Because Super Cute Things Shouldn't Break the Bank

I love ceremony.  It's the reason I'm walking at my graduation in May, despite the costs I'll have to pay.  So it should go without saying that when it comes to kiddos, I love baby showers and a good old-fashioned birth announcement.

Purchasing invitations and announcements can really add up, especially if you want to include photos (which I always do,) but if you're willing to look hard enough, you don't have to forgo them.  The internet has really helped our family out in that regard.

For example, Vistaprints is a pretty big company that prints a ton of different items, including those invitations and announcements.  Their prices are decent, but when you use Vistaprint Deals the prices become fantastic.

Exhibit A


I'm seriously flipping out over how cute this is.  It's gender neutral, which is great for those who haven't found out, but if you have and you want gender specific gifts you can easily mention the sex in the invite.  Usually these invites are 10/$7.99, but with the deal they're only $3.99.  So if you're inviting 50 people, it's only $19.95.  That's cheaper than buying generic box invitations for sure.  Heck, it's even cheaper than making your own. 

Exhibit B


I'm in love with this one, too.  It's inappropriate, but still seriously cute.  I'm not going to lie; when I got birth announcements I ordered them from another site. I was happy with the quality, but the designs I could pick within my budget were pseudo-limited.  I ended up getting 100 for about $80.  This one?  Using the deal site, my order would have only been $39.90.  That's 50% of what I actually paid.


Don't like my taste?  There's HUNDREDS of designs.  Some of them use photos, some of them don't.  And tons of other products, even.  Oh, and new customers get up to 50% off.  AMAZING.

  1. The second one is a little creepy.. I don't know why people insist on treating baby boys like that EVER but hey, whatever haha. I like Vista print, they are usually reasonably priced and they always have a nice product.

    1. Haha I guess my taste is a little on the controversial side. They have totally normal announcements, too. :p

  2. This is too funny. A few hours earlier I was looking at Vistaprint for invitation ideas for my sister's bridal shower. The designs inspired me to do a themed bridal shower. Love the title of this post!

  3. Hahaha I love Exhibit B! I'm actually planning a baby shower for my friend this spring; I will definitely be using this deal! Thanks for sharing!

    My only hesitation is... do you know if they put the VistaPrint name or trademark on the card anywhere? I don't want it to look like I was being cheap or anything!

    1. When I ordered from them there was a tiny Vistaprint logo on the back...much like there would be a Hallmark label on the back of a card. Not tacky or looking like an advertisement at all!

  4. These cards are so great! I am laughing over the second one, and I love Vistaprint--I have used them for so much. Great call, and great savings!
