Embossed Pockets? Why Yes!

We now offer embossed pockets that can be done in any design.  Why not put your special swirl or monogram on the front cover!  Here is our first one.  I will post more pictures of the total invite tomorrow.  But I am very excited! 

Tiffany Inspired

Tiffany inspired 5x7 Portrait Landscape Pocket Fold with Ribbon Bow. 

I think it sets the tone for the night!

 

 

Christmas is almost here!

Our newest die cut just came in.  What a great Christmas card!  It can act like an ornament too!  If you just got married or had a new addition to the family, what a better way for people to remember your day, then to have it on their tree every year.  I am going to post a few more different designs this weekend that include pictures as well.  So excited!

*Envelope included.

A bit of history... inner envelope

I had the privilege of visiting a private collection this weekend of old wagons and sleds.  One in particular caught my eye and I thought I would share the picture and a little history that relates to wedding invitations. 

Have you ever wondered where the inner and outer envelope came from?  Why so many envelopes? Isn't one envelope enough?  Before the 20th century, the postal service was not very reliable and in many areas did not exist.  The only way to ensure your invitation was delivered was to have them hand delivered by servants or by a private carrier service.  Since the delivery would require traveling through the elements (rain/snow/mud) and most likely by horse, the odds of a nice, clean, crisp envelope at destination was unlikely.  Therefore, upon delivery, the outer envelope would be removed and a clean invitation would be presented.  Today you will find the idea of an inner/outer envelope set to be fondly remembered, but not so much applied.  I find very few of my clients request it, and with the pocket fold invitations I can not provide it.  Suppliers just do not make inner/outer envelopes to fit them.  I guess you could consider the popular pocket fold design of today the new and improved inner envelope.

Silver & Cream Pocketfold with Bling... Rhinestone Buckle

  Just fun to show the classic in different colors with a fun new monogram blinged out with 4 Swarovski cyrstal rhinestones and a double circle rhinestone buckle inside.  All your guests will say is WOW!

Christening / Baptism Invitation - Navy Blue and White

This is our newest design.  Love the bold cross and colors.  This is for the more sophisticated baby!  Of course it can come in any color combination.  Soft colors would love also look really sweet.

We now have Lace!

We now have lace!  It is perfect for a wedding or a baptism.  It is soft and traditional, but by no means old fashioned.  This triple layered design features shimmer papers and a lovely shimmer/linen vertical line layer with a pale pink lace band and a dusty rose ribbon bow. 

Surprise is over... but memories remain.

This was a very special invite for my mother in laws 60th birthday.  I have been wanting to put up so badly... but needed to wait! 

Thank you to Sweet Memories in Emmaus, PA for being the perfect host to start the party off!

Happy 60th Birthday Kathy!

 

Envelopments 5x7 Metallic Dark Gray Pocket Fold layered with a textured metallic medium purple and shimmer white, floral graphics and finished with a belly band with surprise tag.

Brown & Cream with a touch of Pattern!

I love the look of brown.  It is the neutral black, but just a bit softer.  And you can not get more elegant then the simple brown and cream.  We added a pattern to give some interest and make the satin ribbon bow stand out.

Colorful Wedding!

How do you combine purple, sun flower yellow, silver and white for an outdoor wedding? 

I think we pulled it off!

Purple and Pale Yellow

This might have to be one of my favorite to date!  It could be the fun colors or how nice Adrienne was.  Either way I hope everyone else likes it too!

We are giving away 50 baby carriage note cards with envelopes.  These are so cute.  Perfect if you have a little one, having a little one or know someone who is!  Just like us on facebook and comment on the post about the baby note card give away.

Reception to Follow

Donna will be getting married on the beach with close friends and family. There will be a reception to follow upon her return. But of course she wanted to carry the beach back to the party!

Ideas for Silver, Red and Cream

Michele was not sure of the shape or color for her pocketfold invitations.  We tried a few different color combinations, styles, fonts, swirls, etc.  I will post the final version in a bit... but totally more dramatic then these two!  Just like me, Michele decided she loves patterns too!

Damask Black and White with Rhinestones

I love how the rhinestones look drying!

Blue as the Ocean....

Another sand dollar.. but in shades of blue and cream.

Juicy Couture Inspired

Juicy Couture Bridal Shower!  The bride is obsessed with Juicy!  So we used the gold and hot pink colors, a fun crown and of course a patterened pocketfold for that extra special feel....

By the Seashore

By the seashore - Fun little place cards that attach to the starfish and panel programs for the beach.
And of course the matching stationery signs for the reception... Love the Photo Booth Sign!

Program

Just a fun new size/shape. Opening upward, the longer size allows for the full mass for you Catholic brides. The champagne metallic cover, swirls and rhinestones give it the fun factor, but still elegant.

Purple Bridal Shower

Some rhinestones, a little design and a fun purple makes a great bridal shower invitation!

He Put a RIng on It! - Save the Date or Announcement

Eleanor wanted to showcase her new ring and use the term "He put a ring on it." somewhere on the announcement. But she did not want just a basic picture postcard. So we came up with a fun design using a picture of her ring, but die cut into an elegant shape. And choose a soft, pale yellow in a shimmer texture. Plus of course a little ribbon... we are The Satin Bow after all :-)

Navy, Gray and Pink

Navy is this years color! Here is a sample we just made up for Nicole. Nicole was a referral from her sister. It is always fun to create stationery for many members of one family!

Final design ended up with Hot Pink Ribbon and a Custom Cut Pocket.

Dunkin Donuts - Perfect Favor!

So... I drink DD coffee all day, everyday. I was in there today and they had this cute little box with two heart shaped donuts. They are $1.99. They would be the PERFECT favor for a wedding or shower. Or even just stacked up high on a table for an after wedding treat as your guest leave. Not sure how long they will be around... (thinking might be V-day item) but I bet if you order enough, they might make them for you in the future.

My Sister's Wedding!

Congratulations Amy & Ed! We are so happy for you!!!!

My First Card Box

My sister is getting married on Saturday... so I made her a card box to match her invites... not too bad if I do say so :-)

More Fun! Vineisha sent over pictures too!

Vineisha had not 1 but 2 weddings... so we got double the fun with programs.

I LOVE ALL THE COLOR!
