    Morning everyone!
    I have seen on here people talk about Vistaprint a few times - so I thought I'd have a look for our stationery as we have a really tight budget for all the invites etc....
    Anyway - I tried the 'free postcard' thing - but it ended up being £14 for 100 plus £8 delivery, add to that the cost of stamps and envelopes and it ends up costing about £40.
    We only need about 50 save the dates as we're only doing one per household - anyone have any cheap ideas?
    Thanks!

    I got the magnetic ones for £4.99 for 25.

    If I hadn't got them I would have printed them myself on the computer. Most people lose them anyway or stick them in a drawer so there is no point in spending loads of money on them.

    I made 100 save the dates, I brought A4 card for hobbycraft for £4.99 printed them myself and stuck little crystals over the date which I got for like 99 p ( my save the date was aboxed calender and the diamond covered the actual date)!!

    If you shop around you can find really cheap deals!!

    Vista is brilliant but yo do have to search for the cheaper ones!! As some are more expensive on there!! xx

    Thanks for all of the suggestions.

    Linzi - did you have a special code or something? I really don't know how mine ended up being so expensive!

    I think I am going to end up making them myself - just not very creative so not sure where to start! Don't want them to look rubbish - and like I just printed a word document of the computer!

    Molly, sounds to me like you didnt use the free link. You've done it from scratch. It would never be that much and theres discounts galore for that site. its just delivery and VAT you need to pay for.
