Cool Mom Picks

This has nothing to do with invitations but we LOVE this blog! As a mom and mom-to-be we appreciate all of the tips and finds these girls provide.

Check out the 2008 Holiday Gift Guide.

Devonshire Paper Company

We are so excited about our newest vendor, Devonshire Paper Company!

We couldn't resist their simple, unique designs and the photo quality and PRICES can't be beat. You can now view all of their Holiday and Birth Announcements on our website http://www.handmadebypink.com/ or contact us to set up a time to look at them in person. Here are a few of our favorite designs!

More digital birth announcements

We found an amazing printer at the National Stationery Show in NYC this year who offers digital printing. We could not be happier with the photo quality. Here are a few recent designs. Please contact us for custom ideas. Most digital photo cards are $2.25 each.

Check us out on Martha Stewart and Wedding Wire!

LOOK! You can now find us in the wedding section of www.marthastewart.com and www.weddingwire.com. Martha Stewart and Wedding wire have joined forces and are now the second leading wedding website behind the Knot.  We are really excited to have a presence here and hope that it will help connect us with more brides in need of custom invitation design services.

Please let us know what you think! Here are a couple of our favorite designs.

A Beautiful Bride

Jamie and David's wedding at the University Club was beautiful! The ceremony, held in the same room as the reception, was one of the most personal and heartfelt ceremonies I have ever attended. Another highlight was the red velvet wedding cake - amazing!


Pictures of Jamie and David's entire stationery suite will be on our website soon. Here is a one of the beautiful bride walking down the aisle with her father and a quick shot I took of their place card table.

Hello NYC!

We attended the National Stationery Show at the Javitts Convention Center in NYC May 18-20! It was even bigger and better than we imagined. It was a ton of fun to see what other companies are doing, meet vendors and figure out "how to do they do that?" We purchased two new albums and are excited to offer digital photo baby announcements and holiday cards! We should have the album in August and the images on http://www.handmadebypink.com/ shortly thereafter. We also purchased a beautiful album of thermography invitations at great price points! We'll post some photos soon!

The Today Show

We managed to have some fun while on our trip to New York City. We went to The Today Show and met Al Roker and Natalie Morales. Here are a few pics!

Photo Birth Announcements

Hello!

We are getting so many requests for custom photo birth announcements lately we thought we would show you one of our latest creations. As always, the photo makes the card. She is beautiful!

She said yes!

Congratulations Hannah! Hannah's sister Allison is throwing the engagement party and wanted something elegant and fun so we paired black with champange and added a little sparkle to the champange bubbles with the gold glitter glue. Cheers!

Hello 2008!

Happy New Year and thanks for checking out our blog! 2007 was a successful year for Handmade by Pink and we thank you for your business.
