New Panel Pocket Designs

The panel pocket invitation has been popular with brides who are trying to watch their budget.  If you like pocket folds (but not the price) the panel pocket is a nice alternative.  You still get the pocket, but a smaller price tag.  Here are some new designs from this month.

Need people’s mailing addresses for your invitations?



Need people’s mailing addresses for your invitations?  Luckily you now have Postable!  I was so excited when I discovered this new website.  With Postable you can create a complete, secure, up-to-date Address Book in less than a minute.

Even though emailing is our main form of contact these days, I still recommend sending your wedding invitations the old fashion way – through the mail. That means you are going to need everyone’s mailing address. It’s an easy solution to gather all those mailing addresses. Best of all it is totally private, secure and do not forget FREE.   It’s also great for baby showers, birth announcements, holiday cards & even just knowing where your friends live.

How it works: Postable gives you a personal link (postable.com/YourName). You send this link to your friends and  family. They fill out a 10 second form and your address book magically fills with up-to-date info for everybody. No more months of tracking people down. Export contacts to Apple Address Book, Outlook, Gmail, Excel, and even print mailing labels. So incredibly easy and such a great solution. Start gathering addresses now with Postable!  ww.Postable .com
