Printing up invitations

So many of you ladies have done holiday cards and invitations on Photoshop and then had them printed so i figured i'd ask you all this question....

....Who prints up photos on the thickest, highest quality paper? Snapfish, winkflash....?

TIA!

I like Costco. My girlfriend had hers done from Winkflash & they were fine - plus at the time they were offering envelopes.

If you're looking for thicker stock, I think mpix.com is supposed to be good but I haven't tried it.

Make sure you don't select the option to have the autocorrect color or anything else - no borders, etc. I've had a pink background autocorrected to pinkish-purple before.

I've ordered photo cards from Winkflash, Sam's Club, and Walmart and I've found they're all pretty much the same. I've also ordered cards from mpix printed on card stock that were definitley much better quality. They look really nice when printed on card stock vs. photo paper. The only thing to know with mpix is that when you create the image in Photoshop you have to add in extra space (I think and extra 1/8 inch on each side) to account for bleed. So if you want a 5x7 card you would need to create a photoshop image that is 5.25x7.25 so it will be cropped properly. You also have to download the mpix software in order to upload your image.
