    You could always have them made on Etsy. You can do a lot with photoshop to make something LOOK like a vintage postcard with a less-vintage price tag :o)

    Have you tried googling "Paris vintage postcard" (insert whatever location in for Paris)?  I found a bunch that way.  A lot through this website although I haven't actually ordered any so I can't vouch for their service:

    have you actually thought about collecting vintage post card images off google and then printing them yourself on card? Could be a cheaper option. that way you dont have pay great amounts!

    I've seen a lot at antique stores. I like Az's idea too.

    I really like the idea of using photoshop.  Has anyone tried something like this?  Not really my area of expertise :)

    I actually did this- but ours was taking the Casablanca movie poster and replacing ourselves as the stars... we did it for our Save the Dates. It was fairly easy for my best friend/MOH to make, it took maybe an hour. Most of the hour was trying to figure out the right font. If you're interested in how we did it there's a short tutorial on my blog.

    I would try Googling or looking on Etsy.  You should hopefully have some luck that way!

    I'm getting vintage postcards made for my save the date, and I found them on Etsy, the seller is Paper Heart Design. I sent her a picture of my church for the front, and she designs the artwork for the back.  There's lots of other Etsy sellers that do vintage postcards, too.

    You can try and design your own and print them on Zazzle. Also, I've seen a ton of vintage postcards at antique stores.

    If you don't end up making yourself [which would be awesome!], you could try going to antique stores? I've gone to a few recently and they have tons of vintage postcards for anywhere from 50 cents to $3+ each
