Creating postcards

I like making up postcards to have for guests. I use VistaP but I'm not happy with the 'flimsy' weight of the postcards. If you are making postcards that are like the ones you buy at the souvenir shop, what weight paper are you using when you make them?
Guests have cleaned me out of most of the 350 cards I made at the beginning of the summer. It's time to make more!

This is where I have my postcards done and I have been very satisfied with them. I use their basic stock...first option.

The other issue I have is that the size is off. I just noticed I can now select the 'right' size.

I always put one in the room for guests to take. Then I had the rest for sale. Many people bought them. I did 5 different cards. They enjoyed them.

I have them on display, but they're not for sale. They're free for the guests to take. I think I spent $35 in June on them, so not a big expense. They have our info on the back.

I give away for free - figure if they take them to send to other people its paying for my advertising to people I wouldn't have otherwise reached - I want them to go as far and as wide as possible. Also popular with the scrapbooking crowd.
