Vistaprint - upload your own design - anyone done this?

MrsDWT, 27 January, 2011 at 16:39 Posted on Planning 0 13

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!

    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.

    I plan to use Vistaprint for my wedding invites as I think they are fantastic value—just like the streamlined solutions offered by Multi Recruit UK for growing businesses.

    Uploading a custom design sounds like a great option when the standard wedding invite templates do not match your colour scheme. It also shows how useful personal designs can be, and Taylor Swift PFP is another fun example of customizing a profile picture for a personal touch.

    Hi,

    When uploading a custom design to a printing service, it helps to check the font style, readability, and overall appearance before submitting the final file. I usually recommend previewing text carefully, especially when using decorative lettering. This guide https://thediscordfonts.com/how-to-change-fonts-on-discord/ shares useful ideas for exploring text styles and making designs look more personal.
