Dove Place Card Frame

Using a little frame for your place cards is a great way to kill two birds with one stone.  Not only does it give you a stylish place card but also a lovely wedding favour that your guests can take home and keep.  You can then send them a little photo from your wedding for them to put in their frame.

There are a range of styles to choose from to fit in with your wedding theme. It is easy to print your own paper place cards to go inside or get of course most reputable wedding stationary companies can do it for you.

Curved Photo Frame

Artee Supplies has released their new perforated place cards sheets which we think are a great cost saving option for making your own place cards.  Each sheet has 6 scored place cards on each one which can be printed using a laser printer then separated.  The perforation is very fine making the edges look good and from 22 cents per card they are great value.

The range of colours is good and match most of the standard paper colours.  We have also tried to describe the colours in our product information to help you choose the right one for your wedding theme.

All the information on these sheets are on line, so if your printer can handle the job why not consider this product.

Hope the helps

Most couples spend a lot of time and money designing and planning their yummy wedding cake.  With so many great flavours available these days, we think that you have a great wedding favor idea that will not cost you heaps more money.

If you are not serving your wedding cake as dessert, then send your guests home with a lovely piece of cake.  This is a very traditional thing to do and we think there is nothing better than sitting down after a lovely wedding with a cup of tea and a yummy piece of cake!

You may find yourself running around at the last minute looking for a suitable cake bag.  There is a large range of cake bags on line or in our store. Just click on the link.

Ok, this is a real secret coming from the inner sanctum of the wedding industry…..my husband owns an event hire company specialising in weddings, and I can tell you that in winter it is a real struggle to keep the sales coming in.  He will do almost anything to get a sale for the winter months and even in September (think spring wedding!). This is the time to book your wedding. 

I have seen him discount up to 50% off the normal price of not only marquees, but also other items such as table, chairs etc .  But only at this time of year and just coming into spring, oh and Ok January is also pretty quiet as well, but that did so not come from me!

You may be thinking weather, but if you live on the east coast of Oz and look out the window on any of our lovely clear sunny winter days you will notice that there is very little rain at this time of year.  Also your makeup will definately not run, and your men will not swelter in their suits.

I also know for a fact that the same cashflow problems are happening for restaurants, decorators, florists and caterers.  I know this because after over 10 years in this business these are the people we speak to all the time, and we refer to this time of year as “baked beans season”, because this is what we are all eating.

Remember that no matter where you live the above information will be the case. 

Serious about saving money, have a winter or early spring wedding.  It’s as simple as that, you will save thousands!

Make sure that you design your invitations to fit into a standard envelope.  If your invitation is an unusual shape or is larger than a DL envelope you will have to pay more in postage.

You can save money on your invitations.  Even if you are not crafty you can still purchase a DIY pack (we have invitations from under $2.00) and print and them yourself.

Having the right printer is important as many of the shiny and translucent papers really need to be laser printed in order to stop smudging.  Many businesses have laser printers and you probably have one at work, so ask your boss if you can use the colour or laser printer after hours. 

It would be a pretty mean boss that said ”no” to you.  

Hope this helps save you some cash!
