Inject some humor into your invites

by on January 22, 2013 in General, Inspiration Boards

Just because you’re having a traditional wedding, it doesn’t mean your invitations have to go down the same road and follow suit.

Why not go for some humor? Customized funny wedding invitations are great for showing off both your and your groom’s sense of humor and the guests will love them. Some ideas are:

Tell your own love story on your invitation. Write down how you met and then dated, what the proposal was like etc.

Use characters – either cartoon or icons which relate to you and your partner (this is becoming a bigger trend than you might imagine).

Get inspired by your favorite movie. Parody a big selling movie. Use that movie’s poster and transplant your own face and that of your groom.

To get further ideas for novel wedding invitations come and speak to us here in Kansas at Papersnaps. We’ll be only too happy to help and inspire you.

 

Get Your Invites Organized For Your Big Day

by on January 14, 2013 in Brides and Weddings, General

Putting together a wedding invitation can actually be rather tricky. That’s because it can involve a number of inserts – all of which have to go in the same envelope. RSVP cards and separate reception cards tend to be the order of the day with directions, maps etc often sent separately.

The invitation and enclosures should be inserted so that the person opening the envelope will find them print-side up. The enclosures can go  either on top of the invitation or inside it. If using a wedding invitation with multiple folds, the enclosures go inside the first fold, with the printed side facing up.

Enclosures are placed on top of the invitation in order of importance with the most important invites on the bottom and the least important ones on the top.

Some Do’s and Don’t of Wedding Invites

Some Do’s and Don’t of Wedding Invites

by on January 7, 2013 in General

Wedding etiquette – don’t you just love it? Or not, as the case may be.

Sometimes it can be so complicated wondering who to invite, and how they should be addressed, and who else isn’t going to live them being there etc etc. Here at Papersnaps we believe weddings should be a fun occasion, not full of headache inducing stress. So that’s why we’ve put down this little guide.

Firstly, it is completely up to you whether you want to send an invite to an eight year old. There’s no cut-off point as far as we know that says only kids aged 10 and upwards should receive written invites.

Secondly, when it comes to sending out invites we would suggest up to eight months in advance is good for  ‘Save the date’ cards while actual wedding invitations need less time – up to three months.

It makes good sense, but it’s not necessary – and it’s also costly – to supply a stamped addressed reply card in with the wedding invitation. It’s your call though. And that’s entirely our point – it’s your big day, don’t let fretting about etiquette ruin it.

Season’s Greetings!

by on December 24, 2012 in Baby, Brides and Weddings, General, Parties, Seasonal and Holiday

This time of year, we all see the importance of cards. We send them to each other, with family
photos or letters talking about what we’ve been up to for the past twelve months. Sending these
greetings can be a special way of keeping in touch.

We work with all sorts of clients through the year, and would like to thank them. From baby
announcements to wedding invitations, we’ve enjoyed every job.

There are so many big moments that are commemorated with cards, whether they’re invitations or
thank yous. For any big moment you have coming up in 2013, we hope that you come to us. We’d be
happy to work with you to come up with the perfect card.

With 2013 just around the corner, we’re looking forward to a year full of great events. No matter
what you have planned for 2013, get in touch for all your stationery needs!
