☞ Clean house: Take something off her to-do list by cleaning house, or handling any of the chores that others depend on her for. Keep it up, even after Mother’s Day.
☞ Set up a scrapbooking session: Better than digital! Buy a scrapbook, print off pics of a family trip or just a few favorites you know mom loves, then get to work. Not only will she enjoy the keepsake, but she’ll definitely love reminiscing.
☞ At home spa: Let her relax and focus on self-care. Set up an at-home spa…it could be a bath, an elaborate skincare routine, or a massage. Let her relax in a spa-like environment from the safety and comfort of her own home.

Wedding Stationery Checklist
Wedding stationery serves one of the most important purposes: to outline what guests can expect at your affair, from the invitation right down to the table numbers. It's a polite way of providing guidance along the way for guests. While all stationery is not necessary, keep in mind that it is a great way to make guests feel informed and included.
This wedding stationery checklist will outline everything you need (and don't need) for your wedding. From the necessary invitations to the all the coordinating extras, here is a complete wedding stationery list.
Engagement Party Invitations
Throwing an engagement party is the perfect way to announce your recent engagement. Engagement parties are optional, but for those who opt in, sending an invitation is a must. Your engagement party invitations don't have to be an exact match to your wedding invitations, but it's a good rule of thumb for the stationery to be reflective of your general wedding concept.
Bridesmaid Proposal Cards
This fun trend is certainly catching on! In addition to asking your BFFs to be your bridesmaid in person, some brides choose to make the event even more memorable with bridesmaid proposal cards or personalized gifts.
Save the Date Cards
Once you've set a date, it's time to send out save the date cards. All you'll really need to list are the bride and groom's names, the date and the city where the wedding will take place. Additional information such as the venue and the time of the wedding are omitted, even for destination weddings. Matching save the dates and invitations will help to create a look of cohesiveness. For those having a wedding near a holiday or with several out of town guests, it is a nice gesture to send save the date cards.
Bridal Shower Invitations
These do not have to coordinate with your wedding, and are typically less formal, so mix it up and have fun!
Bridal Shower Thank You Cards
After your bridal shower, it is customary to send a Thank You note to each guest for their generous gift. Be sure to collect addresses ahead of time from the bridal shower host. You may also want to designate someone to write down who each gift came from so you can properly express gratitude in your card.
Wedding Invitations
Whether they're fun or formal, wedding invitations are the single most important aspect of your wedding stationery. Every couple is unique. In fact, it is this coming together of two distinct personalities that makes marriage so special. Find invites for your theme and taste: rustic, retro, elegant and more.
Response Card (or RSVP)
Always include a separate response card with your invitation, even if you are requesting guests reply online. The information included on a response card should be the reply by date, a line for their name, a response (accepts/regrets) and a space for recipients to write in the number of guests attending. You may also want to include a meal option when needed and/or a line to list dietary restrictions.
Enclosure Cards
These cards are reserved for additional information guests may need to know, such as room blocks, reception information or a wedding website. Keep in mind that sending a full page of information to guests can be exasperating and recipients may not read it all the way through. Keep your enclosure cards brief by only including the basics. An easy way to break down a lot of information for guests is by including separate enclosure cards for each detail, such as accommodations, reception, etc.
ACCOMMODATION CARD
You may list room blocks on a separate accommodations card if you have a few options for guests to choose from or if you need more room than what is on the enclosure card.
RECEPTION CARD
Very formal wedding invitations will include reception information on a separate card. If your wedding and reception are at the same venue, this is typically not needed. However, if you are hosting a reception later in the day or at a different venue than the ceremony, it is a nice gesture to include a reception information on a separate card in order to outline all of the details.
REGISTRY
If you would like to indicate your registry information in a nice way to guests, you may include it on a separate registry card. A registry card is usually small, around business card size, and can easily be tucked into your invitation suite.
WEBSITE CARD
While a web address can easily be added to any enclosure card, some guests prefer to list it on a separate card.
Rehearsal Dinner Invitations
Though not a requirement, rehearsal dinner invitations make a lovely addition to your wedding paper suite. It is also the most effective way to spread the word about your rehearsal and gives guests a heads up on what to expect.
Bachelor/Bachelorette Party Invitations
It's likely that you won't be planning this one, but it is customary for the host to send out invitations. An invitation will be especially helpful for larger bridal parties and for any participant who lives out of town. These event cards can list the festivities surrounding your weekend, such as welcome cocktails, parties, and morning brunches. If you’re planning a destination birthday or bachelorette party, event cards are a great way to provide information to your guests about local hot spots and area attractions to help them make the most of their travel plans.
Ceremony Programs
A lovely way to include guests in the wedding festivities, ceremony programs not only outline what guests can expect (i.e. the order of the ceremony) but they also recognize bridal party members and other notable people in your wedding. Programs are not required, but they make beautiful keepsakes of your big day. Customarily, these will coordinate with your invitation suite.
Guest Book
A beautiful keepsake to commemorate the big day, guest books are a fun yet sentimental part of your wedding. It's a formal way for guests to write sweet notes or simply sign their name in support of your nuptials.
Seating Charts
If you have seating assignments, a seating chart is a must. These will list each table number, along with names of guests sitting at that table. An seating chart is usually one large sign with all table numbers and names of guests. It can have names grouped by table number (all names under each table) or alphabetically by last name.
Place Cards
Place cards are (as the name implies) placed on the table setting of each person. Generally, place cards only include the person's first name, but if you have guests with the same first name you may add a last initial to omit any confusion.
Table Numbers
For those who opt in to assigned seating, table numbers are a must to indicate where guests should go. You can get creative with these, but it is recommend for them to coordinate with your overall wedding concept.
Menus
Menus are a great way to really pull your tablescape together, and they're very purposeful in letting guests know what to expect. Whether you're hosting a sit down dinner or a buffet style affair, this is a great way to indicate to guests what's on the menu.
Wedding Table Thank You Notes to Guests
This is a somewhat new wedding trend! Instead of a menu (or in addition to), many couples are placing a sweet thank you note to wedding guests at each place setting. These are typically printed with the same message on each card and include the couples' new married name.
Wedding Welcome Bag Notes
It is considered a nice gesture to include a welcome gift bag for those who have traveled a long way to celebrate with you. You can leave them at the front desk of the hotel or offer them at your wedding rehearsal dinner. It is common to include a thank you note for guests traveling to celebrate with you, a timeline of wedding weekend events, things to do in the area and any other necessary details.
Wedding Welcome Bag Tags or Labels
As the name implies, these tags or labels adorn your welcome bag. You may choose a small hang tag or apply an adhesive label to each gift.
Wedding Signs
Wedding signs are a fun and informative element to add to your ceremony and reception décor. Ranging from small to large, these come in all shapes, sizes and styles.
Thank You Cards
The final piece of the wedding paper puzzle, thank you cards are most certainly a bridal "do". Have your new husband help out. You may choose to thank all guests who attended (whether they bring a gift or not), but it is definitely required to thank guests who brought a gift. Designate a person to help you remember who gave what so you can properly thank them in your note.
I hope this checklist has helped to relive some of the overwhelming stress that comes with wedding planning! While this list may seem like quite a bit of paper needs, it’s important to at least consider all of these items as you plan your big day! You might not need it all, but armed with all the choices, you can decide which stationery is best for you - and your guests.
New Year, New Brand
The new year is the perfect time for those who have been thinking about revamping their brand. You can use this opportunity to recalibrate business strategies, redesign the structure of your company, or simply edit your business’s logo. It may seem overwhelming at first, but rebranding will give your business a fresh look and new identity.
The new year is a great time to review everything about your business and begin with a clean slate. So, if you’re already considering reviewing and possibly changing other aspects of your business like your website, social media marketing strategy, and direct mail printing operations, then why not include your business card printing and design, too?
As a small business, it sometimes feels like you’re the little fish in the big pond. You want to stand out and make a splash, but you’re not sure how.
Updating your brand is key to surviving in an ever-changing marketplace, and will show your customers that you have what it takes to adapt to the market. Starting with your business cards is a great idea, as this is often the first thing they see about your company or brand.
After all, you don’t want to be just any company, but the company customers can go to when they need whatever product or service you sell.
Whether you’re a one-person-herd or part of a global corporation, growing a Brand is a choice:
It’s a choice to stand out and be remarkable.
It’s a choice to build meaningful customer relationships.
It’s a choice to innovate and cut your own path in your industry.
It’s a choice to attract customers and drive sales.
Here are a few tips that might come in handy while building an identity for your company.
1. Define the Purpose of Your Brand
The foremost thing to do is to define what your brand will stand for. If you look at every successful company, they have a strong mission that drives them. While defining your brand purpose, you need to answer questions like:
What is the problem you are trying to solve?
Why does your company exist?
Why should people trust you?
2. Identify Your Buyer’s Persona
Before you start selling your product, you need to determine your target audience. Who are your audiences, and what they do?
For instance, if you are selling baby products, your target audience would be mainly pregnant moms or new mums.
When brand building, you need to know who you are trying to reach. This will help you tailor your mission and marketing strategy accordingly. It will help you figure out the lifestyle and behavior of your consumers. You will be able to place your product in the market in a much better position.
3. Tell a Story
Storytelling is an art. People can easily connect to a brand with a story. It directly invokes positive feelings in their mind and starts trusting a brand. The same story will also help you create a brand voice. It will help determine how you want to communicate with your customers, and how they respond to you.
4. Build a Brand Logo and Tagline
One of the critical steps of brand building is creating a logo and tagline for your company. This is very important as your logo will appear on everything related to your business — packaging, marketing collaterals, digital business card, and more. A business logo is the visual recognition of your brand identity.
A brand is a relationship with your audience, and you’ll want to make sure that every interaction with them communicates your message. Let your company's visual brand stand out with custom business supplies. Do you know we carry coordinating business design suites?

So, what better way to kick off your business in the new year than with a new business card.

Easy Chai Tea Latte
This homemade Chai Tea Latte is incredibly simple to make at home. It’s warming, the perfect level of sweet, and you probably have all the ingredients in your cupboard already.
Ingredients
¼ cup filtered water
1 chai tea bag (Any brand will work, caffeinated or decaf.)
2 teaspoons (8g) granulated sugar (I call for granulated sugar in the recipe, but you can also use brown sugar or your favorite artificial sweetener.)
¾ cup milk any percentage (By default, Chai recipes use 2% milk preferred, but you can use any milk you’d like including non-dairy milks. The higher fat your milk, the creamier your drink will be.)
Cinnamon optional for topping
How to Make a Chai Tea Latte
In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Pour into an 8-ounce mug and steep tea bag for 5 minutes. Remove and discard tea bag. Stir in sugar. (To make a chai latte, you’ll make a quick chai concentrate, in this case, a very strongly brewed 1/4 cup of tea with sugar.)
Next, foam milk on the stove: While your tea steeps, pour milk into the pot and heat over medium heat until milk begins to steam (do not bring to a boil) whisk vigorously until foamy or use a handheld milk frother to froth milk.
Pour most of the milk into the tea concentrate, stirring to combine before adding in the last of the milk and foam, sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Serve and enjoy!
That’s it. Super easy, super quick, super good. Happy Fall Y’all!
Recipe Notes
If you make a lot of lattes at home and enjoy really foamy milk, I recommend purchasing a handheld milk frother. They are pretty inexpensive (typically $10-$20), work well, and are just fun to use.
If you typically prefer your coffee drinks less sweet, start with 1 teaspoon sugar and add more to taste.
This recipe makes a 1-cup (8-ounce) latte. If you want to fill an oversized cup, 1½ or double the recipe.
Bride’s Last Disco | Bachelorette Party
With the 1970s a solid half-century behind us, 70s music, fashion, and food are officially retro. And retro is always in, right? So if you’re looking for a trendy party theme in 2022, look no further!
A 70s theme gives you so much to work with. Whether you want to go full-on disco and make your guests feel like they’re stepping into Studio 54 or you want to go with a slightly more restrained cocktail party or dinner party with whimsical party food, bell bottoms, and mood rings, this bachelorette theme has it all!
Keep reading for tips to throw a killer disco themed bachelorette!
Invitations:
Every party needs an invitation to let guests know about a celebration. Let your girls know exactly what type of party they're in for with adorable custom bachelorette invites.
Decorations:
Decorations for this theme are really glamorous. Hello, glitz and glam! This theme is all about being as extra as you like. Here’s exactly what you’ll need for décor: disco balls , silver balloons, glitter confetti or sequins, and tinsel foil fringe. Disco ball cups and a polaroid camera elevate the funkiness.
The Outfit:
You might be thinking what do I wear? Go for a retro bride look; wide-leg jumpsuit styled with white booties and heart shaped sunglasses. For guests who don’t necessarily want to shop for a party look, they'll probably have something in their closet that will already work. For example, a wrap dress works perfectly as a way to commemorate Diane von Furstenberg's debuting her iconic wrap dress in 1974. Amazon has a nice selection, but you can also find costumes other places online. If you're willing to spend a little extra money and get a truly unique costume, go to a vintage boutique or consignment shop in your area and ask specifically for '70s disco outfits. You'll be surprised how many options they'll give you.
Menu:
You have a lot of room to be creative with your disco-themed party menu. 1970s food has become pretty notorious. But for what it lacks in nutritional value and flavor profile, it easily makes up for in fun. 1970s food is party food and snack food. You can go super easy and cheap or you can get really elaborate and spend a lot of time and money developing the perfect disco menu. The choice is yours, but here are some ideas to get you started.
Easy, cheap menu items (think roller skating rink):
hot dogs with cheesy fries
nachos
hamburgers
kraut dogs
macaroni and cheese
casseroles of various kinds
Jell-O molds
potato salad
Cocktails:
Old Fashioned
Strawberry Daiquiri
Jell-O shots

{School’s Out!} Summer Pool Party
Summer is almost here! Which means all the backyard BBQs, pool parties and block parties galore! The “School’s Out for Summer” party is the pinnacle of summer and your party is guaranteed to be a blast. Stock up on sparklers, cool treats and party snacks for a summer party no one will forget. Whether it’s a pool birthday party, the Fourth of July, or just an excuse to get family and friends together, pool parties are a perfect excuse for lots of fun in the sun. Here are some tips for throwing an epic pool party this summer:
Whether you are sending invitations to your pool party in electronic or paper format, make sure they are festive and attention-grabbing. The whole idea is for you to create invites that entice people to want to come to your pool party.
Part of making certain that your pool party is totally epic is to go crazy with the decorations. Go all out by decorating with tiki torches, colorful lights, and palm trees. The whole idea is for you to create a vibrant atmosphere and turn your yard into an oasis.
Regardless if you ask your guests to bring their own towel or not, it’s a good idea to have a towel station. People will be in and out of the pool and will want to be able to dry off -- especially if they need to go inside. Stock up on cozy towels and put them somewhere where everyone can see them.
To guarantee that your pool party is epic and that your guests have a wonderful experience, it is important that you provide a wide variety of amenities. Have a designated space set aside for people who want to change into dry clothes since some may not want to remain in wet clothes the entire time. Make sure there are comfortable lounging chairs so your guests can relax, and set up umbrellas for those who want to remain in the shade. Additionally, have sunscreen on hand for guests who forget to bring their own, and make sure bug spray is available so your guests can avoid being bothered by pests.
Since parties are relaxed, don’t worry about hosting an elegant dinner party. Instead, fire up the barbie and treat your friends to a BBQ. Not only are hot dogs and burgers easy and inexpensive, but they are guaranteed crowd-pleasers.
Serving fun drinks is a fantastic way to ensure that your guests remain hydrated and have a pleasant time. You can offer pop, electrolyte drinks, different flavored juices, and bottles of water. You can also offer alcoholic beverages. If you really want to go big, you can set up a tiki bar stocked full of supplies to make a wide array of cocktails. You can keep drinks in coolers packed with ice in lounging areas, and you can stock floating coolers for those who do not want to get out of the pool to get refreshments.
Pool parties are no fun when pool floats are lacking. To enable your guests to float on the water and relax in the sun, you must offer an assortment of pool floats. To make your pool party unforgettable, you need pool floats that are fun and appealing. Depending on your party theme you can fill your pool with customized pool floaties. If you have a unique theme for your pool party, wholesale floaties might not satisfy your need and will limit your creativity.
To thank your friends for coming, consider putting together a little goodie bag for them to take home. While it’s not required by any means, this extra step means a lot to your guests, and it doesn’t have to be anything crazy. One idea is to make simple candy packs -- you can fill them with Swedish Fish, Life Savers, and other beach-inspired tasty treats. For extra fun, place these goodie bags in a toy sand bucket with a shovel, over-sized sunglasses, bubbles, magnetic sand, etc. Since people are generally happy simply to receive a surprise, you don’t have to spend a huge fortune on extravagant gifts -- it’s the thought that counts the most!
Summer is finally here, and it’s time to make the most of the best months!
