Wedding Paper Divas - Invitation site

[little miss sunshine]

Hi everyone

I have seen this site mentioned in a bunch of invitation threads, but I just ordered a sample from them and I am so impatient! Has anyone used them for their invitations? I loved so many of their designs and the prices seem decent but I wasn''t sure about the quality. A lot of the other invite sites were waaay too complicated and had too many options that I got overwhelmed. If you haven''t used this site, do you have any other easy to navigate sites for invites?

Thanks so much!!

(BTW I ordered a sample of the Lime Grosgrain invitation set and will post again once I get them if anyone is curious)

Someone on weddingbee.com used them (can''t remember her name) but if you go to the site and use the search function to look for "wedding paper divas" I am sure it will come up. I have heard nothing but good things about them...I myself even inquired about brunch invitations, and they seemed very nice and organized, but I decided not to go with them just because of timing reasons.

Good luck, and make sure of post pics when you get the sample! I would love to see it!

I ordered from them and I was very happy with them. They were nice cardstock and felt nice in the hand. The printing was crisp and the colors were great. They certainly are nothing like the $20/piece hand engraved invites, but they are certainly nice for the prices they charge IMO!

I got a lot of compliments on them, FI's grandmother even said to his mother that I must come from money because the invites were so elegant. Hope she's not disappointed that I don't.

Sunshine, please do post the sample from Wedding Paper Divas and let us know what you think. There are several designs on their site I like. Is the printing raised or flat?

I used them for our save-the-dates, which arrived early last week (I posted a thread on them with pictures). I was completely satisfied with the paper and printing quality, but mine are just simple cards so I don't know if they would be representative of a full-blown invitation.

Thanks Musey! Your Save the Dates are gorgeous. My favorite color too! Did they use flat or raised print?

Our wedding colors are orange, burnt orange, and, well, ORANGE.

The print is all flat.

Hi again!

Musey I absolutely love your save the dates. That''s one of my favorite things about wedding paper divas - the colors are so great! So, I got my sample in the mail and it''s EXACTLY what is pictured on the website, on a nice thick cardstock. However, the writing is not raised, and I sort of feel like I could have designed in myself and printed it from a laser printer. I can now see why a few people have ordered Save the Dates, but not as many order invites. I still LOVE the invitation, but I just don''t think I am going to order them. I went today to a local store and fell in love with a few Carlson Craft Pocket invitations as well as a very simple letterpress invite...

So, the invitation search continues!!

I used WPD for my invites and they were really great to work with. You can have a more customized design (other colors and fonts) and it''s really not much more. We ordered about 10 samples and finally chose a design because we ran out of time

After all this time I just figured out you can change the art work or background colors of the Wedding Paper Divas invitations. I must have been looking at the website for a few hours trying to sell myself on one of the red invitations when I saw the bit about changing the colors. I would have ordered a sample of the hibiscus invitation a year ago if I thought I could get it in a different color. So the sample is ordered.

Sunshine, I too was looking for raised print or even a raised design. Maybe it will be so pretty I won't care. There is a lovely Hibiscus invite by Carlson Craft which for months I figured was the one. Now I'm obsessed with researching invitations and thinking red instead of orange. I will have probably seen every last invite available and every DIY one posted on the internet before I make up my mind. Oh, I used VistaPrint for my Save the Date Cards and magnets and was very happy with them. 100 folding cards, envelopes and photo magnets for $100. Plus I got two free items - an address stamp to use for the return address on the STDs and some lovely return address labels for my mom.
