Making own Invitations ....Help Please

I am trying to make my own invitations for my boys bday...

I created the invitation in powerpoint using text boxes and clip art. In powerpoint it looks great but when uploaded to vistaprint it is telling me low resolution and it looks like crap...Please advise on how I can increase resolution since it is not a picture....

I need these to go out today....

TIA

when your exporting it your using probably a bad setting. You should export to (whatever file format they allow TIFF, PDF, JPG) as high quality, 300 dpi, print ready, etc.

However to tack onto this - if the clip art you used is already at a low resolution and you're trying to use the clip art in an enlarged state that won't work.

The artwork needs to be at around 150-200 dpi for it to be print ready.

Thanks ladies...I changed the print quality and it looks SO much better....the clip art didnt look so bad originally but the font was horrible and the font was from powerpoint not a downloaded one..
