VistaPrint is the overwhelming response you will get on this board. If you lurk around, they have Groupon-type deals almost every week. I haven't done this YET but there may be some other girls who have done it already that will have some advice. Better yet, you can probably look through the threads and posts and get some assistance there as well.

We designed ours in Photoshop and printed them on a really nice heavy weight letterpress paper at home.

I asked my photographer and she made a design for us (you can also pay someone on Etsy to make you a design/file) and I printed them on Uprinting. They turned out great!

I found a STD on minted.com that my FI and I love.  Not sure how Minted stacks up in price relative to the other sites, but I loved it because it was not a typical STD.  It was very informal, laid back, and funny which I haven't been able to find anywhere else.

They are having a special that you can get 3 free samples from their site (I a waiting for mine now) the code was 3FREE or FREE3.

I just did mine on walmart.com in the photo section. They have templates and prices are the same as prints. I ended up doing mine for about $.40 a piece. I looked into Staples, Shutterfly and VIstaPrint all which seemed a little too expensive for me.

Mine is a combination of printing at home on cardstock and adding magnets from VP.
