Wohoo! Vistaprint is offering some fabulous new freebies- you just have to pay shipping! Make this a HOT deal by ordering several of these freebies at once, which means you save on shipping.

Here are some of my ideas for making scoring FREE wedding details!
- Make a wedding tote bag- choose your favorite wedding design or upload a photo.
- Make a bride to be t-shirt! Wedding designs aren't included for the free t-shirt offer, but you can use a heart or flower design, or upload a photo.
- Order 100 postcards: Personalize these to be save the dates or a welcome message for your out of town bags.
- Design 250 business cards to be favor tags or tags on out of town bags (example).
- Personalize a notepad with your name or Bride to Be- why not? It's free!
- Personalize a sticky note pad to match!

And you can choose from several very cute designs- I just included examples above.

I tested this scenario for all of these products and my grand total? $11.64- just the cost of shipping. Such an amazing price for a personalized tote, a customized tee, 100 save the date cards, 250 favor tags, and two personalized note pads. That's 3¢ per item!!

EXPIRED: Last Day- 100 Personalized Favor Tags for $3.99 Shipped! 03/08/2012

Well, we knew it wouldn't last forever... The InkGarden 100 FREE business card deal expires tonight. So if you were thinking about snatching this one up, do it today! Use code 100FREE for one sided cards or 100FREE2 for two sided cards. You just have to pay shipping, which starts at $3.99.  I ordered these and loved how they turned out! And they have some very fun designs.

A few ideas as to how to use these for your wedding:
  • Personalize these with your names, wedding date and even a photo and use these as favor tags! Punch a hole in a corner, put a ribbon through it and tie them to your favors.
  • Add your photos and a "Welcome to Our Wedding Weekend" message and tie them to your hotel bags. You could even include a timeline or list of your favorite attractions on the back for out of town guests!
  • Use these as your escort cards! Design a template that works with your wedding style, and then you can hand write the seating assignments. Just keep in mind that the cards will lay flat on the table rather than standing up.
I would love to hear any other ideas you have!
