Birdcage Wedding Invitation on recycled card
Today I am going to show you Jodie and Scott’s Little Bird invitation. Their invitation ensemble is an extension of their Save the Date card below…
We created their wedding invitations in the same colours (Fuchsia and Mocha) and the same font as their save the date card to keep their invitation suite consistent. The Little Bird in a birdcage now hangs from a branch featuring Jodie and Scott’s initials carved in it. The Wishing well card also carries the theme with a smaller version of the invitation branch and this time “Wishing Well” was carved into the branch.
Jodie and Scott wanted to give their guests some extra information with Accommodation suggestions and Transport details. We custom designed this card and used a smaller version of the birdcage decal to split the wording between the accommodation and transport information.
All cards were printed on our 100% recycled card which has a lovely flecked look to it. If you look closely you can see it in the image below..

Lego inspired Party Place cards
A corporate client contacted us to create some place cards for an upcoming event. The focus of their conference is on renovating with a hint of the TV series ‘The Block’. With this in mind I immediately knew what I wanted to create for them.
Let’s bring in some fun and colourful lego blocks, perfect for the renovating theme!.. (I think the sky blue blocks are my favourite lego block colour)
and then we need names right? so everyone knows where to sit. . . 
We wanted to make sure the names were clear on each card and that the design was simple yet unique. So let’s join them together! After conducting a couple of stability, strength and name visibility tests, we had the perfect combination.
Aren’t they fun? I can just see the conference guests sitting at their tables creating little architectural masterpieces from their place card lego.

DIY Tutorial – Personalised Cutlery
When having a party or celebration, it’s always the little personal touches that really help pull together the overall theme and add that little unique spark. For something easy and inexpensive, stamp your cutlery! Yes you heard me correctly, personalise your cutlery with stamps! Aren’t they cute!
This works perfectly with wooden forks, knives and spoons, you can stamp them with anything you like or even personalise for each guest and they are perfect for kids parties too!
Let’s get started!! First to the shopping list:
You will need:
Wooden cutlery (we found ours at Emerald & Ella)
Alphabet stamps
Stamper (to attach your wording to)
Ink Pad
What Next?
Make up your stamp, remembering that you need to make it backwards. You will want to test it out first before stamping your cutlery, because if you are like me then you have put at least one letter back to front!
Testing the stamp will also give you an idea of where you need to press heavier or if you have places where the stamp gets too much ink and gives you marks. See the black across the top of the letters in the image above? For me this was coming off onto the test sheets so after I inked the stamp I then needed to clean part of the stamp with a tissue before applying it to my wooden forks, like this…
and then STAMP! and you have this…YAY! So cheap to create and fun to stamp and best of all you have your own personalised cutlery for your special occasion which needs no washing up! (hooray!) Happy Stamping!

Destination Wedding – Custom Postcard
Sarah came to us with a vision for Save the Date postcards for her and Richard’s wedding. We worked with Sarah’s design and colour palette to create a simplistic design with a lot of sentiment. Sarah and Richard selected a variety of places that are special to them to feature on the front of the postcard, places where they have lived, visited together or hold a special meaning. With a black and white colour palette this is a simplistic yet very personalised design.
We printed lines on the back for their guest addresses and left space so they can personalise each postcard for their individual guests, add a stamp and it’s their own destination postcard! Happy Planning Sarah and Richard!
