Affordable Wedding Save the Date Cards

Posted on by

Brides you are in luck! A new collection of wedding save the date cards has been released by Page Stationery. This line is much more affordable than a typical letterpress save the date card would be and it certainly offers brides a less expensive option when it comes to really nice cards.

I think most brides are torn between how much money to spend on the save the date. This gives them a great alternative to still get a high quality cards and use the other budgeted monies for more expensive wedding invitations.

Perhaps even better news is that they are continuing this line of digital cards to other areas including birth announcements and Holiday photo cards. Can’t wait to see what else they will come out with.

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t Settle For Generic Baby Birth Announcements

Posted on by

With the birth of our first child in our minds my husband and I decided that we would design our own girl birth announcements. We wanted all of our baby stationery to be finished and ready, except for the final birth details and picture of her (for the baby photo announcement) two months before our little daughter arrived. We didn’t want just any old baby girl birth announcement from the local card store. We wanted to make this whole occasion in our lives special, from the baby shower announcements to the final thank you cards after she was born.

My philosophy in life is, “Squeeze out every drop!”. I don’t like to rush through things because I want every drop of preciousness that the memories will hold for me for a lifetime. My husband was just as excited as I was about our wonderful tiny gift; the little girl that would forever change our lives. We talked a lot about how we wanted the birth to happen. We also planned out how we could include all of our families in the baby shower, our baby stationery and the baby birth announcements.

We have wonderful parents and we wanted them to feel how special they are to us. We also have one sibling each and a sweet little niece that we couldn’t love more. It may sound corny but we decided to have a family get together to show them the designs we were thinking about for all of our baby stationery. We wanted to get their input. We even wanted our four year old niece to be able to share her ideas about our baby photo birth announcements. After all, she and our daughter were going to be like sisters.

We wanted this baby birth announcements design party to be a fun and memorable occasion; a bonding time for all of us and the new member of our family, arriving soon. We decorated the house up like it was a birthday party; it was really a pre-birthday party. Since it was summertime the guys decided they would let the women relax and they would do the cooking. After we were all properly fed we got out our laptops and shared ideas back and forth about what we thought would be the perfect baby shower invitations  and birth announcements.

There was a lot of bantering, joking and laughter shared amongst us all. We also shared happy stories from times gone by. Finally, we came up with the perfect baby girl birth announcement and baby stationery for the thank you cards. The time had flown by and it was  time for every one to go to their homes. As we closed the door we stood their hugging and soaking in the love of what we had created  that night. This was time we would all remember fondly. There are many facets to precious events in our lives and it would have been the same if we were preparing birth announcements for boys or a little girl. For us, having this  bonding, baby birth announcements celebration, just for our family was almost as special as the day we all gathered to welcome our new baby girl into this world on her birthday.
