I have free Southwest vouchers I would like to use to visit Chicago for my friend's wedding. Her wedding and reception are actually closer to OHare airport, but Southwest flys to Midway. What is the best way to travel between Midway and OHare? Or should I use my vouchers for another trip and shell out ~$330 to fly to OHare on another airline?

With airfare being so expensive just take the Orange line from Midway downtwon and catch a blue line to O'hare. It is very simple and cheap.

At the risk of being reduntant, the CHEAPEST way to get between the two would be the Orange Line from Midway to downtown, then switch over to the Blue Line (to make the switch, you go into the elevated station, take the escalator down to street level, then down again to the subway).
But the EASIEST way might be to take an airport shuttle. There's one called Omega that goes between the two airports for $16. Not that expensive to go from door to door.

It's actually really easy to get from Midway to O'Hare. When you land go to the Orange Line train. Anyone can direct you if you can't find your way. Take the train up to the Clark/Lake stop and transfer to the Blue Line train. Again, anyone can direct you if then signs confuse you. (Some are great and some seem to make no sense.) The Blue Line goes all the way to O'Hare! People here are pretty nice and helpful when you need directions. The whole ride one way will cost you $2.25. Much better than a taxi!

Hire limo to travel between travel between O'hare airport and Midway airport in Chicago. It is the best way.

The best way is to use the CTA - El-train or the elevated subway you can get almost anywhere in the city and both Midway and Ohare are connected. Once you get closer to where you need to be, take a cab.
The CTA has a good website http://www.transitchicago.com/
