HELP! Printing save-the-dates

Hello!My FI made amazing save-the-dates for us.  However, we are having a really hard time figuring out how to get them printed because they are postcards, but panoramic-sized instead of regular.  I have looked at all sorts of websites with no luck-- mypublisher, zazzle, iprint, vistaprint, kodakgallery, snapfish, shutterfly.  Either they don't have panoramic size as an option, or they do but only with a template.  Kinko's has a panoramic option where you can upload your design, but the options for the back don't work at all, so we'd have to do them by hand, or run them through a printer.Does anyone have any ideas, or know of any companies that do customized panoramic postcards??Thank you!!!!!!!!!

    What are the dimensions of your panoramic postcard? Maybe of VistaPrints other products (like a 4x8 rack card) might work?

    It's 4x9. We could cut it down somehow to fit vistaprint. All of the backs of the vistaprint cards though have a full message on them. I am guessing that they are designed for putting into an envelope and mailing. I suppose that could be our last resort. We just wanted to try to skip that step.

    I would suggest trying to find something as close to 4x9 as possible and then adjusting your design to fit. For example the 4x8 card from VP. Or, they have an oversized postcard that is 8.5x5.5. I think they also have an invitation that is 6x9 (could be trimmed).What do you want on the back of the card? VP lets you customize everything. You can make it so its fit to be stamped and mailed, or you can add whatever other images or text, or upload another design for the back. Or you can leave it blank.I'm not trying to push VP on you specifically, its just that my answer to your question "do you know of any companies that do customized panoramic postcards?" is no :) And I've used VP so I know they have lots of choices!

    Ditto SK, if you have looked at all of those sources already, I would assume that unless you hired someone to print and cut them to size (which is an option if you contact a local printer...) your next best bet is to resize or tweak the design to work with a better dimension.  I used a printer in Salisbury for my invites but its probably not convenient for you.  Sorry!

    Vistaprint has a postcard that is 6x9 that you could then cut down.  Good luck!

    i actually did vistaprint too, and theres another option you can select for the back where you can change the design and we chose to just have them blank with our date on the back so we could stamp and address it
