wwyd? groupon or no? first world problem

i haven't purchased much through groupon, so it's not always my go-to when thinking about saving money... which i should change.

i created the perfect party invite and matching postage stamps on zazzle. i'm so happy.

a co-worker suggested going through groupon before completing my order.

there are some AMAZING deals on groupon for zazzle and other printing places. one of the deals would be less than $20 for the invites.

the kicker is that the invites i have chosen are not part of the deal.

would you scrap what you've done for an amazing deal or would you keep what you've done and pay 3x the price ($60-ish) and save yourself the time and effort? stamps aren't part of any deal, they would go at regular price.

If you're very happy with your current invites, is it really worth $40 to get so-so invites that you aren't thrilled with?

IMO, I would stick with what you have now, and the next time, I would go through Groupon, and limit yourself to what is offered through the deal, and then you won't be "giving up" a perfect invite that you could make without the Groupon deal.

Since you already designed it, I would keep what you have.

Depends on whether I really had my heart set on the design. I would probably go with the deal though. Just keep in mind, in my experience you still have to pay full price for shipping and tax so an extra $10-20 on top of the Groupon.

I just went through something similar. I created my invitation and when I went to plug in the Groupon voucher, it wasn't included. I guess I didn't read the fine, fine print and it didn't include communion invitations. Long story short, I had to cancel the Groupon and get a refund in Groupon bucks. I paid Zazzle directly. It was a PIA.

Depends on if you can find invites that you like using groupon.

I do not like the Groupon zazzle invites. I would stick with what you made or order something off Etsy and have it printed through staples if you are trying to save money.

well, i wasn't impressed with anything that qualified.
i was looking at another vendor, but it's unclear which invites are part of the groupon. so, the jury is still out on what i'm going to do. luckily, i have time on my side.

Try Photo Affections. They have a Groupon and it doesn't limit you on designs other than it only covers one sided invites. They make great quality stuff!

THANK YOU.

i noticed that zazzle didn't have anything i liked on their groupon, but photo affections had nice things that are very similar to the ones i had created. i was a bit hesitant because i've never used them.

i believe photo affection is even cheaper!

thanks, again.
