Last night, I delivered these sweet table cards & menus for Christina & Troy's wedding today! My good friend and planner extraordinaire, Alison of
Alison Ulshoffer Events & Design, called me up for this fun project.
The table cards were oh, so cute with names like - Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch, Chapel of Love, It's in His Kiss, And then He Kissed Me - just to name a few. Are you humming along yet? I like the classic simplicity of numbered cards - but love the idea of naming the cards with either a theme or things that mean something to the couple. They can be a great conversation starter for guests. The menus just as cute, followed suit in the same design palette with a custom monogram heading up the panel. Each card, table & menu, I adorned with Swarovski Crystals for a little surprise and a touch of bling factor for Christina.
Happy Wedding Christina & Troy!!

My friends, The Chiesa Family, just picked up their holiday cards yesterday. Sarah couldn't decide which photos to use of her beautiful baby girl - so she had me create - not one, but two - holiday cards! Fabulous. The portraits were taken by my good friend Jessica Giblin of Jessica Giblin Photography.
I'm wrapping up a few other holiday card orders and will have more pics to publish soon!
Stay warm ...

Meet Megan and Peter. Their wedding took place in Angwin, California at Megan's uncles winery, Robert Foley Vineyards on August 9th, 2008. The day was captured in photography by the talented team of Artistic Imagery, Amber & Alan. If I could put all the photos they so expertly took - I would. The cellar photos are simply breathtaking.
If there is any couple I have worked with in the last 6 years that I connected with on just about every level - it was Megan & Peter. From their wedding to tattoos - I think we just about covered it all! Their vision was clean and crisp with a Rock-a-billy attitude.
Their invitation was a 5x7 panel design, double matte invitation of black linen and classic white - three layers all together, enclosures secured to the back with a bandwrap, grosgrain ribbon & monogram panel, directions, accommodation info and reply postcard. The table cards were 5x7 single matte in black linen, table name printed on classic white and double sided so that guests could see the table name from any direction. The thank you notes were printed with their custom monogram on classic white 4x5 notecards with matching classic white envelopes.
Thank you, Megan and Peter for trusting me and allowing me to share in your special day!

Designing, stuffing, mailing ... oh, my. The last thing you want to do when you start receiving replies back is worrying about who's reply is who's. The ever faithful M____________ line is where your guests should write in their names ... or provide a return address on the back flap of the reply envelope. But this is not always the case. One quick step can save you hours worth of detective work.
Set yourself up a spreadsheet or word-processing document numbering all of your addresses - then simply number (somewhere inconspicuous - like the back corner) all your reply cards - making sure to carefully match up the corresponding number to the corresponding address when it comes time to mail. So that when Uncle Fred & Aunt Sally forget to write in their names and supply a return address on the reply envelope - you know to check them off the list. Hello! Genius.
