Show your Style with Stationery

Stationery is a signature accessory that says something about your personality, your style and the special occasion you are celebrating. When selecting any card – whether it be a wedding thank you card or other thank you card, a birth announcement, wedding invitation, birthday party invitation, a photo card or graduation invitation or announcement, it’s important to select the card that is perfect for you.  Below are some tips about paper, ettiquete and wording that can help you pick that perfect card!

Thank You Cards
Never underestimate the impact of unique, high-quality thank you cards. Timing is important too.  Proper ettiquete says to send your thank you cards out preferably within two months of your event, but no later than one year after your event. Many people find it difficult to know the right thing to say in their thank you card greeting.  Use Photo Card Creation’s sample thank you card phrases to help you with the right wording.

 
Party Invitations
Celebrate your upcoming wedding, birthday party or anniversary or engagement with some unique party invitations.  Photo Card Creations loves parties.  From everything from planning to celebrating to cleaning up to the memories.  We have some fun ideas for creating cool party invitations that will set your style apart from everyone.  We realize the importance of setting the right tone for your party invites, which is why we offer dozens of invites for you to choose from.

Birth Announcements
Your photo birth announcements will be unique as no other card has the ability to capture the sense of wonder, innocence and dreams like the one that announces the arrival of your newborn. Photo Card Creations understands that. We offer dozens of birth announcement styles for girls, boys, multiples and adoptions, to ensure that your photo birth announcement captures everything you feel about your newborn bundle of joy.

Graduation Invitations & Announcements
Graduation is a great way to bring family and friends together to share a great success!   Photo Card Creations offers a variety of graduation invitations and graduation announcement designs and styles for you to show off your standout graduate and make your graduation invitations or announcements worthy of the celebration.

Photo Birth Announcements are becoming more and more popular as digital photography gains popularity and makes taking and processing photos that much easier!  Birth Announcements are a great way to share your happy occasion with your closest friends and family.  They are much nicer than sending an informal email with photo attachments or a non-photo Birth Announcement announcing the arrival of the newest addition to your family.  Enlisting the help of a professional designer and printer such as Photo Card Creations, will make creating your cards an easy and mindless task, during this joyful but busy & stressful time in your lives.  Announce the birth of your new baby boy, girl or multiples or the arrival of your newly adopted child with one of our custom photo birth announcements.

Personalize your cards with your baby’s name, stats and date of birth & add your favorite photo(s) for the finishing touches on your cards.  With the rollout of our new & improved website in the Fall of 2009, we introduced a brand new line of birth announcements for Boys, Girls, Multiples and Adoptions.  There are dozens of Photo Birth Announcements to choose from.  Check out some of our favorites below.....

Beautiful Beginnings" Folded Designer Card

"He's Here" Flat Designer Card

"Oh My" Folded Designer Card

All of our cards are printed using state of the art printing technology on thick, 100 lb. cardstock.   Our cards are designed using current trends & popular baby colors & artwork.  You can add your own personal touch by customizing the colors, the font style and the greeting on your announcements.  All of our photo cards are available with the greeting of your choice and one or more photos.  Our announcements with multiple photos are gaining more and more popularity as most people have a hard time choosing just one photo. 

Another thing to think about when ordering your custom Birth Announcements is hiring a professional photographer to photograph your new born.  Although most of us can take great photos with our digital cameras, there is a clear distinction between amateur and professional photos.  With expertise in posing, lighting and an artistic eye, a professional photographer can capture photos that even the best of us couldn’t capture!  For those of you in the NY metro area, we recommend Black Dog Photography.  They have studios in Hoboken, NJ and Mystic, CT.  Roy Thomas, owner of Black Dog, recommends waiting until your baby is at least 2 weeks old before having your professional baby portraits taken.  That way, you and your baby will truly have a chance to bond and your baby will have a chance to start to develop some of his/her features!  

Once you have selected your favorite newborn baby photos, contact Photo Card Creations to start working on your birth announcements!  You’ll receive your Announcements very quickly too.  Proofs (of your Announcement Card Layout) are received in 1-2 business days & orders are shipped 3-5 business days after you approve your proof.  At Photo Card Creations, we love paper & we love photos…..and we love creating cards with photos of your special memories!  We are passionate about providing exceptional quality products & customer service.  From Announcements & Invitations to Thank You Cards (and everything in between) let us help make your special occasion even more special!
