FREE ENVELOPE LINER

Here is a little freebie for you this week. A free download for a C6 arrow envelope liner. All you need to do is print, then cut around the pink lines and put a small stripe of gluestick on the envelope under the natural glue line (the bit where you lick). Once this is done place your liner inside the envelope and press down on the glue stripe once you have it in place.

Should you DIY print your invites?

I've got a really quick post for you this week based on the age old question of it's really worth paying extra for printing.


I have just recently added DIY printing options to my template based wedding stationery and as I'm offering both options can see the merit in both. So I've put together a little pro's and cons list for each.


Printed Invites:
Pros:

• You give me the information, I send you a package with everything printed, cut to size and ready for you to pop in an envelope and send out. Easy.
• You know that it is going to be printed on high quality stock at a professional printer … not at office works where you have no choice of paper.

Cons:

• It costs more than the file only option.
• You need to pay for shipping

DIY Print option:
Pros:

• It is a smaller up front investment
• It gives you the option of emailing out your invites.
• Much faster delivery (within a week of ordering).

Cons:

• You either have to print them all at home and cut them to size or find a printer and go through the whole process with them.
• It can be time consuming and stressful if you are already feeling a bit crazy from the other 3025 things you need to get done.

Really there is no right or wrong option, so just keep in mind wether you have the time and patience to take on a DIY print.  Either way is fun

NAUTICAL WEDDINGS & MY HELLO MAY DEBUT

I've been celebrating getting into the most recent Hello May issue with my Nautical pre-made wedding invite set, so I thought I would put together a little collection of nautical wedding ideas to get you inspired for the upcoming spring wedding season.

All you need is ocean based blues, a few ropes, maybe even an anchor and a venue near the water. If you can't help making it truly authentic, how about a hiring a yacht for the day and sailing to a beautiful location with your exclusive guest list? It's like a destination wedding without ever needing to renew your passport.

If you really feel the need, just pull out your best Carlton Banks outfit, a monocle and your good to go.
