1st Birthday Crisis! HELP, the invites are a disaster...

Agggh! My DS' 1st bday is October 2nd and I have no invites Chat Icon

I ordered a digital invite from Etsy and the guy took forever to get it to me, lots of back and forth (since 8/22) bc of his carelessness and now that i had a sample printed at the print shop, I hate it!!!!! Chat Icon I do NOT want to send it out.

But it's Sept 7th already and the bday is in 3 weeks. What do I do? I made up an invite on shutterfly but the soonest it will get to me is Sept. 13th w/ overnight shipping.

Do I have any options or am i doomed to send out an invite i hate?

I am not sure you are able to do this but maybe you can send around a paperless invite through email, but again not sure everyone has an email address that you can send it to. This is the website that i've seen used a few times...

Can you print it any quicker at Target, Walmart or Walgreens?
That way you can pick it up vs. shipping?

also try vistaprint. They usually get things to you fast, plus they are cheap.

For DS's 1st I did invites myself. Quick, cheap and fast.

You can have one designed today and have it uploaded to Costco and pick it up today.
Let me know if you need help with designing one.

ditto..

you can do it at CVS and Walgreens as well.. and if you open up a new account, you usually get a certain number of prints (CVS is 50) for FREE.

I think if you go to Target's website they are affiliated with Shutterfly and I think you can create in Shutterfly and pick up in store.

I actually was way behind on my invites and ended up buying blank ones from Target and printing them on my computer.

Thanks to everyone who has posted with options for me, I was ready to lose it.

It's times like this when I am reminded of why I love this board and how kind and giving people can be Chat Icon

I just ordered mine from Party City and they were not expensive. And, they were ready the next morning.

Also, if you order on Snapfish you can have them printed at a local wallgreens. They would be ready in an hour.
