Just had to tell, I have spent an absolute fortune this morning. I have been on the bay of e and ordered my favour bags. I have also been on vistaprint, and ordered my Wedding Invitations, RSVP cards and some other stationary, it's come to over £110.00 for the Vistaprint stuff, there the only place I could find with Carnival or Fun Fair themed stuff that I could actually afford.
I just want them to hurry up and come now, so I can check them out. xx

CommentAuthorWeeMintyMonkie
Yeh!!!
Im swaying between vista print or spending that little extra to get ones that go with my theme better!!! X x x

Vistaprint have so much stuff, to choose from. The ones we've got literally jumped of the page, I've ordered them in 3 different colours. Blue, Black and Red, so they all stand out, gonna order the rest of my stuff from there as well. xx

They say it will be around about 15 days on snail mail, we are having to buy everything bit by bit you see, so that we can afford, because neither of us are working. Mark has to ferry me backwards and forwards to hospital a lot, so he is unable to get a job, because of the time off he needs. So were having to do it bit by bit, on what we can. Were determined to have our dream wedding though. xx

Chris isnt working at the moment either so im buying what i can now and once weve saved enough for deposits we will book a date!! Thats when i will be getting my invitations. The vista print ones i want are around 160. But there are ones i have seen else where that go with my theme better. Purple with butterflies!! They are nearly twice as much. If i can save enough and get as much discount on everything else as possible i will go for the more expensive just coz they tie in better with my theme. If not the vista print ones will be my choice. Unless the come.up with a butterfly type one before i order!!!

You can design your own on VP but also a budgeting tip for them. If you buy some things they will keep on sending you promotional codes or special offers and these can really save you money. I bought my magnets from them then got 10 free "invitation" cards that I changed to thank you cards for the BM's etc. I ordered my evening invites but got them half price with patterned envelopes and again used the same design but changed the fonts/wording etc so it looks more expensive. Then got 100 FOC address labels that I have in our married name/ "hand made" labels to go on the back of the day invitations I have made. Saved over £50 doing it bit by bit, also got my UKBride T-shirt made by them and it just cost the p&p.

Oh wow!! They are all amazing, I have looked everywhere for fun fair themed invitations and these were the best by far, I just have to hope my mates who are providing the fair rides at the reception don't change there minds. xx

We're planning on getting ours from Vista Print, I'd order them now but as we're hoping to move before the wedding there doesn't seem to be much point yet...
Very exciting though and I can wait to see them! :-) xx
CommentAuthorIgnition
Yeah, as soon as I get everything I will post pics, I have got all plain envelopes with them, didn't see the point of getting matching, when they only get ripped up. xx

I know what you mean, but I really like our matching ones - have convinced h2b that we should have them - even trying to persuade him to get the security writing on the inside!! Just for the invites, not for save the dates or anything xx
CommentAuthorloubyscooby
I had the security writing inside to and nearly everyone commented on it - its all down to preference really.
CommentAuthorIgnition
Yeah, I've had that, just the Vistaprint one. Didn't want to pay for it. Not being stingy, just can't afford that. xx

I didnt like anything on vistaprint to be honest their was about 83 pages of stuff and i got bored of looking through them all!
Tried a different website called the card gallery and found my perfect one's straight away! I was looking for save the dates and they also do full invitations, menus, place cards etc all in the same theme!!!! I am made up going to put my order in tonight when i get home from work....got to let H2B read them first for his approval (although approval or not they are getting ordered haha!!) xx

I just need to sort my Order Of Service and a table plan now. So might check that out. Th ones I wanted on Vistprint were first page, so it was easy. xx

I've used them for save the dates and RSVP's both slightly different but because of their deals only paid for postage, all fit in my butterflies theme though!
