Seating Charts

Thu, 06 Jul 2017 13:56:51 +0000

One of biggest questions I get asked about reception stationery is about seating charts and arrangements. Where do you place them? Typically in the entry way of the seating area, outside the tent or room if it’s a more intimate space. Make sure it’s easy to see and read. Escort cards can also be a fun creative way to show guests to their seat! What style is best? That depends on your budget, full seating boards will WOW your guests, look beautiful in a frame and give us some creative play, while smaller cards pinned on a frame or board can give your reception some personality. Whatever you decide, know it will be a lot of tedious work and planning who to sit where, so try not to stress! We can help you with the creative part and even the frame rental if you need one.

Saying thank you from the heart

Wed, 14 Jun 2017 16:13:09 +0000

If you’ve ever received a thank-you note in the mail you know that there is nothing better than knowing a loving gesture or gift was truly appreciated. Expressing gratitude with a thank you card creates a more personal connection that you don’t get with emails and text messages. I personally have a collection of thank you notes on my bulletin board in my office. Whenever I’m having a rough day, I look at those notes and all the positivity and grateful words make me remember why I love doing what I do. Below I’m giving you a few short tips on how to write the perfect thank you note. Address the note with care by writing “Dear _____, “ Express what you are thanking them for in detail. Explain how much you appreciate what they did for you or gifted you, what you love about it and how to plan to use it. Use the note as a way to re-connect with that person again, leave the communication open. Sign off in a loving and friendly manner. Say Thanks again, Sincerely, Best wishes..etc My last tip is to be sincere and write from the heart, you might just brighten someone’s day. Always […]

Creative Branding With Locusart Jewellery

Fri, 10 Feb 2017 02:34:05 +0000

Last spring I had the pleasure of connecting with a very talented and inspiring woman in the local wedding community. We bonded chatting about our boys (we both have 2 sons), our great love for weddings, supporting local and our creative passions. We soon discovered we didn’t grow up very far from one another, and we now enjoy the occasional coffee date and business chat. Emily’s work speaks for itself, you can feel her passion in each of her rings and her clients love her attention to detail and the sophisticated yet organic appearance to their heirloom jewellery. After completing our big design project this fall I asked Emily about her experience and business. Today I’m sharing it below as a little Q & A. <3 Enjoy Please take a moment and follow Locusart on Facebook and Instagram. Her stunning photography is created by Terri-Lynn Warren Photography What inspires you most in life and your business? Love inspires me. People’s capacity for kindness inspires me.

5 decisions to make before starting your invitations

Sun, 05 Feb 2017 18:29:59 +0000

Before you dive in and order your invitations, please read over these five important decisions you should make first. 1. BUDGET Determine which paper items you will be needing for your entire event. This needs to include anything from your save the dates and invitations to your programs, seating arrangement, and table menus. (see our stationery checklist for suggestions). You may desire a lot of items or just a few depending on the size of the wedding you have planned. If you are not sure how big of a budget you should allow for stationery, consult with a stationery designer (like myself) for guidance. Around 70% of your stationery budget will be used for your invitations, and don’t forget to include postage. 2. STYLE Make sure you decide on your theme and event style before you order your invites. Invitations are the first thing your loved ones will see before you walk down the isle so you want to make sure they reflect the day you have planned. Whether you are planning a formal church wedding or backyard affair you want to make sure your invitations suit your personalities and wedding style…your guests will notice the extra attention to detail. 3.
