Another Announcement Question with pic - THANK YOU BARB!!!

Barb was amazing and put together this unbelieveable announcement for us - but now I am wondering where I should order them from.

For those of you who went to Costco - do you get envelopes there? Does BJs do this also?

Can I order it through one of the photo websites like Winkflash - and if so - do I order them as if they are a regular picture - or do I somehow order them as an announcement with envelopes?

Sorry - I am clueless when it comes to this stuff!

I ordered thru winkflash cause they are on sale. I ordered as an announcement but theres a spot that says " no border, use only my picture" and you upload it as a picture and use that , that way the envelopes come with them. they were only 23 cents before 7-30.

OK - I am going to try this - be prepared for LOTS of Fms soon! Chat Icon

ETA: Did you do Glossy or Matte? Which is better? Glossy right?

Beautiful announcement.

I've always liked matte finish over glossy.

Thanks for the compliments - Diana did the hardest part though (10+ months worthChat Icon )

Stef - yes photoshop.

Diana - I fixed the "&" problem & send you a message re: the comma. I'll resend once you get it.

I know someone I did used a matte finish (which I do think looks better for announcements). I bought my envelopes at Staples.

I have used cardstore.com a bunch of times. I think the quality is a lot better than snapfish and the other sites. the cardstock is nice and thick.

Looks great!

Costco.

Lustre finish... there is no matte but it looks like that.

Envelopes 5 3/4 X 8 3/4 from Staples.

Even though some of the other sites were cheaper per 5 X 7 then there was the shipping charge which made the total even more expensive than Costco, depending upon how many you are ordering.

Another advantage of Costco was that they were ready the same day.

We bought the envelopes and Staples (the size mentioned above) and printed them ourselves. We triedt o get them printed somehwere but they can out terribly, so I printed and cut them all myself. Didnt' take as long as I thought it would either....
