Ordering 3×5 prints online
I can’t believe how hard it is to actually order 3×5 prints online.
We’re putting a picture of Sadie in the envelope with the birth announcements. A. took care of all the hard pieces; all I had to do was pick the picture and order 60 prints to ride along with the cards. Little did I know this would turn into a 45-minute adventure.
I went to Ofoto and uploaded the picture. I then went to order, but they didn’t give me an option to order 3×5. So, I went to Shutterfly. Then Snapfish. None of the main providers of prints will sell you a 3×5 print. Eventually, I found dotPhoto, a site kind enough to actually allow me to buy prints from them.
I’m really surprised that none of the major sites support this size, because 3×5 is still a pretty standard card size.

Jason! Thanks so much for leading me to dotPhoto - we’ve found the picture frame set we want to use for a Christmas gift and it uses 3×5’s. Negative for that size also on KodakGallery, Ritz, and WalMart.

Sadly, I don’t get referral fees. Maybe I should look into that
