15% Off Page Stationery

I just got an email from Page Stationery announcing  a great offer of 15% off of letterpress orders to be applied to quantities of 75 or more!  This is a wonderful offer from a company that doesn't often have sales.  Page is truly one of my favorite vendors.  I love their clean designs and amazing craftsmanship.  So if you are in the market for stationery, birth announcements, wedding invitations or anything you would like letterpressed -

now is the time to order!

Easter's On It's Way!

The other day a friend of mine invited us to Easter brunch at her house - which made me realize Easter really will be here before we know it.  We have so many great Easter invitations as well as pretty spring invitations.  We also have some great goodies for Easter baskets at the store right now. 

It doesn't get much better

Easter + Brunch = perfection (in my book).  

TGIF

It has been a week!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

Can't say I have any exciting plans and I know I won't be drinking any green beer, but it will be nice to have a

weekend break with nice weather.

I'm sorry I've been so negligent this week blogging.  In addition to a number of wedding invitations we've been working on this week, we've also been busy working on a bride's wedding accessories.  We're working on her menus, table numbers, maps and notes for when guests arrive at the hotel.  It is so fun to work on all of the small details that make a wedding so special.  It is also time consuming - so that's why I've been negligent. One other note of interest, working on menus is actually kind of torturous to me because it makes me hungry when I read them...

I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

PrintsWell Special

We have so many vendors that are

running specials right now it is hard to keep up!  

This morning I got an email from one of our vendors, PrintsWell, that does a lot of birth announcements with digitally printed baby photos.  They are currently offering 30% off baby shower invitations AND birth announcements.  This offer is good through April 2nd - so you have a month to take advantage. 

We also have the Crane & Co. special that will run through April 2nd as well.  The Crane & Co. special applies to stationery, invitations, save the date cards, birth announcements and even wedding invitations.  Click HERE to reread the post about the Crane & Co. sale. 

We Have William Arthur!

I am SUPER excited to announce that Hayden Avery now carries William Arthur!  We have their personalized albums - wedding vol. I, wedding vol. II, stationery, business, social occasions and baby.  In addition, we have a wide variety of their boxed goods.  

William Arthur has been creating fine custom social stationery and invitations for over 60 years.  Their card stock is milled in the United States and is 100% acid free.  They offer flat printing, digital printing, thermography, engraving and letterpress printing options.  They are a fine company and we are thrilled to have them at Hayden Avery.  Even if you are not in the market for any stationery or invitations, you ought to stop by and take a look!

Wedding Invitation Impact

When our mother's got married there was really only one kind of wedding invitation.  It was Crane & Co. (as they happen to be the oldest stationery company in the United States) and was usually white or ecru card stock with black ink.  Now the sky is the limit for wedding invitations.  There are so many companies, designers, printing processes, ink colors and looks.  Most brides that have come in recently want something "different" and "whimsical".  Don't get me wrong - I love helping to design fun wedding invitations.  However, I think that a really traditional wedding invitation makes such an impact now that there are so many options.  I was so happy to see this wedding invitation (which I'm sure is a Crane & Co. invitation) on Style Me Pretty today.  The whole wedding appears to be lovely as well.
