PurpleTrail allows you to order printed invitations, cards or announcements in two sizes – 4x6 postcards and 5.5x8.5 folded cards with envelopes. The postcards are available for a flat fee of $0.99 each and the folded cards are available for $1.99 each.

With more than 5,000 exclusive designs to chose from, creating and ordering the perfect invitation, card or announcement has never been easier. You can use the PurpleTrail design center to Personalize your cards with thousands of design elements, text and your own photos. Once you are finished designing your card, you can easily order any number of cards and have them shipped directly to you for distribution, or let us ship them to the recipients directly. Here are the steps for ordering printed postcards and cards:

Step 1: Choose your design.

Browse the Print design gallery and choose a design. You can search for designs using the search box and entering key words. For example, enter "baby shower", and you will see all the baby shower designs. Click on the thumbnail image to see a larger view of the design.

Some designs are only available in either landscape or portrait orientation. You can modify your search parameters to only find the size that you are looking for.

Step 2: Personalize your design

Once you have found a design you would like to use, you can change it and personalize it with your information. To do this, click on the “Personalize” button by any design. This will open the design in the PurpleTrail Design Center. In the design center you can edit the design using text, your own photos and our library of thousands of design elements. Once you are happy with your design, click save and you will be taken back to start ordering your cards.

Step 3: Preview and Approve your design

After you have personalized your design and are ready to order your cards, you will need to view a preview of what your postcards or cards will look like. On the preview you can make sure everything looks good. If not, you can go back and personalize it again to make any changes. Once you have approved your preview, you are ready to place your order.

Step 4: Select order quantity and choose shipping options

Once you approve your preview, select that you would like to order printed cards and the quantity that you would like to order. You will then be given the option to have all the cards shipped to you for a flat shipping fee of $7.95, or we can ship the cards individually to each recipient for you. The cost to do this for each 4x6 postcard $1.49 (includes shipping) and for each 5.5x8.5 card is $2.49 (includes shipping).

If you choose to have the cards shipped directly to you, we will collect your shipping address and payment information. If you choose to have the cards shipped directly to the recipients, we will collect your payment information and then the shipping information for each recipient.

Step 5: Place your order

After you complete your order you will receive an email confirmation. All cards ship from our printing facility within 2-3 business days and are sent via first class mail.
