It is always a good idea to order approximately 10% more of your invitations from your guest list for the "just in case" moments. However, what if you're left with a bundle of invitations after the wedding? Rather than throwing your leftover invitations in the recycling bin, here are some ideas for putting them good use:
- Save one for a scrapbook or just as a memento of your big day
- Create a shadow box of the entire stationery…

Hi there Tweet Brides,
You may have thought you couldn't afford calligraphy for your wedding, but I believe you can. I have discovered after questioning several brides, that many don't even check into calligraphy, because they think it's something that is very overpriced and unnecessary. While other brides decide it's simply something they won't do without and knew they wanted their envelopes addressed in calligraphy from the beginning. Even in this economy, my business is booming with…

Well it has been a while since our exciting win at the LOUIE Awards, but here is a rundown of the National Stationery Show and the awards ceremony.....
After a couple of years of exhibiting at the National Stationery show, it was nice to just be a guest at this year's show. The show was good- smaller, as expected (I'm shaking my fist at the economy right now...). We were actually very pleased to see the snarky meter was amped up a touch. Blame it on the economy, maybe, but it opens…

Living a long way from family and friends really does bring in to focus just how special those relationships are.
I moved away from my childhood hometown ‘permanently’ nearly 8 years ago now although it is only during the last 18 months I have lived in a different country to all my family and friends.
A recent trip back to my parents has made me realise just how important it is to make time for the people you care about most. Putting time aside to dedicate to every…

2) Have a friend or family member take 3-5 formal or informal photos of you and your fiancé

e-mail. This will save you in stamps, paper and time!
4) Decide on 3 colors you would like your invitations to be in. (These could be the colors of your wedding)
5) Call or e-mail me and I will design your totally custom…

Having multiple events connected with your wedding creates its own set of unique challenges. In addition to the ceremony, some couples have a rehearsal dinner, wedding brunch, sangeet or mendhi party, pre-wedding cocktail reception…the list is endless.
One of the challenges is how to present the event information clearly in your invitation. For example, we recently created a mendhi-inspired wedding invitation set for a destination wedding.
Not only were there three events…
