    I was thinking about using them to make some rehearsal dinner invites - never used them before, but it looks like they are having an amazing sale (30 invites for under $20!!)

    Anyone ever use them?  Opinions?

    I have used them before and I was not happy with the quality of there paper. You get what you pay for. If you sign up with them, they will send you emails for free stuff. I have been trying to get off of their mailing list for years. They spam me to death. They even spam my email accounts that I haven't signed up with them through. I don't have anything nice to say about them, but a lot of people on this site have used them and have been very happy with them.

    I used them for printing desk calendars with custom photos and loved them. Don't know about invites though.

    I used them for my business cards. They are not printed on the greatest quality of paper. It bends easily but you can upgrade and get a "coating" on the cards. I forgot what they are called. But since you are using for rehearsal dinner, why not. I don't see why spending the extra money to get formal invitations.

    I have used them for several invitations over the years and been happy with the quality of their products. I am not using them for my wedding invitations but would definitely recommend them for your rehearsal dinner. I am pretty picky and found the quality to be very good especially considering the very reasonable price.

    Thanks everyone for their input.....I am unsure if I feel like ordering them online or going to the store and purchasing some (which I did for my wedding invites and DIY'ed myself).

    I have seen the business cards - my bridal salon actually uses them - and they are pretty thin and bendy.

    I used vistaprint for our thank you cards. I thought they were great. Don't expect the same quality you would get from places that specialize in invitations and stationary, since vistaprint specializes in printing in mass quantities. But I thought that our thank you cards were great. I think it's definitely worth it to pay for the higher quality paper/cardstock and envelopes. And I paid extra to make sure there were no vistaprint logos anywhere.

    My friend just used them for her wedding invites. She also used their business cards are her Jack n Jill tickets. I know that it is important to have them look nice but they just go in the trash afterwards! (or a scrap book) I think the quality is good enough if you don't want to spend a fortune. My fiancee and I are paying for our whole wedding by ourselves... I have looked into Vistaprint too! Good luck! :)

    I used them for our STDs because I had a free offer. They were fine - not top quality, but there was nothing wrong with them, either.

    I used them for my sister's baby shower invites, and my sister used them for my bridal shower invites. They were cute and served their purpose. I would use them for a rehearsal dinner invite- they would be good.

    I was very happy with our oversized post card save the dates.  I paid the $5 for the envelopes.  They were thin, but served their purpose.

    I did not even consider them for wedding invites though.

    You might consider the oversized postcards for a RD though.

    My friend got married a few months back and she printed her invitations at this place called Cardinal Print and they came out beautiful. I haven't printed invitations or brochures or stuff like that with Cardinal Print but I did do some business cards and might I say: superb quality! I'm very happy that I printed with them.

    Cheers,

    Olavi

    Earlier this year when I was beginning my etsy store I had some thank you cards printed up for myself using them to see what they were like and they were pretty poor quality.  They also included their little logo on the back.  I don't really remember what my paper choices were but I like really thick paper and this was not.  

    I now print using Catprint.com I have printed many things with them and never been disappointed.  In fact I just got a rehearsal dinner invitation order in on cream shimmer paper and it is awesome!  You have to have your own design to upload they are just a printer, but have many different paper options.   If you look around on etsy I'm sure you could find a digital design you liked and purchase that and have them printed.

    I used them because I had a free offer and I'm glad it wasn't for something really important where I needed to make a statement, because the quality really didn't do anything for me. But you do get what you pay for, they are good but not great. I think they have good customer service and subpar quality....but for the price and the sales they offer, I really can't complain :D

    I used them for my STD's and they were just fine. I would say go for it esp. what you want to use them for.
