Save the Date with Vintage Postcards

I seem to get a lot of requests this time of year from wedding planners. Old postcards make great "Save the Date" cards for weddings.

There are tons of print shops that will do low-volume postcard printing - VistaPrint, printsmadeeasy.com and postcards.com are a few - but not all do matte finish, which is usually better for that "vintage look". Some printers can do different paper stock which can emulate the original linen cards.
