Reducing the size of a photo

Hi there, I'm relatively new to Photoshop but I've been reading a lot and picking most of the basics up pretty quickly. I'm working on a Save the Date card and am having trouble with resizing a few photos. The problem is that they were taken at a high resolution (10.0MP) but I need them to be much smaller to fit onto the card.

When opened in PS the photos are about 2500 pixels wide, and I need them to be closer to 250 pixels wide. Whenever I reduce them by this amount they lose quality and appear blurry.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
 
Try the following :

File > Save for web and devices

Or use shortcut "Alt + Shift + Ctrl + S"

In the "Image size" group at the bottom right, type in 250 against "W" column.

Then, on the top, from the preset pull down menu, select "Jpeg High" - you can alter the compression percentage, but you would increase the file size too.
