Vista Print--I'm clueless

Nicremy Moonderson

I know lots of people use this site, I have zero experience on it.  Any and all tips are helpful at this point.I'm looking for the following:1. small basic cards to print directions on2. the photo sharing card telling people where to upload pics they took (and what size of these things should I be looking at?)Now, obv. the directions cards go in the invitation envelopes, what about the picture card?  Also in there or do guests get those at the reception?As the title of the post reads...I'm clueless.TIA.

First off, you have the coupons for free things right? If not, FIRST sign up for their mailing list to get a free coupon.  Then to answer your questions...1. For direction cards you could order the regular post cards (3x5). I think you get 100 for free2. Use the business cards for this - you get 250.  I had 125 guests so everyone got one on their plate at the reception then I put one in everyones thank you card if they hadn't already uploaded pictures as either a reminder to upload, or to see any pics already posted! HTH!

Vistaprint hints in planning bio. Sign up for their emails, you'll get "free offers" daily. For the pic card, I would use the buisness cards (250 free). I would have these at the reception. They will get lost being sent in the invitations For the directions, use the postcards (100 free)

Thanks for the tips...and I'm glad I asked because I did not know about anything being free until I asked here.  That would have been horrible if I'd paid the $6.99 or whatever it is for every quantity of ten.

Thanks for asking this qusetion! I was looking for the photo sharing card as well. What site did everyone use for people to upload too?

I would def. not use Snapfish, the print quality is terrible (IMO).  I'm not sure yet which site I'll use for that.  I like the idea of putting those cards in with the TY notes that was mentioned, but if we do TY postcards that won't work!  So hopefully people will take those if we put them on each person's plate at the reception.  I'm curious as to how this panned out for other brides that did it, like are people really uploading their pics or is it only a handful of guests doing it?

We used Shutterfly for the upload site. We got about 8 people who upload around 400 pics total. Totally worth it!!

We only had 3 people upload pics and it was probably around 80-100 pics total.  I was really disappointed.  But a lot of people posted them on FB so didn't think to go put them there too.  Anyone I saw that I liked I asked them to burn them on a disk for me. But we used Shutterfly and it was easy to do.
