Yay! Wedding programs are done - I LOVE Vistaprint (Thanks Hayley!)

Jillian, on July 15, 2011 at 11:32 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 37

I just ordered all my wedding programs from Vistaprint for FREE! Yes, 200 wedding programs for FREE. The total came out to $32.04 for 200 of them... I used Hayley's recommendation for wedding programs - use rack cards. Not to mention the fantastic link provided by the Vistaprint Weebly Goddess, there was a link for 50 free. I did four transactions at $8.01 per transaction after shipping, handling, taxes, and a colored back side Smiley smile Check them out...

    How did you do that. I am freaking out on trying to get my STD's done. They look marvelous.

    It took about an hour just because I had to get the order right and all the songs correct. Plus, I had to do some searching for wording for the thank you and "in loving memory of" parts on the back of them. Basically, I just used the advanced edit tool and went to town on the rack cards on the site. Plus, the front is a glossy finish, so it makes them look "expensive..." and that's included in the "free" price Smiley smile

    I so so badly want to do programs but don't know where to even begin. Im short on time but then again would only need like 65. Ugh...to do them or not. Yours are gorgeous and making me want to do them. Were they hard?

    Not at all... I say go for it! They're really easy and only took an hour just because I had to get everything right and the wording figured out. Hayley has some great ideas in the link above. You can do expedited shipping for super cheap too Smiley smile

    Also, here is a link to examples... http://www.weddingclipart.com/category/wedding-programs.html They are the same size as the VP rack cards.

    you can click on one and copy the wording... open up VP threw the email link posted at the top of my discussion https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/ideas-for-free-vistaprint-items/2abf6902970b601e.html

    and paste it in a text box. Use the advance edit and size the box and move it to where you want.

    Did it come out as good as the once online? It was refer to me by the event coordinator and I did samples. I just wonder if the quality, print and paper come out physically =).

    I ordered my rehearsal dinner invites (postcards), wedding invites, RSVPs, information cards, OOT guest totes, chapstick labels (return address labels), return address labels, water bottle labels for OOT guest bags, and I will also be ordering our Thank You cards after the wedding from them. The quality is great, especially with the glossy front finish. They look very nice and they're on thick card stock, so they're not flimsy (sp?). Everyone who has received them has had nothing but nice things to say... Plus, can you say SUPER cheap! Thanks Hayley, again Smiley smile

    Ok, let's try this again!

    Here they are! Sorry for the poor cell phone quality, but I got 140 for free from VP and just used our initial "L" and to the right of it, it says "Jillian & Chris" with our date right below it. They're a dark gray color, although, the pictures make them appear brown. I ordered 40 tubes of vanilla chapstick with no labels (got a great deal - they were only $17 I think) and the address labels wrapped around perfectly and stick to the tube without a problem Smiley smile
