At a time of year when many couples are celebrating their engagement, many are looking for fun ways to announce their news & their date to their immediate friends and family. Call us old fashioned but Facebook just doesn't cut it! Depending on the length of your engagement you can opt for an engagement announcement, save the date card, or even a wedding announcement if you chose to elope and want to announce the nuptials.

Here are a few cute ways to spread the news!

Keep in mind, announcements like these do not have to correspond with your wedding theme as you may not have even defined what your theme is yet at this stage of the game. If you already have your theme in mind, or would like to create one from scratch and want to work with a local designer you can head over to The Idea Emporium and get started on branding your wedding!

Custom graphics and monograms are key when keeping your wedding details cohesive and personable, and we would like to bring this service to you in a easy and affordable way. What is your style? Traditional with classic flourish designs and neutral tones, or modern designs with clean lines and dramatic patterns? Start with an egagement announcement if you want to spread the word but don't have a date yet. When you have found the perfect date for your event, move on to the Save-the-Date cards using your engagement pictures and use this opportunity to introduce your theme to your guests.

Wondering where to start? Once you let us know you are interested in having graphics created for you, we can work with you on finding the colors and designs you like. We can save you time by sending both digital and hard copy proofs for your approval, and when we reach the final product you recieve a digital copy of your designs for you to take to the printer of your choice. We set the size and resolution of the images to your needs, and assist you in finding a print shop in your area.
