Christmas Card Addressing

It's that time of year again....

Time to start making your Christmas list. Let me help you take care of one of the more time-consuming tasks - addressing all those Christmas cards! 

It's so easy! Many of you are choosing to send photo cards to your friends and family. When you order your cards, just have them shipped to me. Send me your address list, and I'll get right to work! I'll even mail them for you (for a small fee and the cost of stamps)!  If you prefer to use traditional cards, just send me your envelopes, address list, and we'll work together to share your Christmas greetings.

So, let's start checking off that list. Contact me today and we can get the process started!

New Business Cards!

They're here!  My new business cards have arrived from VistaPrint.  There are so many cool things offered on their site, yet most everything is very affordable.  The most cost-friendly items have some limitations (like what I chose), but still get the job done.  Now it's time to get them out into the world!

Helpful Hints

• Etiquette Counts!    When it comes to formatting addresses, there can be many questions. Carrie Shuping has written a wonderful guide ("No Regrets") that will help answer most any question you may have on the subject.

• A little elbow room.   When ordering envelopes or place cards, please remember to order an extra 10 for every 100.  Traditionally, you should send out your wedding invitations 4-6 weeks before the big day. Ordering invitations and envelopes should be done at least six months prior to your wedding date, if possible. 

• Spell Check is your friend.  Remember to spell check your lists before sending them to me. Lists need to be in alphabetical order. I can provide you with a simple spreadsheet to use, if you would like. Have someone go over the list with you to make sure you did not leave off a name, title, or zip code. Double and triple check those lists!

• Organizing your list alphabetically.  You never want to accidentally miss having someone important on your list because you were not as organized as you could have been.  It's also easier for the both of us if I happen to have a question about a specific entry if we are not having to fumble through every page trying to find the right name. Here's a little hint on how to create an alphabetized guest list on Excel. There is one extra step that you must take. You must designate the very first column as "Last Name" only. It is this step alone that allows you to alphabetize your guest list. With that format, you can easily sort your lists by the first column after adding new entries.
