Greeting Cards

I am posting this in Greek Life because perhaps someone might think it's a good idea and might want to R&D it.

I am looking for a company, a printer more specifically, that will take a PDF file I create and change it into a greeting card. The company should also provide envelopes. I would REALLY prefer a small print run of about 250.

The cards will be fraternity greeting cards, basically. I plan to give them out as gifts to neos in the future. I used to have some (10) plain Alpha cards, but I used them all.

Now, if we find such a company and you are so artistically inclined, I highly recommend making some to give as gifts to your new members. Maybe a set of ten cards and envelopes, tied in ribbon of the colors of your org, and a few of those inexpensive ink pens they're always selling.

I went to hotcards.com and they had nearly everything I need, EXCEPT their minimum order was 1000.

It would be great to get some greeting cards for my sorority. I would love to use them with birthday and graduation gifts, as well as for new members.

I had some greeting cards made for me by a eBay vendor. Let me see if I can find the name, she may be able to help you.

*goes to look*

ETA: I found it. Here is the link to the eBay store. I'd contact her and see if she can help you put together what you're looking for.

Vista Print does a great job. Plus, if you sign up for their mailing list or google "vista print coupons," you can get lot's of products free.

I've used vistaprint.com and Kinko's--both are good, although I prefer vistaprint.
