Richmond Weddings
If you live in Virginia you might be wondering where to your shopping for to find Richmond wedding invitations and wedding stationery. There are several sources available, but there is one in particular I highly recommend. I will tell you why.
Dabbling in design is one thing but know and practicing design is another. Having your own printing company is yet another level above the competition. Designing a wedding invitation is something that many claim to be able to do. The problem is most of the stores and consultants you deal with locally have no idea what about how to really do it because they haven’t the experience with all aspects of the creating the invitation. They simply take the order and send it to a company like Crane’s or William Arthur.
The better solution is to have a real design work on your invitation. A designer who has been trained in not just random design like packaging, but specifically in typography where it really matters for products like wedding invitations and stationery. You would also want that designer to have some real hands on experience working with someone who was a leading authority on weddings and maybe even had a a publishing company like Martha Stewart. Optimally this designer would have several years of working one on one with Martha Stewart directly each day. Another characteristic you would look for is if she was well versed in printing, both letterpress and digital printing and how much knowledge she had in those areas. Ideally she would have started her own design or boutique printing company that specializes not only wedding stationery but in all aspects of design for Richmond weddings and events.
For clients in Richmond Va they are indeed lucky to have this very valuable resource available right in their backyard. You see, Sue Corral started Design Corral and is now available for consultations about your wedding invitations, baby announcements or personal stationery at affordable prices. Contact her and see what she can do for your event.

Few occasions can really justify hiring your own designer but having a baby and coordinating the baby stationery to you wishes is one you might consider, if for no other reason than to reduce stress. Having a baby is stressful and the last month prior to birth is extremely stressful. So why not use those few weeks to go ahead and get the majority of the birth announcement completed. Once you have your child you can then just email the designer the required date, weight and length and you will be done. Much easier right?
This is another reason I go for your personal stationery designer. You can get a sense of their design sensibilities and then hand over the reigns.This also be construed as a stationery if this is what you prefer. I like the design boutiques where the designer is both printer and designer and knows exactly what to expect from either a digital or letterpress technique when it come to your announcements.
I have seen some amazing photo birth announcements produced like this for new parents and it really helped resolve many of the headaches of dealing with the stationery part. The photo really adds a new dimension to the standard announcement and worth considering. This gives you time to focus on more important things like the baby name and getting the baby room all set.
Remember too that the birth announcements will give your friends and family a snap shot of your tastes and the announcement should play into that as well and be as tasteful as possible without going over budget. You might even want to coordinate the announcements along with the baby shower if you had one. It isn’t required but might add a nice touch for those who attended. Be sure you get all the details you want to make these the most unique baby announcements and don’t overlook anything. Typos can be problematic but if you plan it early as I suggest, these should all be taken care of by the time they are finalized. More importantly, just be you and relax during this whole process!

If you are one the many that send Christmas cards each year then this Christmas promises to offer many new designs that will have you clamoring for your wallet. There are really two aspects that you can look at when you decide to order. Those options are letterpress Christmas cards and digitally printed photo Christmas cards. We won’t get into handmade, but that is always an option!
But seriously, if you are really looking for a nice card you could choose either process and they would look wonderful. The question is how much do you want to spend and how quickly you need them. Of course, during peak holiday rush nothing is going to be fast, but if you are prudent, you can get the earlybird discounts prior to the rush and also get a nice discount.
I know Page Stationery is offering 10% off on their Christmas photo cards until October 1, 2011 and some shipping incentives as well. Their new line of digital photo Christmas cards is going to be spectacular. Worth a look!

What better and easier way to spice up your relationship be it young or old than to use a hand written card that says I love you and turns your words into a romantic lullaby to your significant other.
There’s only one way to do that and that is the love note. Perhaps the best love note is one that is short and sweet and romantic of course!
The cards don’t have to be store bought, they can be hand written on a torn piece of paper or it can be funny and whimsical. Whatever your made your spouse like you in the first place. There was something there, a spark, your laugh, something. This card should should remind them of that special quality about you.
Love notes are more than just about sexy encounters, they can be very helpful with couples falling in love or couples who have fallen out of love and want to reignite that spark or renew vows.
Wouldn’t it be neat if you planned a getaway together and surprised her about it with a love note she found in her purse or in the mail? You bet it would. Love messages like these are even recommended therapy these days by doctors like Dr. Laura Berman and others. Just watch her TV series on OWN and you will see what I mean. Most importantly, have fun with your love notes and things go where they will!

In this modern and technological world, many individuals seem to have forgotten the art and beauty of letterpress birth announcements. Many are turning to more modern forms of printing, like digital printing, or even foregoing sending out paper announcements altogether; they are using email and social networking websites instead. While digital printing can create a unique announcement, if you want a priceless keepsake you can actually hold onto, you may want to consider the traditional appeal of letterpress.
History of Letterpress
The invention of letterpress printing began in the 15th century, when a man named Johannes Gutenberg developed the first printing press. This printing press used the same kind of technology as a grape press, which was used to create wine. Before this, wood block printing was used, so the invention of this new printing method was important because it was quicker and cheaper. The printing plates were also reusable, which made the printing press easier to use. With this type of printing, the art of movable type was not longer something only certain individuals could do; anyone could use one of these presses.
Throughout the years, this type of printing has continued to be improved. In the old days, a light impression, or a “kiss,” was desired for letterpress wedding invitations and other types of invitations, business cards, and announcements. With the invention of digital letterpress plates, a new, deeper kind of impression that individuals were searching for was introduced. The look and feel of this more modern printing method created more interest during the last few years for letterpress stationery.
