I have a simple mind, and I want to make a bunch of simple invitations.

I have a simple mind, and I want to make a bunch of simple invitations.

I want to have about 70 folding cards printed.

I want the entire front of the card to be a photo, supplied by me. I want to be able to upload and format the text for the inside of the card.

I want a WYSIWYG preview of the entire card prior to committing to the purchase of about 70.

It seems that a high percentage of the online printers will not accommodate this simple request, and instead rely upon me choosing one of their templates or layouts.

I want envelopes, too.

Budget isn't the primary consideration, but I'd like to save a buck as much as the next guy (or girl).

Suggestions?

Have you looked at templates out of iPhoto if you are a Mac user? I don't have it in front of me, but I think they have a very basic option like this that will give you complete control (more or less) over the formatting inside.

I have used Vistaprint to make customized postcards before, and I see a variety of notecard options.

Winkflash has a "No-Border Folded Card Stock Card", with many layout options to customize for inside text.

I've used ImageMedia and GotPrint for various mailings and was always able to upload my own artwork. Both do digital previews.

My beloved moo.com will do all you ask for (except you'll have to buy 75 or 100 folded cards. I don't believe they do batches of 70).
