Default Wedding photographer prints workflow....

I shot my first wedding the other weekend, and I had some questions for those with experience what is what you have found works for you. I have currently a bunch of RAW photos, and I am going to select/process them. Once that is done the question comes about printing/selling.

Here are the alternatives that I have in mind, and I would love the feedback I can get on them- if you have other ideas that have worked for you by all means mention them. Thanks to all in advance.

---

- Upload the photos to a service that allows you to put galleries together, and then clients can come in, look at the photos, order them and they get processed/sent by that service to them.

- Same as above, but you print them and process the orders. The service allows you to put the gallery together, have credit card processing and keeps the clients orders for you but you must print them/ship them.

- You simply do verbal/voice/e-mail/written agreements between you and the client, to deliver X amount of photos of A, B, C. You print them. If you do this one, what is the most efficient way you have found to have the photos available to the client so they can select what they want to print? Contact sheets?

----------------

On "if you are printing them"- Do you-

- print them yourself- your own printer (Epson/Canon/what have you)
- Or you order them at Costco
- or you order them at another X external place?

---------------

Any other ideas? Advice appreciated.
