Hi all
I do agree with co co too. Initially, I thought of collecting 350 cards from tdragons to get my printer to print (friend's dad is a printer), however, the customer service staff at tdragons provided negative quality of service. My hotel mentioned that I can choose cards from tdragons' designated selections. They changed their attitude when I mentioned that I will be collecting the cards from them and get my own printer to print. My goodness!!!!
Now that I was given such service, I will never even want to recommend tdragon to my other friends.

hi gals,
Fyi, i've gotten married already & my wedding was on 29 May. My hubby & I did our own inserts. We bot some nice patterned lilac paper frm Malaysia (it was really cheap, if i rem correctly, its RM$5 for every 100gm) & we printed it ourselves. It turned out quite nice.
Anyway, as for printing of invite cards itself, I strongly recommend Kentrich Trade Press. They're really nice and professional. I had a deadline to meet, & i gave them less than a week to print the cards out, & they still managed to get it out, without ANY mistake & on gloss finish somemore. My card was in black and white & only costed me $0.70 each. I printed 300 copies, which only came up to $210. In addition, the guy even gave me many extra samples as mementos. Most importantly, the card turned out beautifully !
Thumbs Up for Kentrich !

hi kite, to answer ur questions...
1) & 2) for printing directly on cards or inserts will depend on the type and design of cards you have and according to your own preference. for eg, if the type of paper u're using has design/pattern on it, then it may not be advisable to print directly on to the card cos it may distort or make reading the card difficult. of cos printing on cards directly will save u some money cos the paper inserts itself will cost u some money.
btw, inserts mean that instead of printing directly on the card itself.. you print on another pc of paper (usually a translucent pc and then u attach it to your card by tying a string).
3) hot stamp refers to the type of printing you want. there's the normal printing; something that u print out directly from your printer. for hot stamping, the words would be more shiny and there'll be a slight indent so the words look more classy.
there's another type of printing now.. just got to know of it when i went to print my cards last weekend.. it's called matte gold hot stamping.. instead of shiny words, u'll get the hot stamping in a matte gold effect.
there's a limit to wat can be explained here.. it's better to find a reliable printer who can explain and show to you wat are all these printing and advise you wat is the best way to print ur card.
usually there's a overhead cost of setting the mould for ur printing... for eg, they'll quote u something like $100 for the first 100 pcs printing which include the cost of the mould. subsequent pcs would be at 30-50 cents per pc depending on the type of printing you wanna do.
hope the above helps.. and not confuse u further... hehe

kite, insert paper would cost abt 10-20 cents per pc.. u would save this cost if u're printing directly on the cards instead..
keiki, u can do that.. i saw a sample done that way.. but i dun think it's going to be cheap.. the one i saw has the black and white photo as the background with the invite words on the photo itself..
