invites were a little less formal, so we didn't want glossy paper. But the thickness was perfect.

    We upgraded to the "Premium White Matte Stock" and they look great! It's a thicker paper and very good quality...I don't know what the included paper is, though, so I can't really compare!

    I second the "premium white matte stock" and I based my decision on the wedding sampler that they sent me with all the different papers. Would definitely recommend! Makes the invites look very good.

    I upgraded to linen. They're fine, but wish I would have chosen the heavier paper instead. The linen adds some texture but not weight. For our design, (a stock design) I think heavier would have worked better. But I still like them!

    I ordered our STDs from Vista Print in linen and it adds a nice texture. They have a free sample kit you can order to see all that options beforehand: https://secure.vistaprint.com/wedding-sample-kit.aspx?GP=3%2f29%2f2016+10%3a02%3a34+PM&GPS=3889823462&GNF=1

    I just received my invitations in the mail last week and I love them. I used the premium matte paper and I love it. The only I warn is i used a pre-existing design and the color of the proof was lighter than the actual invite but for me that worked out great because the proof looked royal blue and the invite was actually navy and my colors are navy and blush.

    My FH and I used Vistaprint and LOVE our invitations! We got our STD, RSVPs, and Invites on the premium matte paper and they are fairly thick and durable. We used a pre-existing design as well. Our invitations came 3 days before we expected them and they looked great! We only had one little problem (which was an error on my part) and Vistaprint sent us all new invitations FREE OF CHARGE with the corrections on them. Love Love Love vistaprint.

    I'm sure whatever you choose, they will look fabulous! I ended up doing mine on shutterfly but it's all great!
