Vistaprint freebie ideas

*Jellie*

Have just ordered business cards as save the date cards. Does anyone know where to get cheap envelopes that are the right size?

Just been having a little nosey at the vistaprint site, on their 'home and family' part there is a free bumper sticker - they have a heart design so thought it might be sweet to make a Just Married sticker for the back of the car!!!

I think it says it's about £2 postage, haven't looked properly yet.

I ordered the business cards for slow postage last Friday, they arrived yesterday we're using some of the extras as last minute invites for extra evening people!

Is it to mail? Its not advisable to post something that small in the mail as it can go missing quite easily.
I got the magnets that size for STD and then put them inside a card. It looked quite nice, I just put a couple of slits in the corner to hold the edges of the magnet IYSWIM?

Last week I ordered myself a t-shirt (with Mrs X and the date on the front) which I'll wear to breakfast in the hotel the morning after the wedding.

I ordered myself a mug with Mrs X on it.

I ordered myself a cotton bag which I'll use on honeymoon to throw my purse and camera etc in

I ordered some business cards, with our names, the date and 'thank you for sharing our special day' on them. The back is blank, and will come in handy for any singles who might need something to write a phone number on lol



This morning I just ordered my daughter a mug, which says "X, thank you for being our bridesmaid!x"

I ordered her a bag with BRIDESMAID 2010 on it

I ordered her a t shirt with BRIDESMAID 2010 on it

And I ordered a banner, with mine and OH's names on it and the date of our wedding, which we'll get the venue to hang somewhere.


All that cost me about a tenner in postage (2 lots of a fiver), which is a bargain for all that personalised stuff!


Just waiting for the next freebie email now lol

shellsuit - i love the idea of the bridesmaids mugs - do i just need to be patient and wait for them to send me a thing about free mugs, or is there a way of getting them that i haven't yet worked out? xx

Thanks- maybe I'll look at using larger envelopes than the cards. It will make it much easier!

Have a look at any email they send to you, as the offers vary.

Only thing is, you wouldn't be able to order say 4 in one order, as you can only order 4 items free and 1 of each.

So you can't order 4 free mugs, but you can order 1 free mug, 1 pen, 1 pack of invites and 1 lawn sign (for example)

Then when you get another offer mail you can order the same again ~ hope that makes sense lol! xx

so much for having to be patient to get stuff - i signed up on sunday and i've already had an email with loads of stuff free including the mug and magnets which were what i had my eye on!!

i've been messing with the magnets tonight trying to find one that works - we want some to give as part of thankyou presents to people who have helped out. it is completely doing my head in because every time i find one i like and fill it in etc, it says that one costs £8! i can't find any reason for some of them charging and not others, and i can't see a way of finding out without going through the whole thing first.

can anyone help me? am i being really thick? some of them are also asking for £3.50 for uploading a picture, but then others don't. really confused, OH has completely lost interest after the first 5 options i've shown him are saying they cost! aggggggggghhhh!!! help me!!!
