    I am starting to look for invitations and do not want to spend a ton on them. That being said I do want something that looks unique and nice. Does anyone have any experience with Zazzle? I have seen some designs that I really like on the webiste and am considering ordering. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions! =)

    I did my std's from them and LOVED THEM

    I just did a postcard but the quality and color was great

     

    Also, unlike vista print, they don't print their co. name on the back

    Thanks guys! I hope to hear from others. As far as time, I will allow plenty of time for them to get here so that should not be a problem.

    What paper type did you choose spraguebride ?

    I got mine and I LOOVE them, and I was able to get 250 invitations for the same price as 150.  The basic paper that they print on is similar to a photo paper, so if you want a little nicer finish, then I would suggest upgrading for the 10 cents or what ever, and then I did post card RSVP and inserts.  I just put the links up so you can see what I did.... Hope that it helps!  I was really happy with how they turned out, and everyone has said they are just adorable!!  :D

    Tonya, you can get very nice invitations for cheap cheap at party city.  I know, it sounds weird.  But they have a whole section of huge books and books of wedding invitations.  You'd NEVER know they were from party city and the best part is: you get see the samples and feel the paper in person before you order! If you have one near you, at least give it a shot.  They've got a HUGE collection.

    oh.... on the insert, I had to edit the brown background so I could publish it, but when I had it printed, it covered the whole front of the postcard.

    I've used them for non-paper gifts (mugs, mouse pad, aprons...)  The quality wasn't great straight away, but if you're unhappy they'll keep shipping you new ones (and you keep the originals) until you are.  Of course, I know have 3 sets of identical mugs with FI & my dog on them...

    i used zazzle for our stds and loved them! i had a crazy email coupon from them too, and got 75% off. they came really pretty fast and they're all great. before we ordered all of them, we ordered a smaller amount as a sample (10 was the minimum), and there were a couple that it seemed like were lower quality--it looked like some of the image didn't print on the card in a couple spots, hard to explain--but when we ordered the full amount it came out perfect. i used the linen paper, it's really nice :)

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions and comments. It is awesome to have WB for these kind of questions. If I ask my friends something like this they are like "whats Zazzle?"

    I really love designs on Etsy, although do not want to spend that much on invites that someone is just going to throw away after it is all said and done.

    @hisbunnny, Thanks so much for sending the link and for the info. that helps a lot! I really like your invites!

    @VM, I have never heard of Party City so I am going to assume that we do not have one. Darn! We do have Party Outlet. Maybe that would be similar. Perhaps I will check.

    @Twalila, That is nice to know that if I am not satisfied, they will ship new ones. I guess I just need to make sure and order in plenty of time.

    @Finnaroo, Where did you get the coupon? I am interested in this one for sure!! =) I was thinking about doing the linen or recyclyed paper for sure.

    @Lauren, Glad to hear that yours turned out well! Makes me feel better about choosing them. You just never know when ordering something like this via internet.

    @Sprequebride, I have looked Target, they are cute, but I just don't think that I want to put myself through that. Thanks for the suggestion though! =)
