Well, here's the real thing! I had a little photoshoot with it.
Here's a look at it all together. I used A Giftful Heart to make the magnet, which I actually designed myself in Microsoft Publisher. I designed the postcard in Publisher as well, and ordered it through Vistaprint.
Here are the different pieces taken all apart:
The envelopes also came from A Giftful Heart.
Here's what happens when I decide to play with angles!
Here's my input on ordering . . .
Vistaprint is very cheap and they run great deals! If you're even thinking about doing anything with paper goods, I recommend using them. Once I got engaged, I immediately signed up for their email alerts. They have discounts and coupons a few times a week, and being on the list allowed me to pay only shipping for 100 postcards. I paid a little over $10.00 for the postcard.
The quality might not have been the fanciest and the best, but the postcard was exactly what I needed it to be and I was very happy with it. Plus, they have fast shipping. I got these puppies in the mail in about a week.
I really liked using A Giftful Heart. Their prices were pretty fair and in my opinion, they had the best size magenets that I could find. The only other options I could find elsewhere for cheaper was 1" x 3" or 4" x 6", which for me was too big and too small.
They have already made designs that you can plug your photo or information into, they also sell postcards to correspond with the magnets and envelopes. I like to do things difficult, so I bypassed their designs and emailed their customer service to ask if they could use my design.
I got an immediate response and they were willing to work with me. I felt like their customer service was great, I always heard back from them within a few hours of emailing and they always answered my questions clearly. I also had an option to see a physical proof of my magnet, which was great. They sent it priority and when I approved the proof, they immediately went into production. The final product was also sent priority.
The magnet was great, it had a glossy finish, which I really liked and the envelopes were beautiful.
I was very happy with both companies and I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
What do you think about my save the dates?
