In this hands-on review, we'll explore Vistaprint's wedding invitation offerings and see if they can rival the bigger competitors in the market.
First Impressions
Upon receiving my free kit in the mail, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and thickness of the envelope. Inside, I found a variety of wedding samples including a save-the-date magnet, invitation, RSVP card, ceremony program, and dinner program. However, I was slightly disappointed by the lack of variety in terms of styles, textures, paper types, and colors.

Apart from wedding invitations, Vistaprint offers a wide assortment of additional stationery items such as stickers, seals, program designs, RSVP cards, and dinner menus. The best part is that all of these products can be coordinated to create a cohesive and visually appealing wedding stationery set.
Conclusions
Despite the slight disappointment in the lack of variety in the sample kit, I believe it's still worth ordering, especially the free kit. The star of the show was definitely the save-the-date magnet, which showcased beautiful quality without being clunky or unsightly like traditional fridge magnets.
If you're looking for customizable wedding invitations and a vast assortment of coordinating stationery, Vistaprint offers an easy and convenient solution. While improvements can be made in terms of paper variety and style options, their personalization features and high-quality products make them a strong contender in the wedding invitation market.
