Thank You Notes Q & A

Here’s a great post I found regarding Thank You’s. I’m a real stickler for thank you’s and believe they should be sent out right away. That old rule about having a year is so outdated and wrong. Check out the great info here at Bridal Guide.

Need some great Thank You notes that can be personalized exactly to your specifications? Check out the great stationery in my Etsy shop!

Happy Thursday!

What I made for the President!

I was (and am!) very excited and honored to be asked to create the name tags and inserts for the First Family and a host of Hollywood celebrities for a very special event for the Arts Coalition. Now Cami’s Paperie clients can count themselves among world leaders and Hollywood celebrities! Each tag was created using three layers of shimmery metallic cardstock, then set with a pewter grommet. For the inserts, the swirl is a separate layer of paper which was cut on a die cut machine.

Remodeling a Bit…

Hi All!
Please bear with me as I re-organize and re-structure my blog. It will take a few days, so things may look completely out-of-whack right now. Trust me, it will be worth the wait! I’m improving and adding lots of cool new categories! Plus, I’ll be updating much more often.
Cami!

Escort Cards – 6 Things to Know

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 01:46:30 +0000

1. Often confused with placecards, escort cards indicate guests’ table assignments. Placecards are found on the actual dining tables, and tell guests precisely where to sit. There’s no table assignment needed on a placecard since the card is already placed at the guest’s seat.

2. Often called table assignment cards. Use the term you like!

3. For couples (whether married or not), one escort card is appropriate since they’re sitting at the same table.

4. Arrange the cards alphabetically by last name. Position them near the entrance to the cocktail hour venue (but not right next to the door). A good place is in the center of the room, where guests can approach from all sides.

5. Use appropriate titles such as “Mr. James Miller” or “Dr. Linda Ross” at formal weddings; for casual weddings, go with first and last names only (“James Miller”).

6. When ordering escort cards, be sure to indicate the style you’ll need. Will the cards need to stand on their own (tent style) or will they be placed in some type of holder (in which case, you may just need a single panel card).

7 Wedding No-Nos

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 12:44:05 +0000

1. Cash Bar. No. No.
2. Registry information on your invitation.
3. Getting tipsy or worse, drunk, on your wedding day.
4. Assuming that your guests have the same culinary tastes you do. For example, don’t serve every guest a meal of Sashimi and think everyone is going to love raw fish. Offer a variety of food choices.
5. Don’t seat older guests right next to the DJ or loud speakers.
6. Don’t forget to send thank-you notes!
