			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all we would like to apologise for the blog being so quiet in the past few weeks &#8211; we decided to take a long-overdue summer holiday and then returned to the hectic summer wedding season so I&#8217;m afraid that our regular blog posts have taken a brief holiday too!  We are delighted to get going again with our wonderful wedding invitation &#8216;Design of the Week&#8217; which this week is <strong>&#8216;Stephanie&#8217;</strong>,  by <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/infopage-thanda.html">Thanda Creations</a>. </p>
<p>We love the simplicity of this design which incorporates 4 different cards in one, with the invitation card, directions card, RSVP and accommodation card all tied together with ribbon. The invitation fans out to reveal all you need to know about the wedding and of course the types of information cards can be changed to suit your wedding. This design is particularly useful if you are having a wedding overseas or if many of your guests will be coming from different countries when a lot of information needs to be included along with the invitation.</p>
<p>The RSVP card is perforated so your guests can easily detach it and send it back with the envelope provided. Thanda Creations also offer a multi lingual stationery printing service, so if you are printing your invitations in a number of different languages this service will be perfect for you!</p>
<p>The <strong>&#8216;Stephanie&#8217;</strong> wedding invitation design, including all 4 information cards costs £3.00 per invitation. Contact <a href="mailto:rachel@thanda-creations.co.uk?subject=Enquiry from Wedding Invitation Shop" target="_blank">Thanda Creations</a> for more details.</p>

<p>In 2009 they were proud to have been commended by “Print Week” as Social Stationery Printer of the Year”. They were also winner of the VOWS Award (Voted Outstanding Wedding Stationery Supplier)</p>
<p>The look and luxurious tactile feel of an embossed or letterpress image into a thick high quality card, speaks for itself. These cards, mainly hand fed and printed in small runs are far different from the mass production of so many cards.  The finish and boards used really do have to be seen to appreciate their superb quality.  Whether <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/letterpress-wedding-invitations.html">letterpress</a>, thermography, engraving, diestamping, blind embossing, plate sinking or foil blocking,  you can be sure of exceptional quality wedding  invitations and stationery.  If you are confused about all of these printing techniques, and which to choose, we will be publishing a handy guide tomorrow with the help of Tim Honnor from Piccolo Press.</p>
<p>Piccolo Press offer an entirely bespoke service, so if you have an idea for a design, they will work with you to see your ideas transformed into beautiful wedding stationery.  Contact <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.piccolopress.co.uk" target="_blank">Piccolo Press</a> directly to find out more about how thay can help you to design your perfect wedding stationery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We love receiving novel and <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk">unusual ideas for wedding invitations</a> here as the WIS and when Karen contacted us with her original idea we just thought it was so cute and a fabulous idea if you are fed up of  the cookie-cutter approach to weddings!  Karen came up with the idea for the <strong>Original Wedding Tea Towel</strong> while planning her own wedding.</p>
<p>Karen: <em>&#8220;We decided to get married at the end of last year, and we wanted something special for our invitation&#8230;Something different to create a buzz about the wedding, cheaper than standard paper options, good for the environment and something our guests could keep for ever, that’s how we came up with the idea for the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.weddingteatowels.co.uk/" target="_blank">Original Wedding Tea Towel</a>.  When we’d finished the design and sent them out the response was so incredible that we knew we couldn’t keep the idea to ourselves and so the Original Wedding Tea Towel was born.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>These one-of-kind invitations cost from as little as £2.75 with various colour options and printing variations available.  You can even choose their bespoke service.   These invitations really are an invite and a gift in one!  And they certainly won&#8217;t let your friends and family forget your special day in a hurry!  </p>
<p>We just LOVE ♥ them!  Contact Karen for more details at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.weddingteatowels.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.weddingteatowels.co.uk</a></p>
