Customized Papers and Stationary

One thing I'm really itching to make is some customized stationary for us as a family with our new address and a little sketch of our house. I think there is something so special about getting something in the actual MAIL. I know that time is precious and many of us have far too little of it, but it's the little things that make people feel special and customized stationary or invitations is something that can be done cheaply and easily with photoshop, illustrator, or even rubber stamping. If you want to get really fancy (I do) then you can even silk screen.

Here are a few things we've made this far.







These were for our wedding, obviously. I came across them today when clearing some files from my work computer. We edited the invitation tons more after this and it was eventually was sent in a foldout pocket style invite that had several pages inserted, including directions, a photo of us, and an illustated gerbera daisy which Sean drew that was the theme of our wedding. It's so special to personalize these elements. Gerbera daisies are the flower that Sean has always given to me and the font we used on all our wedding details (Elephant best font EVER) is OUR font now and we are using it for our new business logo as well.

We also used it on our Christmas postcard this year.


You can print from home or make nice with a local printshop and with a little time and effort go way beyond the generic for not a lot of money.
