Thoughtful Expressions

New Line of Favors!

2009-05-13T08:51:00.000-07:00

I am happy to announce a new line of favors added to Thoughtful Expressions. They are quality designer favors that follow latest trends. Most of the favors ship in 1-3 business days, personalized favors take a bit longer.

Also, don't forget our line of Personalized Candy Bars. The catalog is available to view online, and they are great for weddings, showers, parties, and business. Not only can we put candy bars in the wrappers, we can do packs of trail mix, and other various items that fit the size. The price runs about $1.75 per bar, depending how many you order. Wrappers are available to purchase without the candy as well. Make sure to check them out.

Making Your Own Invitations

2009-05-12T11:04:00.000-07:00

Cutting wedding day costs, and finding budget friendly ways to do it can sometimes be tricky. Brides do not realize that professionally printed invitations do not have to break the budget, and often do not cost that much more than homemade ones.
EXAMPLE:

*Homemade $1.00 per 100= $100.00
(This only includes paper & envelopes)
* Professionally Printed Invitations & Envelopes with Printed Return Address
starting at $1.04 per invite=$103.80
** Approximate savings of only $3.80 to print your own!

Other expenses to print your own can include ink, software to print fonts and graphics you wish to use, and you may also need labels.

Finding enough paper components that match (invitation, respond, reception, direction cards and envelopes), finding time with all the rest of the planning, and the error potential are all reasons why making your own invitations is not an easy task. All brides are looking for a unique invitation that matches their taste, and you can definitely find it through a professional without breaking the budget.

Economical Invitations

Seal N Send Invitations and Sep N Send Invitations are two economical ways a bride and groom can send invitations. I wish I would have gone this route when I was getting married, my brother and sister-in-law used these invitations, and they saved a lot of cash. They are inexpensive, and they usually only use a first class stamp on the invitation and a postcard stamp on the reply card. Visit McPhersons page on my website to look at the different options they have. Remember we do offer discounts, so be sure to inquire.

Howell Opera House Bridal Show

2009-04-01T07:43:00.001-07:00

Welcome to Thoughtful Expressions. It's that time of year again! Spring Bridal Shows are everywhere, and thank you to the brides that attended the Howell Opera House Show. I am very excited about the new items Thoughtful Expressions has added. Favor Cakes, and the new Coffee Bags are a great idea for favors. The best thing about a favor cake is that it can double as a centerpiece and a favor to save money! Be the first one to post on my blog and win a flower girl basket. Thanks and good luck with your planning!
