| Can anyone recommend a good printer/website. I've designed my own invitations and I want them printed - not glossy like a photograph - but on nice thick paper, definitely matte, possibly linen finish. I've found plenty of websites that offer invitations, but none that allow you to upload your own design. It also has to be 5 in by 7 in. Thanks if anyone knows of anyone, I'd appreciate the advice. |

| Thanks, yes I had already checked them out and they looked good. I couldn't see that they offered the 5 in by 7 in size that I need, though. |

MpixPRESS has 5x7 heavy paper, linen finish. ~$12-$20 per set of 24 (lower price per set the more sets you buy in one order).

I use Winkflash for all of my 5x7" wedding invitations.
Why? Because my customers are often ordering 400 to 600 invitations. And when you're talking that many invitations, every penny saved is a bonus (which, by the way, I pass on to my customers!). Ordering 600 5x7" invitations will cost only $150 plus shipping. And even the shipping cost is reasonable.
I'd prefer heavier paper. I'd a prefer Lustre finish (Winkflash only does Matte or Glossy so I go with Matte). But when I can save that much money for my customers, it's a real advantage. I talk to them about it. I show them examples (I custom design all of my invitations using Fotofusion). I've only had a couple of customers who really wanted something different. And usually it's because they have a relative in the business or because they had "won" invitations from a bridal show or something.

Does winkflash print their logo on the back of the invitations? So far everything I've ordered from them has their logo on it somewhere. |

As far as Winkflash is concerned, these aren't really invitations, they are simply photos. They don't treat them any differently from any of their other photos. I just checked, and yes, the word winkflash is on the back. But for the money savings... I wouldn't let that dissuade me from buying 600 photos from them. :-)
As mentioned before, there are better solutions (heavier paper, lustre finish ... add to that, no logo on the back). It's just that they generally cost so much more and, in quantities this large, that can make or break a project.

Thanks - I used Mpixpress. They've just arrived and I'm very pleased with the quality and finish of them. I ordered linen 5 x 7 postcards. They cost me .77 dollars each. So thanks drewbixcube and all you others who replied.
