Help with inserts for my invitations

KLC77 · 08-12-2008, 10:11 PM

I need help (what else is new lol). I have to make two inserts for my pocketfold invitations~ One with the resort and travel agent info and one with a tentative itinerary. How the heck do I go about having these printed up? Can I just go into Staples and tell them what I need done? Do I have to make them up on my computer at home first? I would attempt printing them at home, but I figure the with cost of buying ink and getting the paper to the right size, its easier if I just have someone else do it. I'm so challenged with this stuff its not even funny.

So, how do I get this done?
These are my invites...

And I might like to add our logo at the top...

IMO if you do not want the hassle of printing them yourself, have Staples or Kinkos print them, but if you can design the layout yourself do that, Im not sure Kinkos or Staples offers that or even if they do what it would cost.

So, if I do it in word on my computer I can take that to Staples and they will handle the printing? If it was on regular size paper I would probably just print them myself, but I have no idea how to get paper that is the right size or how to get my printer to print on diff size paper, so probably easier for me to have someone who knows what they're doing do it. I laugh at how challenged I am when it comes to this stuff.

Yes, if you do it in word on your computer, they should be able to print it, just design the size you need them to be on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper and the should also be able to cut them down to the size you need.

I had four inserts plus the invite itself which were all custom sizes. I created each one in Publisher and then brought the files to a local printer (not a Staples/Kinkos, just an independent printer) and gave them the finished dimensions for each insert. I also printed/cut out 1 sample set myself to give them for reference. They printed and cut each one to size & I think it cost me around $250 total for 150 invites. I felt that it was worth the cost to save me the hassle.
