I'm using Vistaprint for party invitations (for the Thursday night before our wedding). I can't decide whether or not to use their mailing services. It seems it would save me a lot of hassle (from having to address and stamp them myself) and a bit of money, with the discounted postage...but I'm a little nervous to send somethingto all of our wedding guests that I haven't seen with my own eyes. Can anyone vouch for Vistaprint? What did you do?
I'd want to see them with my own eyes before they were sent to guests! And hand-addressing, although time consuming, is much more personal. In my experience Vista print postcards are super glossy on both sides so make sure to use a permanent pen (like a thin Sharpie) if you hand-address.
They are only glossy on the front with the design. The back is matte and you can write on it with no problem. I've never had a problem with their quality and have ordered SEVERAL sets of postcards using their templates and SEVERAL other sets uploading my own designs. I highly reccommend them, but I would also suggest you mail them yourself. Be sure to sign up for their emails and you should be able to get 100 postcards for free and only have to pay for shipping.
I love vistaprint and use them all the time - but I would still like to see things before I sent them out. I'm a bit control freaky like that. I've never had anything wrong with any of my dozens of orders from them, but again - I'm weird like that.
I must say though that I have a friend who owns her own business and useses their mailing service and loves it, never had a complaint.
I think that it's just a matter of weather or not you can deal with not seeing one until it reaches you - (and I would mail one to yourself)
