Where to make invites?

I want to make a picture invite for DS's birthday, but not sure where to do it.  I looked on Shutterfly and there wasn't anything there that really jumped out at me.  I want something different- something that I can completely create.  Anyone know where I can do this?

You create it, save it, then go to File, export as a jpeg, then you can upload to any photo print shop and have them printed.  Just an FYI, they print better as a 5x7 than a 4x6.

Thanks for the info.  Is it pretty easy to create one?  Where have you had them printed?  I use to go to Target, but I don't like the new paper that they are using so I haven't been printing any pictures.

I use scrapblog and snapfish.

here's the one I made with scrapblog.  It was easy, cheap and I have gotten alot of positive comments about it.  I used snapfish, then bought envelopes online to fit the prints.

Question for those of you who have printed 5x7 with scrapblog... did the pictures turn out a bit fuzzy (low pixel)? I did that for our Xmas cards and while the actual scrapblog images/designs were crisp, the photos I had on there ended up looking like they were too low resolution for the size.. I had 3 pictures on there, so it wasn't like they were huge or anything, and I used my Canon Rebel Xsi on high res... Did I do something wrong? Or does scrapblog resize the pictures on purpose so you wouldn't want to print elsewhere but with them?

I've found the scrapblog stuff really fuzzy too, so much that I hesitate to use them for cards.

Someone suggested Vistaprint as a good location to create a card, but I haven't checked it out yet.

As for printing up photos, we use Costco and love the results.

I found with scrapblog that it depends on where you have them printed.  The 5x7s I printed at Walgreens were really fuzzy, but the ones I printed at Wolf Camera were very clear.

I have never had a problem printing any 5x7 invites/cards from scrapblog and have used snapfish and shutterly to print with. I will say that myt one hour Christmas proof came out with a more vibrant color than the ones I mailed order but they all came out great.

I have learned through mistakes though to crop my 5x7 before placing my order. I always had images of center, until I learned to crop through the photo site.
