Personalised postcard style wedding invitations - 19p each!

Hi there:

Just to say I got a great deal on my invitatons which I got delivered today. And they look brill!

I got 120 thankyou cards, 80 evening invitations and 35 wedding invitations for £40.84. It was 10p a postcard, plus £3.50 handling and £8.50 postage.

I used a jpg for the front of the postcard and then typed out what I wanted for the back of the card on a word document, and then PDF'd that using a free website and then used that as the back of the cards..

It was really really easy! I can give advice on how to do it if you wish.

I ordered these on Sunday night and got them this afternoon by courier!

    Thanks for the tip - that is an absolute bargain. I've heard of people spending hundreds on invites. I think I might use them...

    James:

    I will get around to posting a pic but I was amazed at how quickly they came and its pretty easy to do. They will also do the work in formating the invitation for you if you give them the wording, for you but that'll cost you an extra £25 so i just did it myself.

    if you need any tips let me know.

    Its mainly used for businesses so if it was folded it would be what they class as christmas cards..

    But i put in 235 AS6 card style - which is what i got for £40 and its £200.27 so obviously a lot more than a plain postcard. I guess because of doubelt the material and a lot more work.
