Etsy/printing up invitations

Looking on Etsy for invites.

How, exactly, would I go about printing up customized digital invitations, place cards, etc.? Do I just go to Staples for this? And about how much does printing run? Obviously I know that paper quality varies...we're talking about 50 invites for a baby shower here so it doesn't have to be super fancy paper or card stock...

Help!

i do it on mpix.com. they are amazing and the few i have used them they were printed and shipped a few hours after I placed the order.

I recently used CVS. They weren't photo cards (but you can do them too). They were ready the next morning and came out really nice. There was 40% off when I bought them so it came to $20 or something for 40 invites.

They are printed on decent cardstock.

The website actually says same day pickup- but the CVS by me JUST changed locations and they are still unorganized so I gave them a little leeway for that and for the fact that they forgot to use the preforated paper (I just used the cutting machine at work to cut the page in to the 2 invites.)

I'd use them again.

I just did favor tags and a few other things (not invites) and we just printed them at home on cardstock and used a paper cutter to trim them. Everything came out great. I also did a poster and had it printed at Walmart. Inexpensive and I was able to pick it up the next day.
