Help....need advice with STDs (updated- PIC in album)

My invitations and save the date cards are making me nuts. My brother designed amazing save the date cards for me, but beyond having to buy an expensive laser printer, I don't know how I would print them and get the look that I really want. Does anyone know of any printing companies that I can actually go to and give them my files for printing???? It's so hard to print certain things through online companies....unless its a template they have already created. I even went to something simple like Staples and they said they will not print onto cardstock. I wanted to hurt the woman there because I know they will do something heavier then simple paper.....she was just driving me nuts.

My colors are pink/brown/ivory. The border is brown then the main card would be in pink...the problem is that he has our monogram in ivory coming through in the background the the writing in brown over the monogram. I can't post a picture because i only have a pdf of the file.

I didn't think this would be such a hard task.....

update: finally got a picture in my album. On the back of the card i want to have the accommodations so there is only one thing mailed.

you can do it as a print screen and show it to us that way. We have the same colors, you can try using ivory paper over the pink and do your printing on that. Also, I believe kinko's and staple's has printing services

ETA: here is the pic, I was able to fix it a little bit for you and resize it. I really like it the way it is, I think it looks great.

yea you would do ivory paper - the print it out. Just bring your files to a kinkos or staples or even a local small print shop.

definitely prefer kinkos to staples - the quality difference is astounding and the price difference is not much.

staples totally messed up our directional cards - kinkos ones - came out PERFECTLY!

If i do a print screen of the pdf file how do i save it so that i can upload onto liweddings? Sorry computers are not my thing when it comes to converting files.

I guess i could change my colors and the do ivory cardstock and print the M in pink with the brown writing...or black writing.

are you printing them like postcards? if so, www.printsmadeeasy.com was super, well, easy to use. we uploaded our own pdfs and got them in a few days with excellent quality. You can print on the back as well for the same charge (around 30 for 100 pieces)

i've had kinkos mess up SO many projects its not even funny (like my programs where the staples weren't in the fold but randomly in the middle of a page ***?)

Also, if you buy a laser printer it will pay for itself in no-time with all the DIY stuff you can print, seriously consider this option.

you can go to vistaprint. com and upload it as your own file and make whatever you want
postcards, magnets, thank you cards, etc.
