    Has anyone used Vista Print for their wedding invitations? It looks simple enough, but what is the quality of paper and printing?

    Any feedback you can share would be greatly appreciated!

    I used them for my save the dates.  they were prompt, the printing was correct and I would say adequate quality.  They were not super high quality, but they looked nicer than I could have done at home or at my local kinkos

    A lot of people say they have good results with Vista Print, but I felt that the quality of the printing for my Save the Dates was kind of poor.  I know the prices are cheap, but I kind of feel like you get what you pay for there.  I am not sure I would recommend them.

    My fiance and I use Vista for our business cards and over all we're happy with the results. We also help 2 other business order off or vista and they love it. If you're unsure about vista conisder looking into 123print. I have a friend who recommended the site who was very pleased with them. Mr. JB and I are looking at using them for our STDs. Of course I think I also have to mention that 98% of the time when it comes to stationary you get what you pay for. Don't expect million dollar work for $100 invites. You can usally order a sample invite, by the way.

    I ordered a few different products and was happy with the experience overall. I bought a set of postcards which did had faint printing on the design, so I called and they offered to send another set for free (a full refund was also offered as a choice).

    We were 100% planning on using VistaPrint for our wedding invitations.  We ordered their samples, and we were going to go with their linen-finish cardstock (with a self-designed invitation suite).  But then on a whim, we decided to see if our home printer could handle the linen cardstock, and lo-and-behold it can!  So now we will be using our laser-jet printer at home, and I have found very similar linen cardstock to what VistaPrint uses at a great bulk discount.

    Nooooooo! Don't make the same mistake as me. I used VistaPrint for my save the dates and also ordered matching invitations. The save the dates looked nice. But the invitations were NOT anywhere near the quality that I expected. They certainly didn't match the quality of the wedding I was planning for my guests. I decided that I would be embarrassed to send them out, so I went to Al's Formal Wear - I never would have thought to go to Al's, but my girlfriend recommended their invitations, and they came in quickly and were just breathtaking! Worth the double investment.

    I ordered business cards from Vistaprint and I think they look fine..however the paper quality is not super fancy, so if you are looking for a really classy invite, I don't know if you will be satisfied with it.

    btw..I ordered the free 250 business cards and since they weren't needed quickly, I selected the 21-day delivery because it was the cheapest option...I was really surprised when 4 days later I had them in my hands..that, to me is GREAT service!!

    I ordered my STD's from them and thought the quality was just fine. You can request a wedding packet on the website that has samples of invites and other wedding related paper products.

    You can upgrade the paper.  I love the way mine turned out from there.  I used them for all the wedding paper products.
