Tiny Prints Invitation Review + Giveaway

Hosting a party sometime soon?  If so, we cannot recommend Tiny Prints enough to be your invitation provider!  We had the opportunity to review a few of the Tiny Prints products gratis this new year, including their birthday party invitations, and it was a great experience.  Please allow us to share with you a bit of our thoughts about Tiny Prints, and be sure to enter the wonderful giveaway we're hosting at well!

Tiny Prints birthday invitations are usually one of the first sites we look to when browsing designs and card ideas.  And now that Tiny Prints and Shutterfly have merged, it was easier than ever to compare and contrast styles and card layouts.  Ultimately, Tiny Prints won my heart as I quickly settled on a design to meet the needs for my daughter's fifth birthday.  When browsing the many designs, it was easy to filter my search based on my preferences (number of photographs, vertical or horizontal, colors, and my favorite "age ranges").  This narrowing of choices really saved time and endless browsing, I settled on a simple card using one photograph and an artistic design next to the photo.  The graphic designers working for Tiny Prints are amazing, they've really done a great job of finding ways to balance photos with text and graphics.  From this point, it was simple to personalize my card and adjust the photo.  It was fun to then give the invitation further personalization, such as images on the back and rounded corners.

 

Another great attribute of Tiny Prints invitations is the RSVP website management hosting.  After creating party invitations, it is easy to create a custom landing page through Tiny Prints that allows guests to respond to each invitation.  The landing page created had an image of the invitation (see the example above), straight-forward instructions for how to RSVP, a message for the guests, and the ability to either include a gift registry link or charitable donations link (in leiu of gifts).  Pros for creating an RSVP site in conjunction with your invitation are that it's classy and stylish, easy to navigate and edit, and a concise way to evaluate who will attend the party.  It also provides a space for guests to leave a private message for the host (such as dietary restrictions, schedule conflicts, etc.).  The only negative aspect of the RSVP site is that each invitee must register for an account at Tiny Prints, a few guests might be reluctant to do this.  Overall, this is a great feature, a time-savings service provided by Tiny Prints that we absolutely recommend.


After receiving our orders, we were most impressed with the Tiny Prints paper quality! Their paper is appropriately thick and the weight feels substantial yet not too heavy, it also has a smooth texture and finish.  It really makes the recipient feel as if they've received something special.  The printing was done with no smears or discolorations. Each card was immaculate and carefully produced.

We love Tiny Prints and their huge range of products. The personalized stationery, whether it be for adults or children is truly stunning and really stands out. We appreciate the subtle texture that comes with some stationery paper, making it feel luxurious and special. Don't you love getting hand-written notes in the mail? We sure do, and Tiny Prints is a great place to get started. There is something to fit anyone's style, no matter how fancy or traditional they happen to be. You'll find co-ordinating products such as address labels and other items to enhance your stationery and make your correspondence stand out to recipients.
