It’s a warm sunny spring sunday and the call is out to visit the countryside. Where can we go? What can we find to do? The questions can be heard coming from houses large and small. There are walkers, climbers, picnickers and strollers all weighing up where to spend their day in the open air. A walk along the river or canal, followed by a pub lunch and gentle amble back. A drive to a National Trust attraction, incorporating lunch and a drive back on congested roads. Or there again, you could stay at home and enjoy the peace and quiet whilst everyone else is out! During that interlude of calm, you can plan your summer barbie and decide what to put on your save the date cards. Your party guests will be delighted when they receive your classic satin black cards with holoprint writing inviting them to save the date for the summer event of the year.

Printing your Save The Date Cards.

It can be quite therapeutic to print your Save The Date Cards whilst listening to music. Sometimes a bit of heavy metal keeps the action going on a large order, or perhaps a little country music to accompany a smaller print run with a tricky design. Whichever music suits the occasion there are sometimes little hiccups. All set up, cards ready, correct foil aligned and Bzzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzzz. It’s a fly. Now who let a fly into the print room?

We can’t have that. It might end up fused onto a card! Quality control would never forgive a foiled fly!

It’s no use reaching for the fly spray. We don’t want to contaminate the cards.

There’s only one answer. Where’s that fly swatter. Quality control had hidden it, but not well enough. Sneak up on the fly, allowing for it’s three hundred and sixty degree vision, aim for where it will be half a second after it’s taken off … and splat.

That’s better, the Save the date cards are safe again.

“To save, or not to Save The Date, that is the question” could have rolled off Shakespeare’s quill pen if Save The Date Cards had been around in his time. Can you imagine the text he would have penned? Can you imagine the graphics Leonardo Da Vinci would have sketched if Save The Date Cards had been around in his time? They would have been priceless masterpieces by now. Now the great masters have come and gone, but we will do our best to produce classic high quality Save The Date Cards just for your special occasion which we would like to think will stand the test of time and still look good in years to come. If something is designed and produced in a certain manner, it can transcend fashion and continue as a timeless classic. This is what we aim to achieve for you : a unique announcement of your forthcoming event.

Save the date cards were not a part of the British wedding stationary pack traditionally and still seem not to be. Whilst it is usual to have matching invitations, hymn sheets, serviettes, favour boxes and thank you cards, it is still acceptable to have totally different save the date cards. Whether this is due to the idea being american in origin is debatable, or whether it is more down to themes evolving once the big day comes more into focus is another possible avenue of consideration. Whatever the reason save the date cards are an area where imagination can begin to formulate the future theme. The plastic cards we produce will be admired by your intended guests and they will expect no less effort to be put into the main part of your planning. We hope we can produce something special just for you to set the stage for the main event.

The Spring equinox occurred last week and this coming weekend we change the clocks. Back to lighter evenings again. Wonderful. The lighter nights make you want to get out and about, sort out those little jobs in the garden you’ve been putting off, that tidying up and rubbish shifting. Next thing you know it will be barbecue season and time to plan the summer parties. Summer parties can be prolonged affairs, starting slowly in the afternoon, building up to the feast off the barbie, then drifting into a sultry summer evening, if the weather holds out that is. Even if the rain starts it can still be fun with a couple of decent gazebos to house your guests. In this current economic climate why not start planning your next big summer party now, to give you something to look forward to and don’t forget to order your Save The Date Cards for your guests then they too will be able to look forward to a little fun in the months to come.

Save the date cards can be supplied as fridge magnet cards or as straight-forward Save The Date Cards,

We don’t use the flexible magnetic rubber sheet approach for fridge magnets as it is not compatible with our hot foil machine process.

Squidged magnetic sheet does not look good!

However, exquisitely metallic foil printed cards with a discreet magnet fixed to the back do look rather special. As our customers expect the best, that is what we aim to provide.

When you have a special event to announce, we will endeavor to produce that special card which works with your hopes and expectations. From the moment we send out a sample pack, through the process of gathering the information you wish to make known, right through to the printing and dispatching of your order, we will do our utmost to keep your special event in mind. 

We know you have only one chance to make a first impression.

Remember remember the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot! 

Some dates are remembered as a lesson to remind  us what can go wrong and a traditional way to encourage people to remember was through the use of rhyme. Before the majority of people could read and write many rhymes were taught to ensure knowledge was not lost. Of course good rhymes were used also to the same effect. Often these developed into folk tales and even folk songs, to be sung by traveling minstrels moving from one village to the next.

Nowadays we are more literate and instead of learning rhymes we send cards and invitations, read newspapers and write emails. Of all the cards we send or receive there is nothing quite like a high quality Save The Date Card. Such a simple little message, the twitter of cards may be just two names, a date and the words “Save The Date”. Simple, but oh so effective.

Our average Save The Date Card customer.

Just who is our average Save The Date Card customer? Are they young, old, middle aged, rich, poor or in between? Where do they live and what do they do for a living? A combination of statistics and demographics would provide some impressive answers, allow us to draw graphs and charts and print glossy brochures tempting everyone by identifying all at the same time.

We know really that there is no Mr, Mrs, Miss or Ms Average, so we don’t produce graphs and charts; instead we produce individual personalised cards for individuals to reflect their own wishes and personality.

Maybe you feel relieved to know you will not be treated as a number or a blip on a graph. We care about our Save The Date Cards and we try to empathise with our customers to understand their vision of the card they really want.

At last the weather has warmed up a little and there are signs that Spring is on it’s way.  The hedgerows are showing the first light green leaves and the birds are showing their brighter plumage. Spring is the cleanest, purest season of the year.

Dark winter is finally in retreat, though not yet beaten. Spring heralds the start of the fresh year, when flora and fauna re-awaken and look for their mates. Spring is also a time for lovers of all ages to plan ahead and look towards a long life together. Winter gave them time to think and decide, Spring is the time for planning and Summer is for action. Plan your Wedding now and you can announce it with one of our select Save The Date Cards; a card with style and shine to reflect your own happiness. We will provide you with just the right card to Save The Date for your future happiness.

A card is a card

A card is a card if it’s card, yet a card is still a card if it’s plastic! 

Now how can that be?

Save The Date Cards come in many different shapes, sizes and materials, yet they are all known as cards.

Artists can sketch on card, people can write cards for birthdays, bingo players can fill in cards and workers can be given their cards

Cards are versatile, as is the word “card.”

We like to think our Save The Date Cards can be multi functional, only limited by the imagination for their use and application.

That special event you are planning, that party you want to be a hit, that christening; they all can be announced with style and a touch of class using one of our Save The Date Cards.

Add a little touch of the unexpected and brighten up your friends lives with our high quality Save The Date Cards.
