Printing at Office Depot/Fedex/Staples

Hello! I've just finished our invitations in photoshop and I'm making myself crazy figuring out how to print them. I'd like to do 2 per page, but I can't figure out how we're going to cut them correctly! We're using Cards of Wood sheets & the invitation design is very simple black and white. If you had your invitations printed at a copy shop, how did you figure out the spacing? Am I making this way too complicated?

We didn't have invitations printed but had menu cards printed at Staples. They were done two to a page. The template that was used had markings to show where cuts were to be made. Staples cut them - it was like $4/100 cuts. I felt it was well worth the money to make sure the cuts were done correctly (MOB here).

Office Depot is great. I paid $0.80 to have them cut 25 sheets of cardstock. You'd have to pay for printing too, of course. I would just go in and talk to them, they have computers where you can pull up your design and discuss it with them.

Thank you guys! I'll take my file in and get their advice.

FedEx will do the cutting for you, but I think they'll charge you per cut..I think $4. Mine was similar to what @ILoveBeachMusic had to say. The cut marks were on the page and they just cut based on that. I didn't do my invitations there but I did print all my menu cards, escort cards, programs, etc. It was WELL worth it. I had started cutting them myself a few at a time using what they have available for free and it would've taken hours!

Where did you get your cards of wood sheets?
