The Finishing Touches

Last week I worked on some escort cards for a wedding in Vero Beach. So often, I do these cards, take photos of them while they are sitting on my table and then ship them off.  Today, I received photos of the finishing touches that the event planner added.  I was amazed to see my work among all the beautiful flowers and decorations.

These are the cards up close before I mailed them.

Thanks William for sharing!!!!
 

Tonight's Color of Choice: Brown

Brown Ink on the Ecru envelopes make a nice finishing touch.  Script with Traditional Zip Code.

How are your wedding plans coming?  I've had lots of last minute brides this year and have even had to turn a few away because they waited too long to contact me.  If you know you want to use a Calligrapher to address your envelopes, contact them ASAP.  Get on the calendar and hold your date.  Remember, we are just like the other vendors and our days fill up fast.  I'm the only one who does the writing for my business so once I'm full, I have to turn people away.  It always makes me sad, because with the proper planning, you can have what you want.  Just something to think about.

Escort Cards

Escort Cards are often used instead of Place Cards.  They are tiny envelopes (way cute) that have cards inside of them with the guest's table assignment.  The nice thing is that they can stand up by adjusting the back flap.  Tonight I worked on this set.  Fern Green ink in Script font.  Nice touch.

Classy Black and White Place Cards

These were so fun and I thought they turned out great!  Very classy!

Celebrating 50 Years

I just absolutely love being a part of family keepsakes.  This bride contacted me to put the finishing touches on her wedding picture.  I was so excited and thought it turned out great!

I have to tell you that the bride hasn't changed a bit!  As soon as she put the photo in front of me, I knew it was her!  I hope I can look that great after 50 years!  Congratulations John & Babs!  Here's to many more years together......

Thank You Signs and More Place Cards

I've had a run on the orders for the Thank You Signs.  These are great for your photos.  Many couples have their pictures taken with them and then use them as their Thank You cards for their guests.

Click here for examples.

This one is "Thank You" with "Just Married" on the back.  The bride wanted them done in Script with all capital letters.

Another set - basic script on Natural Parchment.

More place cards - these were definitely a test of my tiny writing skills.  Not too bad!!!

More Place Cards

All those response cards are coming in. Here's some more place cards I've been working on.....
