Bridal Shower Invitations     Wedding Invitations      Reception Décor             Wedding Thank You Cards

They recently added some really cool new products and features such as:

  • Pearl paper – They added another paper option to many of their designs. This Pearl White Shimmer paper is made in Italy and adds a lustrous look. Absolutely beautiful!
  • Rounded corners – You now have the option for rounded corners on many of their cards as well as the component cards for wedding invitations…so pretty much all occasions (wedding invites/suites, save the dates, party invites, menus). These are really classy.
  • The Custom Type Collection – They just launched a typography-driven collection where you get to work one-on-one with a designer and totally customize the design to your specific needs. This is really cool. I know some of you are more “out of the box” than others, so let your creativity shine here!
  • More new designs – They just launched a bunch of new form factors to their top selling save-the-date (more magnets) and wedding invitation designs (more photo, folded, back designs). It’s hard to believe but they just keep adding new things.

This week through May 8, they are having a sitewide 25% off sale too. Just use the promo code 25WPD to get the discount.

Check out Wedding Paper Divas for all of their new features and designs and to take advantage of this sale.

Wedding Planning: Chic, Stylish Save the Dates

Can you believe it? Wedding season is fast approaching and it is time to send out your save the date cards!

Party Idea Pros recommends that if you are planning a destination wedding or intend to invite out of town guests, try to send out your wedding save the dates at least 4-6 months in advance.  This will give your guests time to take advantage of the best possible rates as they make their travel arrangements.

Even if most of your guests live locally, save the dates really do help to ensure your guests do not make other plans for your special day.  Although I am writing this in February, much of June is already spoken for and we have already booked travel for a few weekends in July and August.  Would we change our plans and cancel our tickets if invited to a wedding?  Absolutely –  however, not everyone would be willing to eat the cancellation fees and reschedule their vacations, especially if the whole situation could have been avoided if the bride and groom had simply sent out a save the date.

Now let’s assume the dates are set, the plans are being made, and you recognize it is important to let people know when the big day is.   Where should you begin searching for chic and stylish save the date cards and wedding invitations?  Wedding Paper Divas absolutely leads the way with Save the Date cards, calendars, and magnets. And this year, just in time, they have added tons of awesome new features and Save the Date items like these unique and stylish Circle Cards and Monogrammed designs (love ‘em!).

Elegant Blossom Save The DateTandem Romance Save The DateLovely Flight Save The DateBeautiful Love Save The DateTasteful Touch Save The Date

Calendars are fun and useful to potential guests. You can check all of Wedding Paper Divas’ calendars here. Some of my other favorites are what they call the “Romantic Tab : Smoke” Save The Date Postcard and the “Haute Heraldry : Black” Save the Date Card. But really they just have so many to choose from and everyone’s tastes are different, so check them all out.

What makes Wedding Paper Divas different? Before each each order is shipped it is hand reviewed (by a real live human! I should know – I messed up my own order and a kind and patient customer service representative walked me through all the needed changes) for any issues, so you’re guaranteed to receive high-quality cards.  Shop their Save the Date cards today. These cards are sure to impress family and friends.  If you’re a planner and early shopper, take advantage of Wedding Paper Divas’ 20% off your entire order (25% off orders of $149 or more) when you purchase Save The Date cards through 2/16/12. Just use PROMO CODE: WEDSAVE25.

 …

Finally, we must admit, even for us,  professional wedding planners, choosing a stationery style can get a bit overwhelming so it sometimes helps to see what others consider to be the most chic, the most stylish  save the date designs.  A you can see, todays brides are choosing photo cards that capture the story of the couple’s romantic journey.  This year’s most popular color palettes are grays and golds and other neutrals.  Choose photos that are simple and/or stylized — photos that tell a story, photos with what Tyra Banks would call “smizing” eyes!
