Jonathan Gilmore: I recently received Wedding Thankyou cards from Optimal Print. I found the design aspect of the website clear and versatile, where I went for the "self design" option, allowing me full control over all aspects. I used the graphics that we used for the original wedding stationary, combined with a couple of photos, and uploaded two finished compositions of the advised size one for the outside, and one for the inside of the folding card, on the heavier matt paper.
When they arrived, they were excellent, with the images positioned perfectly on the creases etc.
On my re-order, the colours were slightly different, but fortunately better than my initial order. I also never found an option to choose anything other than the standard white envelopes - but maybe I didn't look hard enough.
I would recommend Optimal for both product quality and prompt and safe delivery.
