Vistaprint - upload your own design - anyone done this?

Hello

I plan to use vistaprint for my wedding invites as i think they are fantastic value. The only problem is I cant really see any of the standard invite templates that i like in my colour scheme.

Has anyone created their own and uploaded it to vista print? if so can you tell me how you did this and a flash if you have it?

Thanks Guys

    I uploaded my own design for our save-the-dates:


    They needed an extra-big border so I could place them precisely as I couldn't get the guides to download!

    But it was really easy, I used GIMP to make them then just uploaded and away we were. I think Vista charges you extra to upload your own image on some items but it's not more than a couple of quid.

    We haven't yet but we certainly intend to as my OH is a cartoonist so this was the route we were looking at also!

    FutureMrsJ - Where did you get the image from? I have heard of GIMP so might give that a go. I tried in paint ? but the quality is too low.

    I can't remember. I know I stole it from somewhere! Think it was loveandlavender.com maybe? Then I got the picture of the orchids off Google and turned them blue to fit in.

    We uploaded our own design for our save the dates - did it in Word, set the document up to match Vistaprint postcard sizes, designed and formatted it all then saved it as a PDF I think and uploaded it.


    Ignore the blue border, that's not there, I've just snipped the image from Word to flash!

    Hi all - this is my first post ?

    you could also try moo - http://uk.moo.com/ - i use them all the time for my business and personal printing - i esp. love the stickers - so cute... also the mini cards would be perfect for name places

    they sent me a 30% off code if anyone wants to utilize -- NHVPYC

    hope this is helps

    xx

    If you don't find what you're looking for, I do a budget invitation on either cream or white card (290gsm) which is printed with all your personal details and the border can be in whatever colour you like. It also includes a perforated RSVP card. Details are on my website.
