What are you all doing? Engagement pic, printable, postcard, magnet? I don't really want to fiddle with printing them myself. If you are ordering, where are you ordering from?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! NO idea!
The plan is to use the engagement photos I'm undecided if we will be using one or two photos, but they will be on a magnet and from Magnet Street more than likely. They more than likely won't match the invites though.
We are doing magnets with our epics on them. Ordered through magnet street. We got the "photo booth" magnets called "traditional" about 2/STD because we ordered 50, the more you buy the less it costs. Unfortunately we needed 52, but you can only order by increments of 25. However they also include foil lined mailing envelopes. We haven't received them yet, should be here this week. At first I was going to make my own but after I found magnet street, I thought I couldn't go wrong for 2 for each. I also found a coupon code for 10 off.
We're ordering them from a local invitation shop. I'm not doing magnets or engagement pictures. They are three cards put together with a pink ribbon and slate gray ink. I can't show the proof because it's the wrong file format, but they look like this:
The first card is the save the date, the second is accommodation info (about 90% of our guests will be OOT), and the third card is things to do in the area.
We're going to use a postcard from Vistaprint. Hopefully. We're doing engagement pics next Monday, then we'll design the STDs as soon as we get the pictures back. The postcards just seemed cheapest and easiest.
We're working with a graphic designer www.jacquelineddesigns.com who is helping us design our magnets. Once we finish with that, we'll help design the carrier card. We have epics on the 29th and whenever we get those back we'll put it all together and she'll send them out to us.
We are doing a card with an engagement picture on the front in the "tie the knot" format seen below. I am getting the cards printed from Vistaprint but then doing the string/knot part to the ordered cards myself.
we are foregoing STDCs all together. Our guest list is very small (around 80, including children), for a grand total of like 33 invites. LOL Our guests who will travel to attend is <10 people, so I just emailed those friends of mine with details.

We used mpix.com, which I would HIGHLY recommend. We were able to design our own postcard using 4 engagement pics, and do printing on the back. They were WAY cheaper than Shutterfly, and I had them in 3 days, fully printed and shipped via USPS.
Now I just have to get the remaining addresses for our guests and print out labels to send out these 200 STDs.
