Client Spolight: Rachel & Kamal

Being a bride in 2008 I have made quit a few "net buddies" over the last year and a half. On one of the message boards I am apart of, Rachel mentioned that her original invitation designer was no longer able to complete her invitations, so I offered to help her out. Rachel supplied us with the artwork because she already had a theme and wanted to continue with it. We completed the layout and printed everything on linen cardstock with matching envelopes.

Rachel wanted to take her invites even further, so she put her DIY hat on, and decided to mount the invite in a pocketfold. With a customized label from http://www.myownlabels.com/ her invitation is finished and ready for mailing.

Well done Rachel, and congtats on your upcoming nuptials!

Personalized Stamps

Personalized stamps are a great way to make your invitations pop! These are courtesy of www.zazzle.com They have hundreds of pre-set designs to choose from, or you can upload your own personal photo to make it even more unique. Some couples use an engagement picture, wedding monogram, photos of pets, and many more.





Although these stamps are beautiful, they can also be quite pricey! They are about double the cost of the actual postage depending on which size stamp you choose. If you have the room in your budget this is definitely a splurge and worth it. If you can't find the room then regular postage stamps will do, and you will save a ton of $$. www.stamps.com also offers the same service, as well as a slew of other sites, so compare prices to get the most bang for your buck.
