Shellsuit, ill be getting our save the date magnets from there aswell. Just one question though...

How big do they turn out? I've heard someone say they were small?

They do two different ones. The small ones are about the size of a standard business card and do look ok. They also do a larger one which is quite a bit bigger than the small one and looks really nice. We ordered 25 of the small and 10 of the large (both free) and whilst we prefer the large we thought that perhaps it's a little too big for some people's fridges.

I agree, vistaprint is great. I've just finished designing my invitation insert which I'll be getting in full colour from vistaprint and then either put it on some backing card to frame it or put it inside a wardrobe/gatefold card.

I am looking at Vista print now, never thought of doing invites this way, what do I have to watch out for to avoid??

My invites are the large postcards.

One side has the normal details, ceremony time, venue etc and the back has the rsvp details.

They look lovely, i'll try and post a pic of one later and the save the date magnet too to give you some idea.

Franny its just loads of options that pop up, just make sure they are all unticked, they are anyway but still check.

Have a look and a play around. Register with them first as you'll get an email sent straight to you with offers on.

Also you can play around and it will save everything so you can come back later/change your mind etc x

Shellsuit - yours look really classy and I love the font you've written them in.

I'm waiting on my Save The Date postcards

I also ordered envelopes for them to go in and self addisive address labels for my invites so they know where to RSVP

Hi there,

Just a quick question for those who have used vistaprint in the past. Are you able to order the free business cards more than once or is it a one-off offer? I mean if I wanted to order some now and some later would both lots be free?

Hope that makes sense!

Just got my save the date magnets and my invitations ... I ordered way too many though, as I forgot that I don't need to give save the dates to people just invited to the evening ~ doh!

Might still be worth sending out if you have them anyway - I work 12-hour shifts (three-on, three-off, including weekends, bank holidays, nights and even Christmas day!), normally finishing at 10pm in London plus a 90-minute train ride home.

I know not many people will be in my situation but bear in mind if people do commute quite far to work, even if they finish at 5:30 they may not be home until 6:30 or 7:00, then they have to get changed/made up, then get to the venue - it might be worth letting them know so they can book, say, the afternoon (and/or the morning after) off as leave.
