Re: Ordering Invitations Online?

I ordered my e-vites from

Now & Forever

They came out wonderful, and since i spell my name the non popular way (Michele with one 'L') it was spelled wrong and they immediately redid them and had them overnighted.

We used Rexcraft.com for our invitations and they came out beautifully. Many of our guests complimented us on them.

Customer service is excellent in answering questions or problems.

Good luck,
Donna

Re: Ordering Invitations Online?

I had a very bad experience with Rexcraft. FM me for more info.

I ended up using http://www.commercemarketplace.com/home/uptown/ . Someone on here (sorry I forgot who) recomended this site to me. To pay you have to give your credit cvard number over the phone (they don't accept payment online). The invitations came out PERFECT and arrived in 7 days. Plus they were 35% off

Re: Ordering Invitations Online?

we used paperelegance the invitations were absolutely stunning and a LOT cheaper than they would have been had we gotten them anywhere else.

The only thing was that they didn't send us any extra envelopes or anything.

Best of Luck!

Re: Ordering Invitations Online?

If you don't want custom design invites then ordering online is fine. I had my invites custom designed and it was like pulling teeth. If I had it to do over again, I would definitely choose someone local so I could go through the books and choose my paper stock, see all their samples in person and have the face to face interaction.

Re: Ordering Invitations Online?

I was about to do that, and then I found a woman who does them for almost the same price. I just felt more comfortable dealing with a human being rather than a website. Her name is Shelly Silver and she was a caterer for about 20 something years, and now she is party planning. FM if you want her number.

Re: Ordering Invitations Online?

I used fine stationary. the only problem I had is that the preveiew wasn't clear, so I was sort of taking a gamble, but thay came quickly & look good, and customer service was helpful when I had a question.
