POSTCARD HELP!!!!!!

HI all, I am looking for some assistance with my Save the Dates.  It looks like my fiancé and I have finally decided on a Postcard. Of course we didn’t really find anything we loved so I did some research and created one in Publisher.  I am now trying to figure out how to print them.  Ironically, I got an email from Vista Print the other day for a promotional price on past cards with them, and I can even upload my design.  I have also read that Fedex Kinko’s does a nice printing job. Does anyone have any experience with either?  My concern is I don’t want them to look like a post card, printed on a flimsy piece of paper.   Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    The oversized VP postcards are good quality.  They are thick and glossy.  I have never used Kinkos before.

    ^ I second overnight prints and vista print too. I also did postcard save the dates and the quality from overnight prints is nice especially for the price. You also can't go wrong with vista print.

    I've heard good things about zazzle, vista print, overnight prints....

    and I also have some personal experience with Staples.  They printed our (print-your-own style) invitations.  I was really skeptical that they would look even remotely decent.  I had come to terms with the fact that we were just going to have lame invitations when I gave up fighting with my printer and decided I needed help.

    Staples did an excellent job.  Seriously better (and more within budget) than any flat printing we could have gotten done more professionally (or boutique-y) somewhere else.  I would go there again, and I plan to have them print any other wedding (or non-wedding) things we need.

    So I'm going to highly recommend Staples as well, if you like working with people :).  The websites above are all great too.  Try to get 100lb or thicker paper to get the right consistency for a postcard.

    Good luck!
