This wedding had a unique setup where guests met a This wedding had a unique setup where guests met at the pineapple fountain and then boarded trolleys to the ceremony site. So the couple came up with the idea to have these adorable trolley cards letting guests know which trolley to board. We were so thrilled with how they turned out!

A fun way to do seating assignments is to do littl A fun way to do seating assignments is to do little envelopes with the guests’ names on them.  Inside the envelope, you have insert cards with the table assignment. The major bonus this method provides is flexibility - it’s as simple as moving insert cards around to rearrange the seating, right up to the last minute!

Just back from an amazing spring break trip on the Just back from an amazing spring break trip on the @disneycruiseline Treasure! Never thought we’d end up enjoying cruises, but this was our second one and I will say that, especially when you have younger kids, it makes for a relaxing vacation. There are so many decisions to be made in our daily lives as adults/parents, so it’s really nice to just take a lot of that out of my day. Tell me where to be and when and you’ll feed me dinner? I’m in! 😂

Now that said, am I very very excited to get back to my house and some personal space and some plain old boring food? Yes. 1000000%. It’s all about balance! 

This was the seven day western Caribbean cruise that went to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Castaway Cay.  We use a planner (@dishingondisney) who’s amazing and I highly recommend!  If you have any questions, drop me a comment and happy to share!

That said, they don’t have to be over the top! This simple double sided program ties in the other stationery elements beautifully.

It’s always fun to look back and see where we star It’s always fun to look back and see where we started to see a new trend begin. This suite is one of those! The fun colors for inserts and the shape of the reply card were definitely trend setting - these days, the shapes and colors being included in custom suites are endless and we love it. So much room for creativity!

The variety of colors, shapes, patterns, and textu The variety of colors, shapes, patterns, and textures across all of our clients right now is SO MUCH FUN. When we first started, it was “wild” enough to do an invitation with art on it at all (i.e. breaking from an all black and script invitation). 

16ish years on, though, every order is so full of detail and personality. It’s a lot of fun but also important to remember that all that extra detail takes time! We are printing and cutting and tying as fast as we can while of course being sure it’s all perfect. We can’t wait to show you more!
