How can I tell if they are high resolution?
I think it has to do with how many pixels your picture has, the more pixels, the higher the resolution. Anything greater than 3 megapixels, i would imagine would work for the postcards. not an expert, but somewhat familiar. Thanks!

Hi just wanted to put in my 2c..you don't need too high of a resolution of a picture for a postcard size print. Typically a pic taken with 2.1 mp digital camera will make a nice 8x10...any larger and you'll get graininess/noise. Resolution is the number that's like 300x600. Most cameras are now 7+ mp and will def produce a nice postcard pic.

 

(megapixels is a count of the number of dots in a certain area...the more the pixels, the finer the print).

 

We used vistaprint for our STD's. We took a picture at a beach in SF, drew the date in the sand and managed to capture a wave lapping near the date. For the side with the text, we used a picture of the lounge at the Mayan Palace set with 50% opacity so you could see the pic in the background.

 

You can also used places like iStockPhoto for a picture of PV, but I'm sure just doing a google image search you'll come up with plenty of options for free!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
