Vistaprint freebie ideas

Some of the magnets are ones You need to pay for. I found before that to get the the free offers you need to click on the link from the email rather than finding the item on the site. I have been known to have 4 Internet windows open at the same time to get the offers otherwise they won't go through!

Thanks kazz.. i've spent all evening trying to find ones that are free! there seems to be no pattern to which ones are free (with the exception of all the ones i like being NOT free lol). like you, i'd noticed that it only gives them free if you come from the email, but it also seems that some of them just aren't!

i've finally found some that i like, that are free. ordered magnets, notecards and a mug for a fiver postage

I've had postcards from them which we're using for our RSVP's - had them made up with our address on the back, can/can't come tick boxes and a "place stamp here" little box thingy in the corner. So impressed with them - they look really professional.

Also got 250 business cards in our colour scheme, pretty much blank but with "thank you for celebrating with us" at the top which I'm going to write (or maybe print somehow) people's names on and use as place cards on the reception tables. Only having about 120 guests so might use the leftover ones on our favours or something as well.

It hasn't been mentioned but I assume people know you can also go through TopCashBack for Vista Print? I spent £5.07 on postage for all the above, the actual cards etc being free after they sent me one of their offers emails, but got £5 cash back so actual cost 7p :j Still waiting for it to be paid after quite a few weeks, but the £5 has tracked through and been confirmed so just have to be patient.

Ooh, after reading your posts earlier I really liked the idea of t-shirts for OH and I to wear the morning after the wedding for a bit of fun. They have some pretty cool "bride" and "groom" ones which I like, but I just realised that recently my emails from Vista Print seem to have stopped for some reason. Going to try and sign up again for their updates or something similar, but was just wondering whether there is a chance of actually getting the t-shirts for free or not? And would I have to only get 1 per order - I'd want one regular t-shirt and one ladies' one?

kazz, i've had two emails with free tshirts on in the last week, so yep definitely a possibility! free mugs too! lol x

Vikki, you can only have 1 free item in each order, so if you wanted 2 tshirts, you'd have to have 2 emails each with a free tshirt on them, so 2 orders I'm afraid!

I just ordered the mens ones, one for me and one for my daughter, in different sizes though of course lol

They'll probably only be worn once and then used for bed at home!

i've had an offer for ladies tshirts.. it just came up as 'free tshirt' then asked if you wanted mens or womens later on.

I use Vistaprint a lot and have never had any problems at all.

We got married 3 weeks ago and used the oversized postcards as invitations....even adding a picture of our choice on the front and a photo of us in black and white on the back. All free via email offer. We did buy the envelopes and paid extra for quicker delivery, but it all came in at around £16. Not bad for highly personalised invites eh?

We're going to do the same for our thank yous too using a photo of us on our special day on the reverse...that way people have a frameable keepsake too.

Good luck to you xxx
