soooo borrowing your t-shirt idea!!!!

[McLecker]

OMG. Me too! This is an awesome idea! Super creative. How is everyone getting these vistaprint coupons btw?

[Ploman]

if you sign up for their emails then they send you discounts about once a week. When I did that it took several weeks to get a coupon email, and I think that I only got them because I finally ordered something before getting any emails. 

 

Retail-me-not has coupon codes that I've used successfully before: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/vistaprint.com

 

Otherwise keep your eyes out for Groupons. Brides post them on here quite often. They normally give you 30% off plus the value of the groupon (pay $17, get $70 worth of product). 

 

Good luck! 

[McLecker]

Awesome - thanks for the tips!! Will give it all a try

[McLecker]

How did you figure out how to create such cool t-shirts. I'd love to order some like yours - I clearly need some training on vista print!!~!!

Groupon has the $17 for $70 worth of items going on now. I got one yesterday.

I went to 'Create a custom T-Shirt' (or wherever you go to start making a t-shirt), then it brings you to a place to chose a design.

 

I chose the most basic design, it looks like this:

 

 

 

Then at the top of the page hit 'Get more customization options":

 

 

 

 

Once you hit that, you can change the font, the font size, the font colour, and direction of font. Unfortunately you have to do that one 'text box' at a time (for each line).

 

If you want to add an image, hit the "Image" box under "Insert". 

 

If you hit "Chose File" then it will take you to your computer to upload something (such as your custom monogram etc). This will cost around $3.50, but only a one time cost for however many shirts you order (and if you have a coupon code then it will be discounted).

 

If you want free images, which is what I used, then hit "Search our Image Library" (under Next Steps, below "Chose file".

 

Here, you can search by keyword. For example, if you search "Sun" then you will get 14 pages of 'suns' that you can chose. 

 

You can then crop and rotate the picture. Once it is in the T-Shirt design area, you can move it around, stretch or shrink it, etc. 

 

If you hit "insert text" then you can add more word lines. 

 

 

That's about all I did hehe. Good luck!

Wow. Amazing. Thank you very much. This is all so new so I REALLY appreciate the guide. I think those shirts are so funny and will be a hit. Well done you!

i love these ideas. i went to a destination wedding in san diego last weekend where they had a bocci ball tournament, and it was a great way for everyone to get to know each other -- think that might be too heavy for my bags to mexico though!
