Jewish Weddings

Vistaprint?

Curious if anyone has used vistaprint for any aspect of their paper - but with the inclusion of Hebrew fonts (whether they were/are save-the-dates, invitations, programs, etc.).If so, how was the quality?  I am thinking of using someone to design invitations and response cards and she'll then upload them for printing to vistaprint.  I am just curious how they will come out, never having used vistaprint.Thanks.

    I used vista print for my thank you cards. Not sure if they do hebrew. They turned out good. Except on the back they say vista print

    Typically, the design is uploaded as a JPEG file.  Thus, it won't matter whether the fonts are English or Hebrew--Vistaprint is just treating them as a design, anyway.We did our photo sharing cards using Vistaprint, and they came out very nicely.  There are really only two issues I've found with using Vistaprint.  First, their card stock is not as heavy as some of what you can find elsewhere.  However, if you are putting the invitation onto a mat, or using the Vistaprint cards as response cards, they should be adequate.The second issue is that everything gets printed on white paper.  Thus, if you want to have a background color, you need to incorporate the background into the design.  For our thank you notes (which we wanted printed on cream paper), we decided to go elsewhere.

    Thanks to you both.  Yes, I forgot about the jpeg angle.  I'm just wondering if it'll look "cheap" or be quite nice.  You want to save money but at the same time, not look like you are cutting too many corners. Unfortunately, I don't need save the dates or anything, though perhaps I'll order thank you cards and see how I like them.  If I don't (and my style doesn't look too much like a wedding), I can always use the cards for future where a thank you would be needed and order from somewhere else.  Given the cost, there's nothing to lose. :-)

    I just used vista print for my save the dates. The quality of our picture and the print itself came out great, but we expected the paper to be thicker. We ordered postcards (to be put into envelopes) and thought they would be as thick as a real postcard. They feel like a regular peice of cardstock. Overall, we were happy, especially since our design was 50% off when we were ready to order! You also get a 25% off your next order coupon, so if you order them seperately it could save you a lot!

    oh, each product also has a "vistaprint.com" on the bottom right corner in gray (at least on the postcards). we were able to put a gray border around our print, so the website is hidden. hope that helps!

    If you have the time, I'd suggest just doing your own printing (if you have a photo printer). I printed my programs, menus, escort cards, and photoshare cards on a cardstock I bought at Staples. I think, including the ink, it was all less than $60.
