We were really happy with our wedding save the dates from there. My sister made the design, and we uploaded it and they came out great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-686672 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:14:39 +0000 Boogs 686672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many great suggestions! I'm looking around as we speak so hopefully I can get my invites printed by the end of this week. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683961 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:13:46 +0000 tysonja 683961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't have too many to do and there is not too much colour involved, you can just print it on regular water colour paper (buy a pad at an art store), exacto it, and round corners. we did this for our (hundreds) of wedding invites. here is a great tutorial:<br /> <a href="http://lovelydesign.blogspot.ca/2010/02/for-3-year-old-girl.html" rel="nofollow">http://lovelydesign.blogspot.ca/2010/02/for-3-year-old-girl.html</a><br /> <a href="http://lovelydesign.blogspot.ca/2008/02/first-birthday.html" rel="nofollow">http://lovelydesign.blogspot.ca/2008/02/first-birthday.html</a><br /> <a href="http://lovelydesign.blogspot.ca/2011/02/invitation-for-almost-four-year-old.html" rel="nofollow">http://lovelydesign.blogspot.ca/2011/02/invitation-for-almost-four-year-old.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683894 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:52:56 +0000 runsyellowlites 683894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the UPS Store. They've always done a great job &amp; I spent less than 10 bucks on 25 double-sided invites for P's birthday!</p> <p>Before finding them we printed at the local college's Media Services department (where they do their in-house printing).</p> <p>We don't have a Staples but OfficeDepot was an arm &amp; leg comparatively so we refuse to use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683884 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:49:25 +0000 twodoghouse 683884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually use Catprint, but I've also used PSPrint with good results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683861 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:42:32 +0000 anbanan15 683861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I embossed our wedding invites using my home printer (Epson Artisian) and they came out great! So much more cost effective and we had them instantly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683850 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:39:31 +0000 DillonLion 683850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vistaprint </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683822 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:33:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 683822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my wedding invitations printed at a local Staples print shop, which was fine, though there were a lot of small mishaps, and it was text only-- if you wanted photos or something on it, I have no idea how the quality would be. They also cut them down to size for me-- so I'd print 2 on a page then they used their big machine to cut it down to the grid marks. </p> <p>I've also designed things and uploaded them to Vista Print without a problem, always cheap, but sometimes the turn around time can be a little long. One tip-- if you place multiple orders and only pay the fastest shipping for one order, they will just about always ship them all to you at the fastest speed, since it's cheaper for them to ship once. And always, always look for promo codes with them- never pay full price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683754 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:09:54 +0000 JamieLee 683754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a local print shop. I design invites for a living and love having a local shop that knows me and I know their quality. If its a small run, I just print at home and cut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683732 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:58:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 683732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have just used a local print shop. They have done a great job working with me. Weight of paper, matte/glossy, color, etc. </p> <p>I actually used them to print our wedding invites too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683725 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:56:06 +0000 avivoca 683725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used local print shops with good results for my wedding invitations and save-the-dates. For baby shower invitations and moving announcements, I've printed them at home on nice paper with an inkjet printer and had great results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683687 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:41:49 +0000 pui 683687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I printed my wedding invitations on nice paper on my regular laser printer, then I cut them to size using a roller cutter. They turned out amazing and were inexpensive (especially since I designed them myself too lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683678 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:39:58 +0000 MediaNaranja 683678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have actually used the local Kinkos in the past and been very pleased! The quality was great and they were able to print samples on different cardstock for me so I could pick what I liked best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683401 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:26:13 +0000 Boogs 683401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Springtime: I wish I knew of something, but not sure how to find it.</p> <p>@wheres_c: I love their quality also, but not sure if I can get my stuff quickly enough. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683273 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:41:11 +0000 wheres_c 683273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use MPIX based on a recommendation here. They aren't super cheap but the card stock is cheap and great quality. We used them for birth announcements and baptism invites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683263 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:35:28 +0000 Springtime 683263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm using a local printing shop in my town. I found it to be cheaper and better quality then what I could find online or walmart/walgreens. Do you have anything like that around? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683194 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:03:15 +0000 Raindrop 683194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had DS 1st bday invites printed at shutterfly, my tip is google for coupon codes before you pay b/c you can put in more than one and it usually saves you a lot of money. :) Also I print a few extra to have them as keepsakes. It runs for me about a dollar an invite in the end. Which is on the pricey side I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/printing-invitations#post-683172 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 20:50:59 +0000 Boogs 683172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have a digital file for invitations, where do you normally have yours printed at? </p>
