Testimonials
I had an amazing experience with Puddle Jumpin Cards. Sunny was professional, helpful and produced beautiful and memorable designs. The wedding invitations she created for our wedding were so amazing and fit my husband and me. We have received many compliments on the simple, but elegant design. I would HIGHLY recommend using Puddle Jumpin' Cards for any of your invitation needs!!!
Ali & Jeremy - 12.31.2010
The invitations were beautiful. They were exactly what we wanted, simple yet elegant and fun. We had no worries about getting our cards in time; they arrived at least a month before we were ready to send out the invitations! Sunny was also very great to work with. Although we live on the other side of the country, communicating our vision was not an issue. Sunny listened to our ideas, emailed rough copies, and was very flexible if we wanted to add or change something. You will not be disappointed going with Puddle Jumpin' Cards. Her attention to detail and creativity shine through each invitation. My only regret is that I didn't have her design my thank-you note cards.

Testimonials
Paper Bloom was such a wonderful find! Recommended by my wedding planner (Champagne, who are FABULOUS!), I knew Lindsay would be great. She, however, went WAY above and beyond the call of duty with my projects. I had a very specific vision in my head, and as you brides know, we don’t stop until we get what we want! Lindsay graciously assisted, tweaked and made great suggestions throughout the creative and review processes. The menu’s, wine bottle wraps, placecards and programs she created were all flawless and intertwined beautifully. Everyone at the wedding commented on the quality and overall classy touch all of Lindsay’s elements made. They added that final touch of elegance to the evening, and I am truly grateful to Lindsay for her sheer talent and professionalism. Paper Bloom will make any vision you have in your head come true, at a price that won’t break that wedding budget. This is a VERY highly recommended vendor, by a very picky bride!

You got engaged... Congratulations! Now, how to let everyone know... and how to invite them to the wedding?

Save the Dates

'Save the Dates' have replaced the traditional announcements of years past and are an extremely popular way of spreading the good news of your engagement.

Their design can vary from a more classic, letterpressed card to fun and whimsical magnets featuring your favorite engagement portraits. In general, we recommend sending your save the dates soon after the wedding date is chosen and set. Remember to hire your photographer if you're going to use a professional engagement photo. This timeframe is generally between 4 - 12 months before the wedding day, which gives your loved ones plenty of time to plan.

Invitations

One of the hottest trends in recent years is to create a theme for your wedding day and then integrate that theme throughout your invitations, color palette, decore, and even your cake! Your invitations set the tone for your wedding and can be the first introduction of your theme to your guests. Here are 7 things to consider when designing your invitations:

  1. What is your color palette or theme?
  2. Will it be formal or casual?
  3. What type of printing will you be using?
  4. Will you be creating a wedding logo or monogram? Using a specific font?
  5. Will you hire a professional to create your invitation or are you planning on designing, researching paper stocks, printing, cutting, folding, assembling, embellishing, addressing, and mailing them yourselves?
  6. How many invitations will you need?  Make sure postage is in the budget!
  7. If you are doing large quantities, look into special effects like metallics and letterpressing.  Large orders will often qualify for bulk pricing which makes special options cost effective for big weddings.
