Save the Date Cards

A few weeks ago we launched our 2010 collection of Save the Dates, just in time for those holiday engagements! Below are a few of our favorites!

The new collection also features quantities as low as 8 and you can order additional quantities of 8, no more sets of 24! Plus, there are a few smaller sized cards which are GREAT for smaller sized wedding budgets! Save the Dates have never been more stylish and affordable!

Elegant Swirls -- Save the Date

You pick from Aqua or Gray for the top portion, and then YOU get to pick the entire bottom color, choosing from over 30 colors. No more problems trying to match your wedding colors! Starts at $6.99 for 8!

She Said Yes -- Horizontal Save the Date

This card, which also comes in a vertical option, allows you to choose from three messages for the front and from over 30 colors for the back! Starting at $7.49 for 8.

Meant to Be -- Save the Date

Truly unique, you won't find a Save the Date like this anywhere else! You choose from over 30 colors for the back. How fun is this? (might be my favorite)

See the rest of the new Save the Dates today! (and if you know someone that's engaged, spread the word!)

brand new Save the Date!

I JUST saw this Save the Date come back from product design yesterday and I am IN LOVE. I had it up on my third screen (yes, three...another illness of mine) all day yesterday so I wanted to share it with you all, too! It's part of our new Save the Date sticker series we're creating, the little heart you see is a sticker that the recipient can peel off and place right on their calendar. SUPER adorable. Comes in 5 different color combos. I can't wait!

Pear Tree Greetings has Wedding Invitations!

I mean, wedding invitation. With a BIG promise of many more wedding invitations to come. But I was too excited to not share our first wedding invitation.

Here it is...

Classic Impression - Wedding Invitation

Isn't classy...but modern? Comes in 8 different colors from the black one above to grape and merlot and navy and more. You can change the text and font to any of our popular Pear Tree Greetings colors and fonts. I truly wish I had these when I was getting married. From what I can see...these are the only quality wedding invitations (seriously, you will be shocked at the weight and thickness of our paper stock), stylish wedding invitations (what bride doesn't want her wedding to be beautiful?) and the best part, affordable wedding invitations. Pretty hard to beat. I could probably go on and on...but I should tell you about the coordinating pieces, too!

The response cards...

Graduation Thank You Cards

So, you’ve graduated. You’ve had your open-house party. Now what? Undoubtedly, you have been given a variety of gifts, including checks and cash and cards, from family members and friends who helped you celebrate your graduation. So now is the time to thank them for their kindness and their support.

How do I go about it? you might ask. There’s no one way, but here are a few suggestions for thanking everyone who has been there for you during your graduation.

Step 1: Thank people in person, if possible, especially those who make it to your open house. Then, send a thank you card at a later date to show your full appreciation.

Checkered -- Olive Photo Thank You Card

Step 2: Make a list of everyone you invited to your graduation and open house. Most likely this will mirror, or at least be close to, your list for thank you cards.

Collage -- Navy Thank You Card

Step 3: Choose a thank you card design that fits both you and your budget. Thank you cards come in many different styles, from those featuring school colors to more trendy colors to those that even feature your photo. Also consider choosing thank you cards that match your graduation invitations.

Stand Out -- Merlot Photo Thank You Card

Step 4: Re-check your list to make sure you have included everyone who has given you a gift or attended your grad party. It is a good idea to have someone write down exactly what each person gave you while you open the cards and gifts. This way you don’t have to rely on your memory. Don’t forget about other important people in your life, coaches, teachers, etc.

Stand Out -- Lipstick Photo Thank You Card

Step 5: Within each thank you, write a personal note for the recipient. Even something simple will suffice, but any personal touch shows that you care and appreciate the gift-givers kindness.

Spring Bliss -- Stainless Thank You Card

Step 6: When sealing the thank you cards, re-check to make sure you have enclosed the right card in the envelope with the corresponding address. You wouldn’t want to send the card to the wrong person!

Primary Dots -- Orange Photo Thank You Card

For a finishing touch, choose have your envelopes professionally personalized to save a ton of time or check out the fun collection of Personalized Address Labels. Many of our graduation invitations have matching address labels available!

Have fun with it!

Custom Wedding Thank You Card

Connie from Texas shared her wedding thank you card that she created using holiday cards from Pear Tree Greetings. What a great idea! Here's her card.

9208656_2_1_prod

Connie took one of the 4x8 Photo Cards - Create Your Own, found the pattern she liked, uploaded her photos and created a beautiful thank you card. This layout in particular, Dynamic Duo, works perfectly for a wedding thank you. The delicate design for your text makes for an elegant look. Congrats Connie, you looked beautiful on your wedding day!

Do you have any great tips or ideas? Send them to me at christy@peartreegreetings.com and if we select to publish your content we'll give you a $25 gift certificate to Pear Tree Greetings! Connie's card will be featured in our monthly newsletter, too. Sign up for our monthly newsletter.
