My DIY menus, programs, luggage tags, door hangers, postcards, thank yous

see post #38

hmmm....I got them shipped to my friend in NY who brought them to me when she came to ON in August. I have seen them in Staples but they were more expensive. How many do you need? I ordered way too many and was planning on selling them on here after the wedding when I will have tons of extras to get rid of, but if our numbers line up I could sell them to you - where in Canada are you? I'll count them up tonight to see how many I have - it is at least 30, probably closer to 50....

I was looking at getting about 50, I ordered 100 business cards. I did look online at Office Deopt and if they are the same price online as in the store then they are only about $13.00 for 25. I'll check it out and let you know Thanks again!!

Good ideas!! I'm really going to miss VistaPrint when the wedding is over Not sure how I will occupy my time at work any longer haha.

Wow, that all came out so great!! I never would have thought of Vistaprint before seeing this forum, but that do such great work!! I think I am going to look into it!! I love the postcards, that's such a cute idea, i may steal it, if you don't mind!!!

And feel free to PM me with any q's!! Kate

Yep, just let me know...I have a pack of 50 left over

Do you have a template for the door hangers??

No, sorry!! I used the brochure template on Vistaprint for them, so I built them right in VP.

I started with a blank brochure template, then I put in a black background, then added the text box and the Mexican themed artsy thing at the bottom (one of VP's stock photos). I copied this to all three panels of the front of the brochure, and then did the same process on the back. We got 25 brochures (they come in batches of 25), so we have 75 door hangers. It was pretty easy if you've worked in VP before.

Steve took them to work to cut them and run them through the laminator. If you can laminate them, they are a little stiffer and will likely hold up through travel, etc, a bit better; however, the brochure paper was surprisingly sturdy so I wouldn't say it is necessary.

I hope that helps....you , I think Becks posted a door hanger template that you could print on your own if you search for hers....I got the "No Molesta" idea from Kate (LALA), but I'm not sure if she ever posted a template.

Thanks, I think I'm going to give it a try myself!
