On September 19th, I was finally ready to submit my order for my invitations. At this point I was already aware that Vista Print was a lot cheaper than Shutterfly which is why I decided to go with them. Plus the fact that their interface was a lot more user friendly when it comes to uploading your own designs. After I placed the order I received an order number and a confirmation email.
Prior to giving out any information to business for your wedding samples make sure you create a designated email address. The last thing you want is to have your primary email clogged up with a bunch of ads and solicitations. At this point in planning I am getting emails from businesses I never reached out to so do not skip this step thinking it won’t happen to you. All the companies listed below are ones that I reached out to for samples: none of them require you to pay for shipping either. There are companies that will advertise “free samples” and require you to pay to ship them so tread cautiously.
