Where to Order Your Custom Cards

You've found a beautiful card design at Power and Peace Design. You've worked with me to customize it to be exactly the way you envisioned. I've sent you back two JPG files for printing. Now what? Where should you go to print your custom cards? Lucky for all of us, many familiar sites offer the option to upload your custom designs and print them just as easily as if you had used one of their designs. This is a big bonus if you happen to have your eye on a sale or on using a discount code. This list of possibilities is not exhaustive but includes place that either I've used or my customers have used. For some options I have written posts with step-by-step instructions on how to upload your files. Some do not offer the 5x7 size but may offer a size that is close. I made sure to tell you when that is the case. In alphabetical order I present to you some choices for printing here in the United States where I am based:

1. Costco Photo Limited to members. You may order cards directly from their website. Read my step-by-step instruction for ordering from Costco Photo.
2. CVS Photo I found the process just a little bit clunky on this site. However, if you have a neighborhood CVS you might have the option of picking up your order there instead of paying for shipping. Some products even offer same-day pick up. You will have to set up an online account to order. Read my step-by-step instructions for ordering from CVS Photo.
3. Meijer Photo This is a grocery chain based in my home state of Michigan. Make sure your cards can be shipped to your address before ordering. Guest checkout available. Read my step-by-step instructions for ordering from Meijer Photo.
4. Sam's Club Limited to members. You may order cards directly from their website. Read my step-by-step instructions for ordering from Sam's Club Photo.
5. Shutterfly Easy to use if you already have an account with them; otherwise you will need to set one up. You should know that a white band with Shutterfly logos on it will block a pretty significant portion of the back of your design. Read my step-by-step instructions for ordering from Shutterfly.
6. Simply to Impress
7. Snapfish Easy to use if you already have an account with them; otherwise you will need to set one up. Read my step-by-step instructions for ordering from Snapfish.
8. Vistaprint I've used this site with success in the past and have been very happy with both quality and price. It should be noted that the 5x7 card is in actuality 4.61x7.17 . This will cause your card to crop a bit more narrow than you may be expecting. I can adjust your design if you plan to print here. Read my step-by-step instructions for ordering from Vistaprint.
9. Walgreens
10. Walmart Photo The process for creating your card was amazingly easy on this site and the prices were great. The only snafu I had was the fact that the default layout for the back used two images instead of just one but that was easily corrected. You will need an online account to complete checkout. Ready my step-by-step instructions for ordering from Walmart Photo.

I would love to hear if you've had success at any other locations. I would be happy to keep updating this list as a reference for all my future customers. International customers, let me know what sites I should add for your location. I would love to do posts specific to other regions of the world as needed.
