Hello! I have brides who ask me how to address an envelope? Ok, so nowadays there are different ways to address an envelope to your guests. You can print directly on your envelope, attach a label to your envelope, handwrite them yourself or have a calligrapher do this for you. What I will suggest, is that by all means please try to avoid a label on the front of your envelopes. This makes your

This custom wedding invitation was designed for a couple with a color scheme which included fusia and apple green. We incorporated diamond accents and a buckle as the focal point on the outside of the pocket. As a grand finale, the invitation was carefully placed in an ecru invitation box with a handwritten calligraphy guest name. Truly, a very different, original and fancy wedding invitation!

She welcomed my fiance Trey and I into her store and got to know us and our style and helped us find exactly what we were looking for- and pretty quickly. She was very consistent with her timeliness throughout the entire time we worked with her. I also very much

Isn't it nice to have a favorite color? Some brides have chosen aqua with a touch of mocha, or chocolate or even black. Beautiful combination not only for a beach wedding but also for a formal ballroom wedding!

Francis David (1510-1579); ClergymanWe can all love one another without thinking alike. We can all help each other without having the same beliefs, religion, culture, etc. Perfect example, Haiti and all the help they have received from different organizations and countries. We can all give a little of ourselves to someone else. Make somebody smile!

There is a trend for Fan Programs especially for these coming hot summer times! Guests appreciate having some idea of who the wedding party is and what will be in the wedding program, even though most weddings are very similar. They like to read something while sitting down and also like a loving thank you from the bride and groom. I created this during the weekend. We can customize it to your

Ok, you're engaged, what is the first step on planning your wedding? What are the rules on sending Save-the-Dates? First, let's just be clear that they are not obligatory to send, yet is common courtesy to do so. They do not take place of the invitations. They are sent out to let your guests know the date and place of your wedding so they can make plans ahead. They are usually sent out as soon (

While in the past there were traditional sizes for invitations, today's couples are bound only by their imagination when choosing a size for an invitation. When designing your invitation, make sure there is an appropiate-size envelope for the invitation and all its components. You should also be aware that any over- or off- size invitations may require extra postage.Taken from Crane & Co. Blue

Wedding invitations have always set the tone for a wedding. It is very important that you are careful enough when choosing your type of invitation so it matches your type of wedding. Remember, the wedding invitation is the first impression your guests will have of the anticipated event. It will give them the idea of how formal or semi-formal they have to attend and can even tell them if if will
