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.

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.

2012 Wedding Trends

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and love is in the air.  This time of year, many couples get engaged so it’s important to know what this year’s wedding trends are!

According to The Knot, the Top Wedding Trends for 2012 are as follows:

Wedding dresses – Fairy tale style wedding dresses are in this year.  Light and airy, mysterious but sexy is stylish and hip.  Thanks to influences such as “Twilight: Breaking Dawn”, long sleeves and lace dresses are also in!  While strapless dresses will always be popular, this year will bring more long sleeves but with a sexy touch, of course, including sheer backs.

Flowers – Fairy tale stories also have a very big influence on flower trends.  Think of the forest in Snow White or Little Red Riding Hood..  Soft, decadent flowers filled with roses, peonies and dahlias.

Wedding Décor - Watercolor prints and pastel colors such as purples and pinks are hot this year.  Lace is also very popular. From  Wedding Invitations to wedding day decorations like table linens and room décor, don’t be surprised to find lace, watercolor prints and pastel colors everywhere.

Wedding Photography – Photography trends are going back to the basics.  Instead of photos taken from cool angles and with soft or star-filled filters, the trend is to shoot more formal and classic ‘turn-of-the-century’ inspired wedding photos.  The newest-hippest type of photo is the cool panoramic shoot that includes all the wedding guests and the bride and groom in front, usually taken from a balcony looking down on the guests.  This is a great shot to use for wedding thank you cards too!

Country Themed Weddings – How does getting married in an old barn sound?  With post and beam ceilings, exposed wood tables and chairs and big, old-fashioned chandeliers and dark, ambient lighting?  Lace wrapped flowers such as wild roses, lilies of the valley and gardenias add that extra special touch.   Popular entrees include wild duck and spiced venison.
