Customizing the Kate Invitation

I have had so many different custom combinations for my Kate Invitation, it's hard to keep track of them all!  I do think it's more difficult for some people to choose and envision their colors, so I've put together a color list of my standard collection to help you choose!  (click on each photo for a larger view)

 

Visit my store:  littleladybugpress.etsy.com or email:  littleladybugpress@yahoo.com

for custom requests!  I also love doing custom work!

Stationery!

I've wanted for a while now to add versions of the cards I offer in retail stores, to my etsy store.  Since I can't sell those exact designs, I've done more simple versions in flat cards ....

Here's the first of many to come!

Christmas on Little Ladybug Press

As always .... this should have been done WEEKS ago!  I originally started Little Ladybug Press designing greeting cards and moved to invitations ... but still sell my cards through a little store in Peoria, Illinois - "The Hyacinth" (my Mother's store)

I thought for the holidays I'd offer a few limited edition designs!  Check out the store to purchase ... sold in sets of 5.  Square designs - 5x5". 

"Noel" Card

"Merry Christmas" Card

"May Your Days be Merry and Bright" Card

"Wishing You A Sweet Holiday Season" Card

.::Helpful Dates to Know::.

I found this timeline from TKG this morning and found it very helpful! Just a guideline!

It is typically recommended ordering and mailing your Save the Dates 6-12 months before your wedding. Invitations should be ordered 4-6 months prior to the big day and mailed approximately 8 weeks before (6 weeks is sometimes sufficient.) Programs, menus, place cards and table cards should be ordered 3-6 weeks before your wedding.

8 months before- create your wedding website
4 months before- finalize your guest list and submit for envelope printing or calligraphy
6 weeks before – send your wedding announcement to newspapers
3 months after- have all your thank you notes written and mailed

Return Address Printing

I recently had a customer ask for return address printing and came up with these samples! I'll be adding this to Etsy as its own listing soon on certain colors/styles...I think they look beautiful! This is a great alternative if you are doing labels to address your invites or sending your invites to have calligraphy addresses added.

The Kate Invitation Color Combos

One of the most popular combinations this wedding season has been purple and green ... here's a peek at one of my favorites!

Digital Companions!

I designed and released the Grey and Lime Menu several months ago and it was requested for additional pieces! To pair with the Menu is the invite and rsvp! Beautiful combo I think!
