Received my first cards.
May 24^th, 2009, 3:10pm

Absolutely beautiful, high quality card stock, printing was excellent. Printing was crisp and clear! My only issue was my hubby accidently saw his anniversary card (29 years May 31). Every person who I know that has ordered a card has been very complimentary. So thank you, GCU!!!

Question on having you mail the cards: When I ordered the cards and YOU mail them to receipients, do they go in the regular kind of envelope or the cardboard envelope? My husbands came in the cardboard one, and I was suprised to see that. The card arrived in perfect condition, and it is fabulous card, but I expected it to be in a regular mailing envelope. How are they shipped to folks that I have you mail them to?

Again, thanks for the terrific cards. Makes me want to do even better work to equal the quality of the card printing quality!!!

I have a B/W image that I sent as a GCU card to my boyfriend - he saved the envelope to show me : )-

The card was STUNNING - perfectly folded, professionally printed, a crisp/clear reproduction of my original photo. My info on the back was perfect (but if Titles were included ... I'd love that!).

The card was mailed in a regular card envelope. White. Decent font used for addresses.

Not sure why it was post marked Salt Lake City tho - is that where GCU is located? If so, then why did I pay CA sales tax?

Great, thank you for the glowing review!

Yes, GCU is located in California yet our printing partner is located in SLC, Utah.

There are two mailing options:
1) "mail directly to someone else" are sent in their own envelope as usual
2) "mail to myself with blank envelopes" will be sent in the outer cardboard envelope or box based on quantity and include blank envelopes for each card
