Thank You Cards


Most brides - and grooms might find writing personal thank you notes to be a daunting task. Not moi! I relish in the art of writing. However, we are a little late with sending them out. The mister and I wanted to use our wedding photos as thank you cards so we had to wait until we received the pictures from our photographers. It also took me a bit of time finding the right card design. After scouring Etsy and the like for reasonably priced greeting cards, my fancy-self decided to have someone create us a digital template for a small fee. We choose a printing company, Nations Photo lab for their pressed cards with the metallic sheen but we had an issue with the order when they came in a few days ago. The photo "cards" were printed on photo paper instead of heavy card stock material like postcards. Part of the design (our pictures) were cut off. Needless to say, I was really disappointed and called up the company to complain about the so-called photo cards. They gave us a credit to reorder the cards. However, their ROES software program is really complicated. *Sigh* we should have used ProDpi, which is the best professional print lab in the U.S and Canada. Of course I wanted to save some moolah so we didn't order from them. It would have saved us the headache. So today I am going to try to get in touch with a rep at Nations Photo Lab so we can figure out how to place an order. Honestly, I find learning how to use Adobe photoshop easier than ordering from this company. Lesson learn!
