Bought templates on etsy as well as designing them myself in photoshop.<br /> For regular cardstock I print at mpix but they dont have black shiny paper.</p> <p>If you send me some links of ones you like, I'd be happy to customize for you, so you can just get them printed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-make-invitations#post-627800 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 23:40:33 +0000 JamieLee 627800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: If you'd like, you can email me your details and I can put something together for you...let me know if you'd be interested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-make-invitations#post-627772 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 23:15:37 +0000 anonysquire 627772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JamieLee: wow that is great work! There is an invitation that I have in mind and kind of wanted to make one similar. It just looks like black paper and like rainbow tie dye letters almost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-make-invitations#post-627754 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 23:04:32 +0000 JamieLee 627754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only way you'll get colored ink on black "paper" is to actually print on white paper and print out the black background, unless you know someone who can screen print or you have access to an awesome high end printer! </p> <p>Here's an example of an invite I did that had a black background: [Sorry, we don't allow self-linking per our self-promotion policy! - Mr. Bee]</p> <p>I had it printed at a local print shop on glossy paper and it turned out great.</p> <p>I highly recommend Etsy for invites. Most of the time you can choose from a digital file you print yourself or having the artist do the printing for you. Plus your supporting a small business owner versus a big company. If you need advice for where to have a digital file printed, let me know.</p> <p>ETA: the really awesome thing about Etsy is that even if you can't find exactly what you're looking for, you can usually find someone who will customize it for you. Can you tell I love Etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-make-invitations#post-627743 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 22:56:32 +0000 anonysquire 627743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: that would be cool! I'd definitely go for that. And I haven't used shutterfly but is that just for picture invites? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-make-invitations#post-627683 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 22:22:34 +0000 chopsuey 627683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made invites/announcements on shutterfly..not sure if they have what you're looking for though.<br /> There are some designer bees who make cards and etc for a living.. Maybe they can custom design something for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-make-invitations#post-627665 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 22:07:46 +0000 anonysquire 627665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where do you guys go to make invitations? This is for my husbands bday party. I'll kind of describe what I'm looking for and maybe hopefully someone will know where I can find something like this?</p> <p>*no pictures on it<br /> *black paper with colored writing<br /> *like shiny black card stock<br /> *totally awesome</p> <p>Anyone have a go to place to get invites? I would have my cousin do these because she is an invite wizard but it might not be appropriate. Help! </p>
