I typically order from Vistaprint because it's the cheapest and I'm satisfied with the quality. But I also usually design my own in Photoshop. A little less time this year with a NB so I'll like to try out other sites. I love the designs on tinyprints but they are SO expensive even with coupons/deals!
I paid $28 for 30 cards from Vistaprint last year!
Does anyone know if it's ever possible to use a coupon code in conjunction other running deals on tinyprints?
Thanks!

I think we used tinyprints last year (but we had a good coupon).

When I design them myself I use mpix.com to print, if I'm in a serious time crunch I'll use minted.com since I love their designs. I'm a graphic designer though so I go for quality of paper and printing over cost.

We always order them from Costco! We always need like 100+ (for our parents to distribute too) so we go cheap. I would prefer the thick matte style like tinyprints, but Wagon Sr. likes the photo print quality Costco delivers.

We use vistaprint too! There's currently a groupon for $70 worth for $27, I think it expires today though!
I figure with that I can get the designer collection for cheap

My mom uses Shutterfly; she claims there're always coupon codes

I typically ordered through vista print, but last year I think I ended up going with Walmart because I found a design I liked and they were cheat. I also order a lot (like 60?) and prefer card stock printing to photo paper printing.

Have you guys seen the premium stationary from costco? They are matte cardsock cards like tiny prints uses, but much cheaper. We are getting those ones this year (and they're what I use for all invitations) and they're $34 for 50 cards. Much cheaper but seriously the same, nice matte cardstock....they are beautiful! !

Tiny Prints just had a coupon deal...I think it was through Amazon Local?
I used Picaboo this year because I had a coupon. 50 cards for $20

Minted or Tiny Prints for the last few years because I like them to be heavier cardstock (non-photo paper). This year we might try Costco because they now have the same option at a cheaper price.

I don't order from vistaprint via their photo/holiday card options. Because I upload my design I usually find a deal for "announcements' which comes in a cardstock.
We don't shop at Costco because there isn't one near us. I assume you need a membership to order their cards?

I usually design my own and print at Catprint. This year to save time I might do Tiny Prints or Minted. I'm hoping to get them mailed out by the company too because I still have birth announcements I never sent out because I didn't have time to address, stuff and send them!

Tinyprints or Minted. It sounds like I should check out Costco, though! Our xmas list keeps on growing so a more economical option would be good.

Yikes, it's that time of the year again! I think I will go with Costco this year.

I normally do Shutterfly but Vistaprint I just designed them and can get 100 for $55...seems like a very good deal!

I design my own and I ordered them last minute last year from Overnight Prints.

I usually do Costco, but did Shutterfly last year bc we had a gift card. This year there was a TinyPrints deal on Amazon Local so going to give them a try!

Walmart. They have some good designs and are affordable.

HELLO.
I sell and make my own. And love to design for my friends!!

Tinyprints. I found a design I loved. The quality was great. We only send out maybe 40, so I didn't feel like it was too expensive. I'm sure I used a coupon code. We actually ended up ordering a bunch more last year, because DH wanted to send some more to clients and we ordered from vistaprint. They didn't look as high-end but I was happy with the quality and they came so fast.

I design my own and print through my lab (I'm a professional photographer) on matte card stock. We send over 100 cards so I have to keep it cheap!

@Rainbow Sprinkles: We're trying them this year!
I've gotten deals from Zazzle/Groupon in the past... but we're going to try out Costco's cards (not the photo paper) this year.
@Mrs. Jump Rope: Ohhh girl, walling you!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Lol!
I usually order from etsy, and use the same girl for everything. For $18 I get a custom design. Then I print at Costco because it's so cheap and we send out sooo many cards.

We have ordered from Minted, Shutterfly and Tiny Prints. All were great quality - we like folded cards and they all turned out really nice. I use whichever has the design I like best and also take into consideration any coupons/promos. One year I won a $50 credit to tiny prints in a giveaway

@Mrs. Jump Rope: LOL TBH I really love designing my own! And pretty sure this cheap ass can't afford your glitter printed holiday cards. 
hehe
wonderful pear / 26210 posts
Gosh, I think we've tried them all.
Last year we used Vistaprint. I liked the cards, but the envelopes were really thin and cheap looking. I know I shouldn't care, because no one is putting my envelope on their mantle, but still.

@looch: haha that's also it. Almost everyone throws it out after the holidays! I only keep cards from our siblings.

@MaryM: I did the same deal from Picaboo this year, they just came in the mail yesterday and i'm really really happy with them. Last year i used shutterfly and tiny prints to do birth announcements and christmas cards and it seems like they changed their coupon structure bc you can't really stack the coupon codes anymore
pomelo / 5041 posts
Usually tiny prints. If you add them on FB they're always posting their deal codes. I've used shutterfly as well and a bestie uses minted but I can usually not afford minted for large mailings.

Its between Shutterfly and Snapfish. It all depends on the holiday coupons. We have not been disappointed yet.
pomelo / 5041 posts
Shutterfly has 40% off using the code EARLY40 until October 28 if you're ready to order your holiday cards now.
hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts
I think last year I did shutterfly because I had a promo from Pampers!
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@MaryM: did your cards come? Are you happy? I ordered last night because of the awesome Groupon. But now I'm finding less than favorable reviews and I'm getting anxious since I procrastinated!
@Chillybear: oh, I'm so glad to hear this! Did you order the signature or premium? Do you remember how many business days it took?
