Our first post! So exciting! Ok, so I'll start off by way of introduction. Hello, my name is April, and I'm a paperholic. My husband (Matt) and I make stationery for weddings and other special events. Technically we do this so that we can eat food and live and all that, but the reality is we do it because we love it. I know, I know, it sounds cliche, but creating brand new, truly unique stationery for awesome people is a really fun way to make a living. Of course, the projects that end up being the most fun are weddings, which is our main focus. It's always a challenge, but we love it.
Some other things I love are:
- zuma (how cool is that frog? I mean c'mon.)
- animals (I have a cat, her name is missy. She loves to steal your chair when you leave the room. I wonder if that's where they get the phrase cat burgler?)
- The office, Scrubs, 30Rock, Arrested Development, and Nintendo Wii.
OK, enough about me, lets talk invites!
Brainstorm!
There are so many beautiful, creative ways to design an invite these days, the options are virtually endless. Yet often, at least from what we've seen, a lot of invitations end up looking very similar.
While it is true that there are only so many ways you can fold a paper, we are constantly racking our brains to come up with totally new designs for our brides.
We'd like to start our first blog post with a survey, so tell us what you think!
Think about all of the invites you've seen lately. The current styles and trends. What would you like to see on an invitation that has never been done before?
What is your dream invitation?
We love great ideas because we love a challenge! Try thinking outside of the envelope so to speak. Think really big, or really small. Think round, triangular, odd shapes and sizes, anything!
In fact, let's start out with a contest! Whoever comes up with the best, most creative, out-of-the-envelope design will win a full invitation package featuring your design!
