Baby Showers

Shower Invites??

My mom and sister are planning my shower and have asked me where would be the best place to get invites from. I?ve been planning on doing baby announcements once he is here so I?ve been on Snapfish, Shutterfly, and Mixbook looking at announcements but I haven?t ordered from any of these companies yet. So I'm very unsure of quality and shipping time.

So I was wondering does anyone have any ideas of quality, cost, shipping (cost & time) about any of these companies? Or any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

  • I love shutterfly, and they are always running specials/sales.

  • I've used Vista Print before and the prices are very reasonable.  They do take a few days to process thought.  Shutterfly is much faster.
  • I've designed and uploaded invites to Vistaprint - they do take a little while to process, but the quality is good and you can always find a deal/coupon code through that website.  I've never ordered one of their designs though. 

    tinyprints.com also has cute invites - I've worked with them and they were awesome about changing colors, etc.  Prices weren't too bad and I received them in a reasonable time.  And if you search etsy.com there are some good ones there, too.

  • My hostesses got mine at Storkie.com...They were super cute and I have already received tons of praise on them.  I also used them to order my TY notes.  I think they are about on par pricewise with some of the other sites I've seen.
  • I use snapfish for photo postcards, calendars, etc, but my shower invites were from TinyPrints. There were so many cute options for my sister to choose from.  I liked what she showed me so much, that I started an account to get my announcements, etc, from there.  Seemed mid-range on price as well.
  • I love shutterfly & tiny prints!!

  • I usually design my own and use overnightprints.com or vistaprint.com to print them.  Gotta pre-plan though since it takes time to get them in.  Just make sure you know what size you're going for if you design your own.
  • I often have invitations for different things designed on etsy and use vistaprint to have them printed. I get them printed on the oversize postcard. The always have a special on there postcards 50 for free. So I usually just have to pay for shipping and to upload the design. 

  • My SIL ordered my shower invites from Shutterfly.  They turned out really cute.  Another place to try is Zazzle.com  We ordered the invites for my mom's 60th birthday party and my sister ordered her wedding invites from them.  The quality was great and prices weren't bad.  Not sure if you can put pictures on their cards or not though.  I think you can but what we ordered didn't have that option.

  • Shutterfly, always been good to me.... No complaints. Takes about a week or two for arrival, depending on what you've ordered. But they are awesome.
