I am thinking about ordering my wedding invites through vista print with an envelop and send it. But someone mentioned making postcards instead where it would be cheaper to send. The postcard obviously won't be in an envelop which I feel like has a greater chance of being damaged or lost. Also, others would be able to see the information on it. But it might be worth saving the money. The guests would RSVP on this website so I'm not sending anything else that would require being in an envelop. I need some thoughts about this. Have you done this before?
Re: Postcard Wedding Invites?
Do check your wording with us. Some of Vistaprint's suggested wording is just awful, and their punctuation is wrong. We will be happy to help you do it the right way.
If you're not crazy about vistaprint the bundles on david's bridal were also inexpensive and I got compliments on mine. I added an information card (from vistaprint) about transportation and some tissue paper but it was still light enough to just use a regular "forever" stamp
I used the postcard method for STDs...while most of them showed up just fine a couple of them looked "scuffed up" and one had a shoe print on it. For the wedding we had RSVP Cards and an insert so there was no option to do a postcard, but it still cost the same as a regular stamp!
Outside of the likelihood to be looked over or not be pretty, I would be most concerned with the event info being broadcasted. Our STDs were just first names, date and a city. It was unlikely anyone would be able to use that against us. Invites however, contain full names, venue address, start times, etc...
IMO I would use envelopes for privacy in addition to all the other reasons PP mentioned.
