Hey girls! I was hoping you can give me some tips for save the date card post cards. I'm on a budget and don't want to spend over $50 for about 75-100 postcards. I was thinking of making a design and printing it out on vistaprint but I'm kind of confused how it works in terms of making the back side of the post card. I'm thinking of getting a design on etsy and then using vistaprint.
Any insight?

I designed mine and printed them on zazzle (they just happened to have a better sale that day than vistaprint). For my invitations I'm considering buying something from etsy and printing on vistaprint (or wherever is having the best sale, lol). I was happy with the quality from zazzle. Pic in my album.

I spent less than that for 100 magnets from vistaprint. Look for deals on groupon or other sites online. They were great quality.

Go to retailmenot and put vistaprint in search bar. 50 percent off should pop up and go through site that way. It's a great deal and good quality

I did mine on shutterfly for $60 and I ordered 175. Look for sales, they shouldn't be too bad.

I designed mine on vistaprint and had a group! I ended up spending around $50 when all was said and done for about $250 postcards! Great deal!!

Keep an eye out for sales for sure! We made our Christmas Card Post Cards on Vista Print for $5! (for 100) when they had a big sale. Also you should be able to select the post card format and upload any photo you like to the front while keeping the back postcard-y (we added our return address and the spot for us to add guests address)

I printed mine myself. My coworker who is a graphic designer created them and we printed them out on card stock that I purchased. Kinkos also prints for you

I got mine from zazzle. There was a sale - 75% off, so for 80 I paid about $25. But if you order more than 50, there is a 20-40% discount. Everyone loved it - it was a simple picture.

Thanks for all the tips girls! I ended up getting a custom design from someone on etsy which was only $25 and I plan on printing them out in Vistaprint since they are having an awesome sale! 100/$15 Super excited

FH bought the design from etsy and printed them out on scrapbook paper from AC Moore. We glued that to a slightly larger scrapbook sheet in a different color and printed the envelopes with a pretty, wedding type font on his printer. Came out Great!! Cost was under $50. Good luck.

For anyone else reading this, I also recommend Staples! I'm getting ours from there and I love them.
I think they use the same site as Vistaprint for the design, but one really nice thing about Staples is that you can go to the store and just get a proof right there -- as you're standing there -- and approve/reject it. Super convenient!

Hey girls! Sorry for the late repost, the coupon was automatically put in when i went on the website, but just in case its : VPTOP25.
here's the link i went to: http://www.vistaprint.com/postcards.aspx?txi=16628&xnid=TopNav_Postcards_Marketing+Products&xnav=TopNav
You can either pick a design, or upload your own. It's even cheaper if you don't need the back of your postcard to be printed in color.
hope this helps!
