MissNowMrs.com - A site every Bride should visit!

The wedding is over, thank you notes are being written, and now you are "oh so" looking forward to the hours and hours of searching the net to find all the docs to change your name. Why waste your time when there is a great service out there that will allow you to enter all your info into one form and pow, it will populate all the documents you need in moments!?!

MissNowMrs.com is a life saver! I used this service when I got married and it made the whole process a breeze! You pay a small fee, enter all your info, and press print! It's that easy. They even provide instructions on what to bring with you or where to send the forms that don't require you to be there in person.

They will also donate a percentage of the proceeds to the Breast Cancer Foundation and we at Fine Prints always love hearing that!

Check out the link below to see how this great site will save you loads of time and headaches.

Sarah Couture Bow Boxed Wedding invitations - Special Mailable Boxes





I love these "boxed" invitations! Most people are looking for something different then the normal run of a mill invitations to send to their guests and the trend is quickly swinging to boxed invitations. Boxed invitations are invitations that use a mailing box as part of the design. By coordinating with the colors of your event, your wedding invitations will be mailed in these boxes instead of envelopes. The couture bow invitations are really special because your guests will have to untie the bow that holds the invitation in the box, to see who is getting married!
The lid of the box holds the response card and envelope tied with a knot to secure it during travel.

These invitations are perfect way to include a holiday ornament, festive leaves and acorns, or crystal buckles, for example. The options are endless!

the Washington Bridal Showcase - Sept 13th, 2009


Thanks to all the Brides who stopped by our both on Sunday. It's always great to meet such excited people.

We had a great time telling people all about Fine Prints and custom stationery. We consider ourselves to be truly lucky to have so many Brides interested in custom invitations. So many in fact, that the booth was full of Brides most of the time. *Maybe we should look into a bigger booth next time* :-)

There were TONS of great vendors there to showcase their talents.

Here are some photos from the show.










































































Such a small world! At the Bridal Showcase on Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting Lori and her friend. Lori happens to be Natasha's Maid of Honor. The interesting part is Natasha lives in Florida. She found me on the web and we created uni...que boarding pass invitations for her wedding. Lori quickly glanced at my invitations and wanted to show her friend the "style".

Here is how the conversation went:
Lori to her friend: "Hey, take a look at these. They are the same style as my friends invitations.......wait, these ARE my friends invitations"

Me: "You know Natasha"

Lori: "I'm her Maid of Honor!"

Me: "Natasha, who lives in Florida"

Lori" "Yes. I had no idea she had her invitations made by someone in Virginia! I love the invitations and wanted to show my friend and then I realized these are hers!"

Such a small world. This is a photo of Lori and her friend pointing to Natasha's invitations to prove to the bride that they saw them at the show.

How cool is that?!?!
